muse ✨'s manga / #Doujinshi(334)

I found this story here on MangaGo in 2017 and missed the doujinshi tag, so the first time through, I thought it was just a really well-done one shot about two volleyball players, with a surprising amount of world-building blended in pretty seamlessly. Having zero context for the characters or situation, I followed along with no problem. Several months later, I ran across another DJ with these two and said, "...wait. Is there a volleyball anime I don't know about?" A Google search and trip to Crunchyroll later, I had my answer. I've since watched Haikyu!! and it has become my absolute favorite anime series. This DJ was pretty in-character and beautifully drawn. I want to give Suga hugs. I want to give them all hugs.

In which Tobio has a crush and goes to his sempais for advice.

Kageyama forgets about Hinata's birthday.

Realizing his attraction to Hinata, Kageyama avoids contact with him outside of practice, but Hinata won't accept not being friends off the court -- especially when Kagayama is off his game. In an effort to get his reason across and satisfy his own feelings, Kageyama holds him for a few minutes on the premise that Hinata isn't allowed to ask why. But instead of scaring Hinata away, it's the start of a daily ritual he allows to improve Kagayama's performance that only inflames unrequited love. Original comment: I've never seen this show but I've read about these two hooking up like ten times now.

Hinata worries that his relationship with Kageyama is only physical after a run-in with Turnip head. "I love you, dumbass."

Hinata wonders if he'll ever find Kageyama cute & there's a cameo by Iwaoi <3
