Chapter 5 of The! Beach Stars has been released.

Spoiler for Chapter 5:

Chapter starts off with Iruka and co. just finished getting past the prelims. Then it's off to the bath house to where we are treated to heavy fanservice by the girls. The rest of the chapter deals with the volleyball teams picking lots to see which block they will be competing in. It looks like the Iruka was wanting Hayakawa right off the bat but it looks like it going to go where they will meet in the finals. The chapter ends with Iruka/Hitomi are going against a team that specialize in using insane power server.

Chapter 6 of The! Beach Stars has been released.

Spoiler for Chapter 6:

Very interesting chapter. It looks like Iruka and Hitomi are having some problems with the new team. It would seem that the team specializes in using an ace serve called the Leopard serve and it takes Iruka and co the entire chapter to figure out a way to stop it. Really enjoyable chapter, especially at the end where the beach court looks like a battle scene.

Chapter 7 of The! Beach Stars has been released. Also, it would appear that Vol. 2 would be the last volume for this series. Chapter 7-12 plus epilogue is what that is left, so please enjoy reading the remaining chapter when they are released.

Spoiler for Chapter 7:

Lol, what is it with these matches. I know it's a sports manga but dang, when those balls are hit there are shockwaves from the impact. Very entertaining chapter as the first match we see are the Ehime team vs the Tokyo team. Hayakawa come looking pissed as usual until when she serves the ball, then her expression turns psychotic. Her partner, Ono, shows off her incredible blocking power as they are taking on the Ehime team. The next match we see are Kanagasa team vs the Aomori team as Iruka and co face off against friends. Iruka goes off with her spiking power and the match goes one. It would seem that Iruka's team has the advantage until the opponent puts herself into somesort of trance and goes into the zone. The chapter ends there. Really can not wait for the next release.

Chapter 8 of The! Beach Stars has been released.

Spoiler for Chapter 8:

Very interesting chapter. It starts out with the girl Kagurazaka going into a trance like state and beginning to super spike balls that are getting past Iruka and Hitomi. It turns out that the technique that Kagurazaka is using is similar to Hitomi's Mach tech she used back in the Beach Stars!! match. It gets more interesting that all of a sudden Iruka then starts to get into the zone and is having a spiking war with the other girl. The match ends with the other team giving up after Kagurazaka's body gives out. It is also known that Iruka's main rival also passes on to the next round. During the chapter, it would seem that another rivalry is taking place.

Chapter 9 of The!! Beach Stars has been released. Semifinals time!!!

Spoiler for Chapter 9:

It's semifinals time and the first team battle was Hayakawa/Rieka vs Miyauchi/Kitagami. It turns out that Hayakawa and Miyauchi were partners and winners of last years tournament but are at opposite sides now. It would turn out that Miyauchi has been harboring a huge grudge against Hayakawa since the split and during the supersaiyen volleyball fest match, has been constantly targeting her with her Halbread spike. It would turn out that Hayakawa has been holding back and is now using her real spike (Phantom Stinger) to win the match. Rieka uses her Spider Catch ability to help with the 21-3 route. Miyauchi is still in denile as she calls the win an accident. The chapter ends with the next match being Iruka/Hitomi's turn.

now we wait 3 months for a new chapter

[NoLongerSane]

Lol, guess what, new chapter released (Chapter 10). I think there are about two more to go before the series is finished.

Spoiler for Chapter 10:

Short and simple explaination, Iruka and Kotomi win their match to head towards the final. There was some parts where the other team used a curving serve to win some points and it was revealed that Akira can use either of her hands to land a spike. Iruka's will to win and double teaming Akira at the net allowed for Iruka's team to advance. Next up is the finals.

[NoLongerSane]

New chapter released. Only one left to go.

Spoiler for Chapter 11:

The finals are starting but there are some off field antics before Iruka and Hitomi hit the court. Hayakawa/Rieka are awaiting the arrival and the match starts. Pretty much this is an underdog vs favorite as Hayakawa and Rieka are showing why they are the best. Hayakawa's team takes the first set with a large point margin. The chapter ends with Iruka coming up with a counter plan to get back in the game as the second set starts.

[NoLongerSane]

Final chapter of The!! Beach Stars has been released. A very interesting take on beach volleyball and a very entertaining series. Anyway, this is the final for the series at it's full. I will continue to re-read this series even though I have finished reading it because it's very entertaining.

Spoiler for Chapter 12 & Epilouge:

Iurka and Hitomi begin their counter attack as their new move has been introduced. After a hard fought second set (Iruka barely taking it) the final set comes down to who can reach to 16 points and the game point. After some back and forth, both Iruka and Hayakawa bring up their S game, but Iruka then starts using the techiques she has learned. She wins at the end as both use their power shots in a net confontation with Iruka coming out on top. Then ending has both Iruka and Hayakawa acknolodging each other. The epilouge is pretty showing what happens after the Madonna Cup and a glimps of what each player was doing. The series ends with Humvee thowing a volleyball for Iruka to hit as she is a third year highschooler.
