SYNOPSIS
Karasuno High School's volleyball team blazes through the Miyagi Prefecture qualifiers and punches their ticket to nationals after a grueling victory over Shiratorizawa Academy. But across the prefecture in Tokyo, four powerhouse teams are locked in a brutal fight for just three spots at the national tournament. Nekoma High School, hungry for their shot at the big stage, must navigate a gauntlet of fierce competitors including Fukurodani, Nohebi Academy, and the formidable Itachiyama.
