This volume was soooo good! Utsumi is officially my favorite character and his dialogue and the way he handles himself and his thought process are just *chef’s kiss*. So I’m this volume, we get Utsumi’s backstory and it’s revealed he’s a trans man when he runs into an old, volleyball teammate. I genuinely like the way he handled things because he was just always so sure of himself and felt empowered to live his life. It was interesting to see him grapple with how to deal with someone who had good international but is just so completely overbearing to the point of disrespect and being able to challenge them. Anyways, great story, by far my favorite volume, and excited for the last one.
