Status Updates From Haikyu!! (3-in-1 Edition), ...

ah i can't wait for the dark haired angry one to slowly allow himself to be seen and understood (and loved) by the light haired stubbornly optimistic one via their positions as setter and spiker. tale as old as time

well shit that might've been one of the most effective first chapters i've ever read. i immediately understand why this is one of the ultimate comfort watches/reads for so many people
genuinely how does this go on for 45 volumes though (i will be finding out at some point that's for sure)

the only other sports animanga i've consumed is sk8, and this is already such a different use of the sports as queerness metaphor. skateboarding is a sport you CAN do alone (which plays into the whole toxic love/obsession and grief metaphors that are also present), but volleyball NECESSITATES teamwork. i see all the pieces being laid out on the board, what a great 1st chapter

this means nothing this literally means nothing i'm not committing to anything i haven't signed shit
we just got a copy at the library and so i am innocently browsing!!!! that's all!!! hard cut to me watching professional volleyball
totally unrelated but did y'all see that pwhl game last night
