Baby Noya with a stick and a doggo. 😁

Bokuto with two sticks just makes sense.

... great symbolism, as always. I love the light haloeing Hinata while he's in the air, his friends circling him looking up, like they're lifting him up.

The large lettering of one word emphasizing the sound of Hinata kicking off the ground (and I really like ending on a sound)

I feel like picking this for my first manga series may have ruined me for other mangas.

🤤 Absolutely salivating over this artwork here. Amazing! 👏 The angle from below puts emphasis on his legs and feet and draws or eyes upwards. The foreshortening gives a sense of power and tension.
And I love the use of contrast in these dynamic shots. We make a lot of good use of highlighting here, too. And line for movement.

Just! The shoe, and ugggh! I love it.

150p. Aww. Kags appreciation page.

173p. "Breaking down the walls so the hitters can get through. That's what a setter is for."

About time. Let's unleash our boy.

Another healthy team oriented mentality. It's not, 'I just set the balls. If the hitters can't hit them that's their fault' (which what early Kageyama believed), but 'my job is to help my hitters by picking the best path.'

144p. "meep" I live how noya looks at yaku like he's a all-star player, and Bokuto looks at Yaku like he's the monster that goddess under his bed. 😅

149p. "Shrimp-itis." 😂
.
I love that Suga seems like this sweet cinnamon roll on the outside, and somehow still scares the sht out of other players.
🎶 oh she's sweet but a psycho 🎶

131p. I love that Noya gets so awestruck when Yaku makes a good play. Bc he feels no shame or jealousy, just pure admiration

That's one of my favorite things about this series. The healthy depiction of admiration and rivalries amongst their peers.

133p. lol, and healthy examples of less than admiration, Bokuto.

116p. Kuroo: Hey kenma, you know how it's typical the HERO that goes up against the boss in the final bid battle.
Yeah, you're more like the villain.

Ahhh friendship 😌

124p. Kenma: "It's sad watching the end of interesting Shoyo.

Yeah. Thanks for that.

129p. "He plucks the guys wings with his own hands, and laments that he can't fly."
.
I relate to Goshiki so much in this moment.

108p. "Getting marked this bad by the other team is just something the ace has to deal with."
Shoyo's gotta be wired now. Coach just called him a ace.

108-109p. Hinata had become so confident in his abilities. So much so that he now views these obstacles as challenges instead of as a drawback.

Look at the possessive way he yelled "mine!" to claim that dig.

We are very fixated on Sho.

I love the bars in conjunction with the text. "and cut them off," as they talk about boxing Hinata in. It really drives home the visual metaphor.

And then the full page panel of the cage, with the heavy contrast. I live the ongoing bird metaphor, and this is one of the best uses of our so far.

101p. Kai: Karasuno is a team that asks a lot of-- and gets a lot from-- their middle blockers."

Kenma: Shoyo will prob start to feel the confinement and that will make him fidgety and anxious. He'll get antsy to jump.

And Shoyo really loves to jump.

Kenma: And as a setter, you don't like letting your hitters stew on a mistake too long.

103p. Lev looks so lost.
"Fo'Sho' " STFU Kuro, you recite biology facts
