Author's Note

"It feels like I was all "Wow, volume 20 already" just a few weeks ago, and now here we are at volume 30. Thank you so much for reading! This series may seem long, but there are tons and tons of scenes that I've cut to make sure it wasn't even longer. Sometimes I think I might be too scared my readers will get bored with me. I want to try my hand at a chapter or three where the characters just kind of lounge around someone's room chatting the whole time. Not that I have the courage to actually do it!"

Synopsis

The Inarizaki vs. Karasuno game continues! With their own Freak Quick and on-the-fly plays, the Miya twins and Inarizaki make it clear that they are, in fact, the greatest contenders in the tournament. Meanwhile, Nekoma struggles through their own game against Sarukawa Tech. Will Nekoma and Karasuno make it through their games and keep the dream of the dumpster battle alive?

At the time where Tanaka first saw Shimizu, Ennoshita was amazed by how she jumped over an entire flight of stairs gracefully. Reference to Chapter 264.

After Kuroo and Yaku insult each other using chemical names, Kai makes a comment that astaxanthin is red like their team colors so Yaku's insult is valid. Reference to Chapter 265.

Furudate talks about they won a lottery around the time Chapter 266 came out.

Kai and Yamamoto question why Kenma was angry during the match (Chapter 268). He answers saying that he was angry with gravity and that it's gravity's fault that his body feels heavy and the ball will fall down. Kai then says that he should be angry with the ground instead and Kenma agrees with him.

Volume 31 is the battle between Nishinoya and Atsumu!
