This manga has a really good mix of sports, friendship and romance. If you ain't about watching chapters about people training and playing matched I would skip.

One of the best parts of this manga is the friendships, especially among the girls on the volleyball team. The cast is fairly small for a sports team and so each character has there own story and moment to shy and you begin to like all of them. The girls also struggle, you see the passion they have for the sport and for each other, while yes some are more gifted than others we watch all of them work hard.

The romance in this manga is also based around the sport, both loving each other through encouragement and respect. You can really feel the main character fight for what she wants and follow her dreams with all her determination.

I've read this manga about three times now and every time it manages to make me tear up, although that's mostly because I'm lame and love seeing girls get along I would definitely recommend this.
