Redoing my masterthread since I post on mobile a lot and i can't trim. I will keep things as spoiler free as possible! Thoughts under the cut :)

Vol 1-3 thoughts:

-one page in and i'm tearing up already the impact this series has fr

-NOYA MY BELOVED!!!!!!

-Alright reading on pause I can’t do the first nekoma practice match right now I’m gonna burst into tears at work

Okay I lied so two things:

1) Karasuno second and third years. These early chapters still hit man the emotions and the everything. That is all.

2) [deep, deep inhale] KUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I FORGOT ONE OF MY FAVE PANELS OF HINATA :
