Haikyu!! - Volume 8

Get up again Nota 9

This is a very important match for Karasuno. It was their come-back in the game with new players, talented and determined. But they are not at the peak just yet. Even if Suga managed to turn the tides a little, if Ukai tried a new move with putting Yamaguchi in the third set, that was not enough. But at one point they had to know they were heading for that outcome. This match was important for the team to experience the loss as one, new and old boys together. They all had to show a lot of vulnerability after a game they gave their all. For the new boys like Kageyama, Hinata, Yamaguchi or Tsukishima, they got to lose as part of a team they care about (more or less). The upper-class boys already know the feeling, but it is not so easy to go through it. They are in their final year at Karasuno and they want a little bit of that promised volleyball glory. I never expected for Karasuno to win this one match against Aoba Johsai. It’s the way of sports manga, get hit down, get up stronger. The Karasuno crows will fly high.
