Summary
Shoyo Hinata is out to prove that in volleyball you don’t need to be tall to fly! Ever since he saw the legendary player known as “the Little Giant” compete at the national volleyball finals, Shoyo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever! Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else? Karasuno fights their way through the preliminaries and wins, earning them a spot in the October qualifier rounds of the Spring Tournament. Their first opponent is Johzenji, an unorthodox team of partiers that leaves Karasuno baffled about how to counter them! And when Karasuno’s captain, Daichi Sawamura, is injured in the quarterfinal round, Chikara Ennoshita steps up to replace him. Will this often-overlooked team member be able to bring the team to the semifinals?
