Haikyu!!, Vol. 26 by Haruichi Furudate

4.0

---

1. opens with back to back panels of 'can't you say it more indirectly' and 'can you say it directly” and Kags trying to learn all the rules everyone asks of him - YEAH TELL ME THIS IS ISNT AUTISM!!! ❤️
2. Tsukki ideating and salivating at all the ways Date Tech can stop Hinata ❤️
3. Block discipline vs mind games arc ❤️ Also just realising how exceptional this team’s interpersonal communication and insight into behaviour is, that simply does not exist in any of the real life adult volleyball teams I’ve played on
4. Keishin threatening his reserves to stop hiding from him or he’ll make them sit with him on the bench ❤️
5. I’ve grown to really enjoy Futakuchi (always tryna start sth) ❤️
6. Kenma complaining in the extra panels that he doesn’t eat like a bird he eats a normal amount ❤️
7. I’m not certain but Kogane might be the first person in the series to seek/get setting advice from Kageyama? ❤️ precioso
8. Kageyama finger training 😭
9. Every time I don’t read Haikyuu for a while, I forget how goddamn intricate the writing is ❤️
10. What is Kageyama thinking when bumping serves? “How best… to kill the ball” GOD ❤️
11. “and coach grandpa Ukai said” ❤️
12. Oh man I didn’t know Hinata calls his backyard levels practice “my super secret ultra lonely pass drill” 😂😂😂❤️
13. Daichi’s nightmare 💀
14. Third years’ prayer ❤️
15. Kageyama refusing Hinata’s pilgrimage 😂 Hinata chucking his phone 😂😂
16. They travel to Tokyo for the Spring Tourney and watch “I’m awesome the movie” and Tsukki gets stranded with the late night babysitting bike all on Jan 4 👀❤️
17. Daichi asking Ennoshita to watch the “problem children” and not Suga cause Suga is too easy to tempt 😂
18. Casually sexualising Kiyoko’s bath 👎🏼 Casually sexualising female players at Nationals 👎🏼👎🏼
19. Yooo thank you anime for yassifying everyone cause why are Kuroo and Bokuto introduced like sleep deprived drug addicts?? 😂
20. Love how Kiyoko’s reference for 'this team needs to keep going' is KageHina’s post-defeat crashout after Seijoh
