it's things like this w furudate's storytelling of the MCs dynamic that's delightful. kageyama's face tends to be obscured following major events w hinata e.g. stellar receives showing his growth at defence. thus, these are moments of the gap narrowing between them in vball +
the way we didn't get an instant kageyama reaction when hinata did his sexy pro receive in 398 BUT THE NEXT TIME WE DO SEE KAGEYAMA IN FOCUS (399); he has his head raised up, eyes covered and a small smile (?) on his face. again his expression is mostly hidden but

these panels side by side evoke something so glorious. kagehina sexy and furudate said don't y'all forget it ?
I MISSED THESE KINGS ?? ALSO WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE KAGEYAMA IS POINTING TOWARDS HINATA WITH THE WAY THESE THESE PICS ARE POSITIONED LMAO ?
haikyuu ain't a BL but it's prototype kghn first meeting sure gives off that vibe huh
so that kageyama and hinata huh *breaksdown*
hq 365 & 370 scenes in which we never see kageyama's & hinata's expressions, is when they're staring at each other, during important moments that involve the other. there's this hidden vulnerability about both panels. in a way, by keeping it hidden, furudate already tells us sm-

well glad one of my favourite ever mini panels was animated, gremlin sugahina headlock!! ??
387 anniversary also means happy kageyama miwa reveal anniversary!! a year ago another interesting & loveable woman was introduced to haikyuu. she showed us that one could love volleyball deeply but still pursue other things. a character who strongly follows her desires ???
kageyama tobio, sexy setter of Ali Roma, is not a virgin. why? because:
having fun uncovering kageyama tobio's rival-esque lines @ hinata shouyou 😌
