because i need inspiration and, more importantly, SO MUCH CANON REVIEW before i can do anything with yamaguchi or start anything with kindaichi

Chapter 8: The View from the Top!

aka the chapter where kageyama and hinata learn a friendship and more importantly, this happens (aureatian):

BABY

probably won't be posting toooooo too much since i already liveblogged the anime, but

some things are too cute not to share :>

not used to tsukishima using this many exclamation points, looks like yamaguchi isn't either

thank god furudate finally stopped making tsukishima just smile constantly before figuring out his default expression was a scowl, that was unsettling

Chapter 9: Combo Formed

JKADGS;GH

Chapter 10: The Strain on the Timid

this man. v important

take-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

se~n~sei~

pictured above: actually least-cool-person-on-earth whose entire appearance and posture borders on illegal, false advertisement

THIS IS HIS DATING SIM CUTOUT

kageyama "I'm not a model" tobio

and this is haikyuu so of course on the PAGE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING:

BEHOLD YOUR AWKWARD SON

my sweet bab

tmw ur so ancillary to the plot u dont get a character model till past chapter 10

ennoshita is that you i honestly can't tell

Chapter 11: A "Reunion" and an "Utter Failure"

aka "I Cannot Believe I Missed the Opportunity to Prompt This Panel on The SASO Bonus Round"

AAAA KINDAICHI IS HERE

AOBABBY

you know, the centerpiece/focus parts of the page in this manga are routinely fantastic, some of them give me chills the intensity is so good

and then you get pages like this where furudate took one look at all the smaller or bg panels and decided he just did not give one singular fuck

meeting his deadline was far more important than giving daichi a real human finger

this is art

i'm not kidding it's been ten chapters and in half ennoshita's appearances he is drawn as someone completely different
