bonus: numai, another minor character that really moved me in this game
January 23, 2025 at 10:09 AM
team. even more than this, numai is “relieved” at the sight of kuguri’s frustration because it means that kuguri cares, which is the first step toward trying again.

and of couse, lev also senses his potential and how much he can still grow. those panels are some of my favorites
January 23, 2025 at 10:09 AM
but as the game progresses, kuguri seems to care a little more, which is why this small gesture of pumping his fist after a good play is so precious. love for volleyball is at the heart of haikyu!!, and i love how differently it is portrayed every time: tsukki blocking ushijima

awakening, have us feel the same emotions as the characters. furudate’s storytelling and art are inseparable, it embodies the essence of manga as a genre.

with this team,” even the most skilled and ambitious characters never fight alone, but bring the best out of their teams just as they are themselves supported by their teammates.

yet in the beginning of the nekoma vs nohebi arc, kuroo tells lev that teamwork is complicated too.

a tribute to love and everything that these two taught me 🥹
