The return of Hongo? The giantess spiker? The tactics? Arrrgghhh this match is actually brilliant and it's only round 1 of the inters.

I officially like the revenge plot more than the Harry Potter stuff - the intensity isn't quite there anymore. Looking forward to Mia leaving school now ...

An interesting case of a male fridging.

RIP Slegger. I was just growing to like you.

It's tragic, but that's war for you!

13 years on this hits real different.

Well, my review from 2012 gave me a laugh

Just the little ideas in this are insanely good.

Oh the story finished at p130 and we have a backup short. it was a little abrupt but I think the ending did what it had to do.

Possibly the most sustained horror writing from Watanabe so far (in a series that was pure sensation fiction for so long). Kinda makes me want to follow her writing career into the 70s

This is like Scream 6, you know, a great great movie but nevertheless everyone keeps getting stabbed and then they live anyway and it's a teensy bit annoying.

Unrequited possessive incest Yuri wasn't where I pegged this as going but in hindsight I guess I probably should have...

New villain on the scene.

Well, Snape never chopped anyone's arm off. Take that Harry Potter!

Like crazy mother like crazy daughter. Pure cray now and still 2 and a half volumes to go.

The soft reset has done wonders for this. Now Maria and Muse are born and we have the second generation in play, with one child being and absolute Damien ... well, it's fun for sure.

Reading reviews of this I can see that all the conservative women are properly riled up. These people don't deserve books, honestly.

If you're not willing to die for volleyball then what's the point?

C'mon Jay don't hold back .. we need the gory details.

After the amazing hazing arc that match felt a little low-key. and now what? Another demon coach who is most definitely gonna give them the most brutal training regime ever ... please don't run out of steam! Arrggh

Epic exchange:

鮎原: わかってるわ ママのいいたいことは
Kozue: I know, I know what you're trying to say, Mama.

母: わかっていません！ あけてもくれても バレーバレーとおまけに かえりが8時だなんて
Mother: No, you don't understand! Day in and day out, it's nothing but volleyball, volleyball! On top of that, coming home at 8 o'clock!

I'm with mom. Shut up about the goddamn volleyball (though granted if she did that there'd be no Manga)
