I feel like each volume I read is my new favorite volume. But dang, I really enjoyed this one!
It was definitely less volleyball and more character growth and I loved it. Don't get me wrong, the boys got their butts whooped and didn't win a single set in two training camps, but hey, these baby crows are growing up!
The first training camp was tough. Karasuno goes up against Nekoma, Fukurōdani, Shinzen and Ubugawa... and get stomped, repeatedly. Hinata gets benched and comes to the realization he needs to change to get better.
From there, his desire to change motivates the rest of the team to want to change. Hinata trains with the original Ukai, Daichi watches film, Asahi works on his serve, Nishinoya tries to learn to set and Kageyama seeks guidance from Oikawa?!
In the second camp, the boys are out of sync, trying to put everything they've learned into practice. Despite the losses piling up, it's clear they've changed for the better and Nekoma's coach takes notice.
I love all the growth in Volume 10. So many great moments and I also love how they're setting up this rivalry with Hinata and Tsukishima. Excited to see what happens on day 3 of camp!
