Passions run high and old rivalries reignite--Kinjou and Fukutomi, Imaizumi and Midousuji...and Sakamichi and Sangaku!! And when the action-packed sprinting stage of the competition gets underway, Naruko and Tadokoro have their own war to wage as they lose ground on Hakone Academy's "Sprinting Machine," Izumida!! With the title of "Fastest Rider" on the line, who will come out on top?!

so it's one of those sports manga

[Sean O'Hara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Token love interest returns for the three people in the audience who don't ship guy-on-guy action.

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't like the introduction of the over-the-top creepy-ass villain with a lizard tongue, but this still remains an enjoyable sports manga. That's quite a feat considering I've never watched a second of real bicycle racing competitions.

I recommend ハイキュー!! 1 Haikyū!! 1 to anyone who enjoys the sportsmanship and team dynamics on display here.

The start of the three days inter high competition. Starting off with the sprinter race. Not a fan of Izumida with Andy and frank, but nice to see competition between the teammates.

These characters are weird. I wonder if bicycle races usually attract this kind of strange person, of if it's just this manga.

3.5, I took a pretty long break while reading this, I guess I can only handle so much cycling even though it all seems very exciting while I’m reading. You really can’t help reading the dialogue aloud as they yell during dramatic racing moments. The Abs guy was weird, Imaizumi’s rival is disturbing (and will hopefully be terribly defeated by his own bad choices), and the dramatic sprint finish was fun even if it took like 5 chapters to go 1km.

Honestly I can not say enough good things about this volume or about this series in general. I never thought I could care so much about a group of people who ride bikes for fun. But this volume especially gives us an even deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations. Which have been hinted at but never fully explored.

Kay, Long tongue guy creeps me out as much as ABS!! guy.

[Steven S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arrggg. Rasanya mau teriak aja. Seru banget!

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ab Guy makes the volume for me with his sheer ludicrousness. Also he reminds me of Lego Batman, so there's that.

Of course, I'm super biased and love everything about Yowamushi pedal. Always 5 stars~

ABS!

hooting and hollering, screeching and squealing

[The Book Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Egos flare and nerves are frayed as the High School Cylcing Inter-High race begins. We meet old rivals from Hakone and Imaizumi's nemisis from Kyoto Fushimi. (if you watch the anime this dude is CREEPY!)

It's only day one and an all out battle has begun for the sprinters of each team. The goal is the first checkpoint and Naruko and Tadokoro are both on the warpath. But, coming from behind is Hakone's ace sprinter and he's not going to let them win so easily.

This omnibus contains volumes 9-10.
