Okay So I Waited To Talk About This Until The One-shot Was Officially Posted But Now That It Has, I Want

Furudate-sensei’s little one-liners / Q&As from the final Haikyuu guidebook! Of course I must collect them all! LET’S GO!!! 😤

*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!

Character Comments

Hinata Shoyo: I’m really glad that he was never the strongest protagonist of this story.

Kageyama Tobio: It was tough because the more he grows, the less of a presence he has. It’s like in Dragonball, this guy is “too fast to see”!

Sawamura Daichi: Just don’t die when you try to help others.

Sugawara Koushi: It takes someone strong to always be kind to others.

Azumane Asahi: If he could just affirm himself once, he’d be so strong.

Nishinoya Yuu: Invincible.

Tanaka Ryuunosuke: I wanted to become this type of senpai.

Tsukishima Kei: When I first drew him, I tried to make him look like an unpleasant guy. But really, someone who’s unpleasant will just come off as unpleasant either way, and everyone’s idea of what “unpleasant” looks like will differ. [the phrasing on this one hurt my brain omg 😵‍💫]

Yamaguchi Taadashi: Surprisingly, he thinks before acting.

Ennoshita Chikara: Strict with others and strict with himself.

Kinoshita Hisashi: He’s the type who’s always repeating to himself, “If only I’d done better.” Probably a perfectionist.

Narita Kazuhito: He’s the type to do some pretty unusual things on the regular, but he only notices it’s not normal when someone points it out.

Shimizu Kiyoko: She has a lot of muscle mass. It isn’t just her face that’s beautiful, but also her posture.

Yachi Hitoka: She’s the self-sacrificing type, so I want her to be careful about her body.

Ukai Keishin: If there were any representation of me in this story, it would be him.

Takeda Ittetsu: I’m glad he isn’t the perfect coach.

Tiny Q&A

Note: Given name origins were already revealed in the previous guidebook. Sorry!

Q: What was the reason for Hinata changing his first-person pronoun from おれ [“ore” spelled phonetically, the way children write] to 俺 [“ore” in Kanji] when he went to Brazil?

I wanted to give him an air of being more grown-up.

Q: When Kageyama started playing in Italy, how did he learn how to speak Italian?

I don’t think he learned formally. I would expect his conversations consist of a mix of gestures, English, and maybe a little bit of Japanese—just learning as he goes along.

Q: Please show us Hinata’s and Kageyama’s signatures, if you would.

Q: Which character’s post-graduation path did you have the most trouble with?

Sawamura. Because I feel like he’s able to be active in any kind of job.

Q: In the V.League arc, what was the reason for Kiyoko-san not wearing her usual glasses?

She was just in the mood to wear contacts.

shinichiro’s confession to you was extremely rushed and he was speaking extremely fast. his friends had told him that somebody else was going to confess to you later that day and he decided that he was going to at least try asking you out. he was slightly annoyed when he found out that nobody was actually going to confess to you but nevertheless he was ecstatic that you actually agreed to go out with him.

Oki birthday hcs? How about how the kurasuno boys would plan a surprise party? Or what they do on their own birthdays?

🐚

HI, I’M SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT </3 I saw this the day after my birthday at work, started writing the day after, and then now I tried to write more but I’m really struggling to write more than three characters D: I’ll have to smush it down to Asahi, Daichi, and Suga if that’s alr! 

How the Karasuno 3rd years would react/celebrate your birthday! 

- They all definitely knew beforehand... Just kidding, only Suga and Daichi knew besides Coach! Those two like to know what’s important to their teammates!  - Everyone except for Daichi and Suga are just “WHAT?!?!” and immediate panic to start party planning!  - Like it’s you!! Everyone loves you so much, how could they not plan?!  - But it’s fuckin’ chaos to plan who buys what... Stuff can get expensive! Not all of them have jobs!  - Until Coach just tells them he’ll bring stuff. Then it’s settled (They just can’t let him choose what to bring... Old man tastes are a no-go! /j)  Daichi 

Daichi is the one who tells everyone along with Sugawara, he finds it amusing how Tanaka and Nishinoya start freakin’ out (Asahi is quietly panicking). He takes control over deciding who does what, he knows his players well enough to know who can do the best at certain things!  He personally takes over finding out stuff you like subtly. Like cake flavor, color, all that stuff if he doesn’t already know. Daichi knows how to smooth talk! So does Sugawara, but Sugawara can’t lie for the life of him.  Despite being calmer, he’s so excited!! Your first birthday with them?! And he’s your captain?! WOAH!!! He’s so proud of you! Sugawara 

After Daichi tells everyone, Sugawara is quick to give Asahi a good slap on the back to get rid of any negative thoughts... This will be explained at Asahi’s part but moving on! Suga is so happy that everyone is getting together to celebrate ya! Like look at his team go! And he’s part of it, even bigger yay! He’d help Kiyoko keep a list of who does what (despite Kiyoko being completely capable of doing it herself, Nishi and Tanaka are yelling out so many ideas... How could you keep up?) He cannot wipe the happy smile off his face, he’s so happy to celebrate you in any way. Sugawara may not say it well but... He appreciates you so much. You do so much for the team! And you do so much for him too... He wants to show you that he’s thankful!  Asahi

HE DIDN’T KNOW?! Poor guy feels so bad for not knowing, he never even thought to ask!! But those thoughts go away after Suga give him a back-breaking slap on the back! Ok ok! He needs to keep track!  A bit overwhelmed by Tanaka and Nishinoya literally yelling at the top of their lungs again, but secretly matching their excitement. Not only will he get to see you so happy when you see the surprise, but he gets to help!! Asahi doesn’t hesitate to take the role of planning out the decorations. Afterall, the team really hyped him up on his designing skills!  Asahi could never say this to your face, but he’s so happy that you’re friends with him. You make him so happy, you help him when his anxiety is too much, and he wants to give back to you. You’re an amazing person and you deserve to have something special! He’s gonna make sure this is the best lookin’ party you’ll ever see! (Even if it’s dollar-store decorations... That doesn’t count stop-)
