i get tears in my eyes whenever i think of how karasuno was the foundation of kageyama’s growth. tobio found a team that accepted him & gave him the space to grow as a setter. not being accepted into shiratorizawa was the best thing that could happen to him. because of that rejection, he found his way to shoyo, who would become his lifelong partner and rival. because of his teammates, he finally understood what it meant to be a team. he felt valued and was able to build a connection with people that went beyond volleyball. it’s because he played at karasuno that he’s now able to create connections that help him become a better person AND player. karasuno needed tobio & tobio needed them.
for those of you sad that kageyama and hinata end up on different teams post time skip, i have some good news!!! the japanese national team, which they both end up on, doesn’t just compete at the olympics. the national team competes at an array of different championships, most notably the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which is held every year. so whatever team they decide to go play for around the world, they still come back to play together every summer (and also some other times sprinkled throughout the year).
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.
THEY ARE SO SO SO CUTE!!!!!!!!

hello hiruhoshi nation, non-shaky sachirou and dog for the team.
got back from the theaters not long ago and immediately felt like i had to unload all my feelings about this movie. the manga itself was so beautiful but somehow, the movie just made each and every moment so much more beautiful.
from the silly moments that made me laugh to the heartwrenching ones that made me cry, this movie was full of so much detail and care. you could feel the effort from each scene. i can't believe this movie even exists; it's just that good.
the story of two young girls with a passion for art coming together to create manga. it's a simple concept, but fujimoto's story is one to remember. fujino is used to the "talented artist" role in 4th grade, only for all of that to crumble when she realizes she isn't as talented as she was made out to be. but going to drop off kyomoto's diploma begins an unlikely friendship.
the scene of fujino dancing in the rain and the montage of the two girls drawing together made me feel so happy. these two girls became so close, bonding over their love of drawing manga. not only did they have someone to share their love of art with, but the manga they created led them to success. when kyomoto thanked fujino for getting her out of that house, i could not stop crying at that point of the movie. It captured the youthful essence so perfectly. i felt so much joy watching these two draw their way through the years. it almost made me forget what was coming up next.
the friendship is captured so well, and so is the grief that fujino feels after losing kyomoto. this scene is already heartbreaking, but the voice acting takes it to another level. i was trying to hold it together, but when fujino blamed herself for what happended, i was a wreck. in her eyes, she would have been safe if kyomoto never stepped out that day. watching these moments on screen was so much more painful than reading them. i could not believe how well it was done.
but before i could cry anymore, it cuts to young kyomoto and her life in the alternate world where she meets fujino again. these moments were so comforting. in another world, they were both alive and well and could even come together to draw. i like to imagine that in every possible timeline where these two meet, they will create a friendship founded on their love of art and draw for the rest of their lives.
i genuinely have no words to describe how i felt at this moment. the moments of kyomoto happily reading their manga, the two drawing and laughing together. the reason for going back to drawing manga was because fujino met kyomoto. if it were not for that one day after their 6th grade graduation, fujino would not be where she is now. it doesn't matter in what timeline or universe these two are in; if fujino were to meet kyomoto, they would come together and draw.
this movie brought fujimoto's story to life in the most incredible and heartfelt way, and it was such an experience to watch on screen. even as i write this, i'm tearing up. this story is just so impactful. it's not a happy ending, nor is it a sad one. it's a part of life to love so much, to lose some, and to keep on going. look back is just such a moving piece of work, and i have said it so many times, but this movie truly outdid itself.
i wish i could see this in theaters again. if you love the manga, i highly recommend watching it. it's so beautiful.
the new kagehina official arts have been so adorable and perfect!!! i love how it shows the little things they do together outside of practicing volleyball. not only are they inseparable on the court but also in their daily lives. they’re just so cute!!! i love when shoyo smiles so big and when tobio pouts in the background. it’s so THEM!!!
also this art hinting at the “you can fly higher” scene is so peak and perfect. tobio looking at shoyo so intently while shoyo’s probably rambling about something random. no matter what shoyo is doing, tobio will always look over at him. THIS IS PERFECT 😭😭
i finished impel down!
this arc was very stressful for me, especially with how many powerful antagonists we had this arc. but, there was also a lot of funny moments with bon clay & ivan so i thought it was balanced. seeing how hard luffy fought to save ace was very emotional for me. as well as how ace was worried about luffy being in danger BECAUSE he wanted to save ace. the love these two brothers have for each other is so important and it breaks my heart seeing them upset about the other’s struggles. i’m glad luffy was able to escape impel down. i hope he’s able to see ace and help him before everything gets worse.
