As Much As I Wish Haikyuu Was Getting Another Season, I Already Know I'm Going To Be Crying My Eyes Out

what i love about haikyuu is how realistic and human it is. not everyone continued with volleyball; some characters had to take longer than others to make their dreams come true, while some achieved their dreams much sooner. hinata & oikawa moved across the world to become better players and that difficult decision paid off in the end!! and some characters, like kageyama, knew what they wanted since they were kids and stayed dedicated for years. every person had their own path and dreams, and it all came true! no matter how long or short their journey was, each character achieved something great in the end. haikyuu is just so beautiul and moving, and i'm so grateful it exists!!!!

i miss aki hayakawa so much. his story was so heartbreaking but so well written. the man who hated devils grew to love them to the point he would do anything to protect them. he had so much love to give. his kindness in such a cruel world was such a beautiful part of his character. i love him so very much.

i just LOVE finding a ship that is built on such amazing writing, and you can see how the characters impact one another. romantic or platonic, being able to watch two characters grow closer in such beautifully intimate ways is one of the best parts of consuming media. you can see all the author's hard work pay off with each interaction. it's so beautiful. and all the people that create fanart, edits, fanfics, of these ships pay all the love forward. it's such a beautiful and fun way to appreciate media. there is nothing better than discovering a new ship and falling in love with the characters as a pair AND individuals.

what i always admired about tobio is how despite the fear of being rejected by his team again, he still stuck with volleyball. during his grief, the rough time in middle school, and the challenges in high school, not once did tobio ever think to himself “i want to give up”. time and time again, he’s shown how much he loves volleyball and his passion to be the greatest setter ever. his determination is so inspiring and his character growth throughout the series is so beautiful. his desire to grow as a player influenced his growth as a person which i always thought was incredible. he’s an amazing character! <3

the beginning!!

yona of the dawn 269 thoughts!!

i loved this chapter. hak & yona’s love for each other is so beautiful and strong. not even the dragon gods can keep them away from each other. hak proposing to yona because he can’t stand to leave her alone to die. they have come so far from all the trouble in the first few chapters to now persistently sticking together no matter what.

soowon stabbing the body of the crimson dragon is such a bold & strategic move that no one OTHER than soowon could pull it off. by doing so, the dragons are out of the chalice giving hak & yona time to save the three remaining dragons. with zeno able to defend, soowon & zeno are undeniably an amazing team.

i love how hak & yona working together parallels to when it was the two of them against the world in the beginning of the series. just like it was the two of them looking for the dragons, the two of them will now save them alongside zeno & soowon.

i’m looking forward to the next chapter! i hope we’re able to see what yoon is up to and hopefully nothing too bad will happen to the characters (i’m sure something bad will happen anyway tho 💔)

my current favorite ships at the moment!

kagehina

this ship is my number one favorite ship of ALL TIME. their relationship is so beautifully written. from shoyo and tobio not having a team to creating a lifelong rivalry that will last forever. i talk about them so often, and i don't see that stopping anytime soon. the love i have for them knows no bounds; i genuinely believe they are soulmates. the bond they share, their growth, and the overall relationship between them is perfection. i really don't think there's another ship like them for me!

shimamitsu

they have grown on me SO MUCH this year. not only is skip and loafer one of my favorite pieces of media ever, shima & mitsumi's relationship is one of the best things ever to me. whether they are together romantically or platonically, there's no denying that these two characters mean so much to one another. they impact each other, they make each other so happy, and in turn, it makes ME happy!! i am just so in love with this ship. whenever i see them together, i just start to smile so big!!

hakyona

they are so nostalgic for me & finally reading akayona and seeing them become even more special to each other was just amazing. my favorite shoujo couple ever. they just love each other so profoundly & would do anything to protect their other half. i can’t get enough of them! hakyona is so beautifully written, and i could not imagine a more perfect example of peak shoujo slow burn.

killugon

i recently watched hunter x hunter this year, and i have been infected with the killugon virus. they grew on me so much in such a short amount of time. watching gon and killua become so close and special to each other was so amazing to see. there's no denying that killugon means the world to each other. they are written so beautifully. discovering killugon was the highlight of this year for me. THEY ARE JUST SO SWEET AND MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

cheolmiae

recently read aslfua this year & when i say im OBSESSED!!!!! this is such a perfect slowburn & if you know me, you know i LOVEEEE a slowburn. such a cute ship, first love type of thing. friends to lovers. awkward & silly. they are so comforting to me. such a well done manhwa full of love and friendship. just perfect.

edwin

SLOWBURN EXCELLENCE!!!!! CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS!!!! she was there for him in his worst times. HE VOWED TO NEVER MAKE HER CRY AGAIN. THEY GREW TOGETHER. THEY DID EVERYTHING TO HELP EACH OTHER. they are so perfect!!!!! i just can't explain to you how much they mean to me!!!

bakudeku

i will be honest, bakudeku was not a fav of mine when i first got into mha but after i finally read the manga for the first time, i can now say i am on the bakudeku train. katsuki and izuku are both favorite characters of mine, and they were written so well as individuals and as a ship. they mean so much to each other. they serve as fuel to accomplish their goals, as a friend they can count on, and as a duo that can take on the world. bakudeku is very special to me!!!

kyoru

i find them so warm and gentle. tohru was finally able to be vulnerable with kyo and kyo finally knows what it's like to be loved. they went through so much as kids, and i just love knowing that they will always have each other no matter what. they are my favorite part of fruits basket!!! just such a beautiful couple!!

koutaba

ao haru ride is SO special to me. it was one of the first shoujos i ever watched, and i recently have been obsessed with them. kou is such an amazingly written character, and i love how futaba was the one who "saved" him. they were middle school sweethearts who found their way back to each other. they have so much love for one another, and i'm so happy they got their ending.
