I CRIED SO MUCH!! MY LOVES!!! IM SO PROUD OF THEM!! They all fought so hard and were the absolute best!! The way things ended at Nationals was honestly written so well. It made everything so much more impactful. And then, the time skip and just the recap of everything that happened took me out! But most importantly, Yamaguchi was captain!!!!!!! AND THEN SEEING OIKAWA AGAIN AHH!! This was just a whirlwind of emotions for me okay!

Yes, I read volume 42 of Haikyu.

No, I haven't read the other 39 volumes up to this point. (I've only read the first three volumes.)

But buying a book/manga of your all-time favorite anime AND having one the best manga covers ever AND your all-time favorite bookish character look EPIC on the said best manga cover?

Yeah, I'm going to skip ahead of the other volumes and read.

And it was seriously amazing!!

It's sad to see the end of everyone's high school days, but it's also refreshing to see Hinata grown up--I'm so proud of how far he's come as a volleyball player. It was so great to see Oikawa in this volume too, I missed him a lot during the last arc! I can't wait to see what everyone else is doing in the coming chapters. ...more

“Yeah we’re short on experience. Yeah we’re short on preparedness. We’re short on a lot of things. But when you put it all together it’s still all we’ve got.”
Kenma my sweet cinnamon child. Always coming in clutch.
FUCK
Omg I’m crying so much but all their friends are there at the end and they all hugged and congregated.
I wish we see more of Sakusa and his team because I feel like I’d like him and his team.
That’s crazy none of the top three hitters and aces made it to the quarter finals.

Omg I’m crying so much but all their friends are there at the end and they all hugged and congregated.

That’s crazy none of the top three hitters and aces made it to the quarter finals.
Kageyama saying “I wanted to take THIS TEAM further.” I’m crying again.
Oh Daichi and Suga, you guys are so pure.
Without Takeda Sensei they wouldn’t have gotten this far, he had faith in them and he saw how much they worked hard even though no one thought that they were worth anything and no one cared about them. He saw their hard work and their dreams that they wanted to achieve. He was the first person to believe in them and saw their greatness.
I’m going to miss the third years so much and all of them and their antics as a team. I’m so sad that this arc is over but they are meant for great things and hopefully we see that.
~TIME JUMP TO RIO~
Coach Washijo is Hinata’s biggest critic and supporter at the same time. He sees greatness in Hinata and he how much growth and experience he can learn from going to Rio.
Omg aged up/3rd year Hinata and Kageyama are such simp traps.
OIKAWA! MY SON!!!
Hinata and Oikawa’s selfie is so funny and then they sent it to Kageyama LOL
These two are so competitive even though they both suck so much at beach volleyball.
Oikawa this growth I see on you, I’m here for it. I hope I keep seeing you.
I can’t believe Oikawa moved to BRAZIL of all places.
I’m here for this Hinata/Oikawa friendship.
Omg. Oikawa left behind Iwaizumi. MY SHIP.
“It’s that fun that keeps pulling me onward. Volleyball is fun. Every time I forget that it comes back to remind me.” OIKAWA THE GROWTH.
I love that friendship I’m here for it. ...more

Haikyu!!, Vol. 42 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (366–374) of the on-going manga series.

The tankōbon concludes the Quarterfinals of the Spring High National Tournament between Karasuno High and Kamomedai High. With Shōyō Hinata having to set out of the game because of a fever, he has to watch his team valiantly, but ultimately lose the third set and the game with a score of 20|1|25, 25|2|22, and 23|3|25.

The second half of the tankōbon has a tim ...more

Review in Process...

Haikyu!! quickly became one of my top favorite series. I recommend it to everyone. And with every volume, it continues to surprise me, amaze me, and draw me further int0 to the story, and my love for these characters. I have said it before and I will continue to say it; Furudate has written a story that is not about volleyball. It is about character, personal growth, friendship, overcoming obstacle, growth between friends. And volume 42 covers all of these emotions in the ine ...more

As you can probably predict from the ending of the last volume, Shoyo is taken out of the game and the rest of the team does their best to win, however they are ultimately defeated. After the tears and angst and the graduation of the 3rd years; 2 years pass in a flash and all of our babies have grown up~!

BUT! The story isn't over yet as all of our favorite characters move into (semi) adulthood.

This series has 45 volumes. ...more

i’ve been crying for 20 minutes straight. my head and heart hurt. really. i have no words for how these characters make me feel, how much they’ve grown from the start, how they love each other. they’re so special to me and i’m expressing myself so tragically because i still have tears strolling down my cheeks.

based on the number of books left I was convinced they would win and then go on to face Fukurodani. But you’re telling me they never even fight my beloved Bokuto? Holy crap losses are so bitter.
