Receiving practice prepares Karasuno for Nekoma in Haikyu Volume 4. VIZ places receiving practice and a training camp ahead of the renewed rivalry. Buy this part of the run for the preparation behind a matchup: the advertised problem is keeping the ball playable, rather than finding another spectacular attack. Its practice-game setting also matters when choosing a stopping point; this is preparation for competition, with the existing team relationships already in place.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The rivalry is inherited, but the receiving work belongs to the players who must actually play it. VIZ's synopsis puts those two scales together: a longstanding contest between schools and the immediate need to improve a basic team skill. The useful argument is that history cannot receive a serve. For readers collecting rivalry episodes, the preparation is part of the purchase, because it explains what Karasuno needs from this meeting beyond a result. Treating the book as a standalone grudge match would miss that practical purpose.
