It took me a considerable amount of time to bring myself to finish reading this one. Why? Three words:
Second-hand embarrassment!
I mean I knew it was coming, because I'd seen it in the anime (and believe me, it was hard enough to get through it then), but somehow that didn't really help. Some people might think of Hinata deciding to crash the special training camp at Shiratorizawa as being ballsy, or brave, or otherwise admirable. Not me. I found it so awkward, to the point where it was actually a little uncomfortable to watch/read about. And it may have all worked out for him in the end, but that doesn't stop the situation from being absolutely cringeworthy.
I'd have given this volume a lower rating for that alone, but on reflection that didn't really seem fair. After all, once I was done cringing I still enjoyed this volume as much as I've been enjoying the others.
