Haikyuu!! Siblings [ 54 / ? ]

↳ Echigo Sakae: one older sister, one younger brother

They just want him to goof off every once in a while! Is that too much to ask? It might be too much to ask… 🦘🌀

I’ve wrestled with the Echigo family for far too long, I simply need to post and be done them 🫠

Being Tsubakihara’s Manager

Tsubakihara x GN! Manager

Warnings: pure fluff

AN: sorry it’s been a while since I posted BUT 👀 I still have a dream to write at least 1 set of HC’s per team because I know each one of these bbys has a fan somewhere. It’s me, I am the fan.

You can’t tell me these aren’t some seriously blushie boys

They will simply perish the moment they find out they have a manager

Literally, they could have no clue who you are but once they find out, watch out

Instant protection squad!

They have like six second years so never fear Yn, you are secure

Coach Osado is actually the one who recruited you

He knew you were a good student and capable of managing a team

When he asked if you still needed a club and you responded “yes”, the deal was sealed 🤝🏻

The first person he’s gonna inform is our amazing third year setter, Echigo

That poor boy is exhausted

Literally carrying the teams moral on his back 😅

Needless to say, he’s stoked about having a manager!

However, Coach Osado and Echigo decide not to inform the rest of the team of you

Because there’s nothing better than a good surprise right?

Right : D

So on your first day, you walk into the gym and the boys are already warming up

They stop and look towards you 👀

Freaking so noisy istg-

They watch as your beauty lights up the space, and they all just stare at you

Literally 👁️👄👁️

Someone better make sure to get a mop because there is drool everywhere!

You smile at them and wave, walking over to Coach as Echigo stands and walks towards you both

Teradomari is super confused 🤨 and looks to his friend for answers

Too bad his friend is Maruyama, who is probably definitely simp #1 on Team YN

“Dude don’t stare at them! We don’t even know who they are!” Tera gritted out as Maru snapped from his thoughts

Literally just these goons all ogling you

Hope you don’t have social anxiety Yn 😅

All the second years, Tsukioka, Mikawa, Iwamuro, Atema, Maiko and Kaikake are silently thanking whomever sent you walking into the volleyball gym

Our precious Angel, Himekawa is just staring at you, face blush red as he watches you laugh at something Echigo says

Suddenly Echigo and you approach the team, a huge smile plastered on your face

“Guys this is Yn, our new manager,” he spoke as suddenly the gym went dead silent

Before ultimately erupting into chaos

“Our manager- as in our teams manager?!?” Maru shouts, standing up before running at you and Echigo for a group hug

“As in the collective groups manager?” Tera added

“Like YN’s gonna be at all the practices manager?” Maiko interjects

Echigo 👉🏻😐🙄 yes

“Wait wait- like YN’s gonna travel on a bus with us to tournaments and stuff?” Tsukioka promoted

You this whole time 👉🏻😅

Coach Osado 👉🏻 rethinking this entire decision

“YES- yes YN is our manager!” Echigo finally said, moving his hands in a circle to indicated that he was including everyone

“I’m really happy to be joining you! Thank you for this opportunity!” You smile as the boys instantly die on the spot from how adorable you are

“I think I’m gonna faint!” Maru shouted as you quickly ran over to him

“Do you need water or something?” You said, concerned as his eyes widened and locked with yours

Thankfully Tera became conscious during this process and quickly intervened

“Umm I think he’s ok Yn, here I’ll show you around,” he said, grabbing your arm as you waved to the boys and began about your first day as the teams manager

Now I wish I could say they chilled out, but they in fact, did not 😬

Sure they didn’t almost pass out every time they see you but man did they adore you

They all clamored to help you in anyway they can

There is no way coach has any issues getting these boys to practice

“YN come help me with spikes!” Mary shouts

You 👉🏻 ok 🥰

“No YN I need you to help me with my cross court shots!” Teru interrupts

You 👉🏻 sure 😃

“YN is going to be too busy helping me with serving!” Tsukioka interjects

You 👉🏻 okey dokey 😅

“I need the most help Yn!” Kaikake whines

You 👉🏻 on it 🫠

Good thing Echigo is there to straighten everything out

“Whoa whoa ok that’s enough fighting over Yn! You guys should learn how to practice on your own!”

You 👉🏻*instant relief* 😌

“Besides Yn is going to be too busy helping me with setting to help any of you,” Echigo adds 🙃

“YOU ALWAYS HOG YN!” Maru shouts as Tera and the entire team join in

You 👉🏻 🧍😀

Despite all their fighting, they do agree on one thing

And that’s protect Yn at all costs!

Seriously you probably have better security detail than most politicians YN

Especially at tournaments

Because these boys aren’t only nervous about the game

But now they have to worry about protecting their innocent Yn from boys 😱

At the qualifiers for nationals, these boys are already on edge

You’ve tried to calm them down by giving them words of encouragement by man are they tense

Coach suggests that maybe it would be beneficial for them to eat something to calm their nerves which you agree

But oops- it looks like you forgot the bentos on the bus

Darn it 😏

Oh well, nothing a short brisk walk won’t fix

Only they boys don’t know you have left them because they are too nervous to even function

And while you are on your adventure, there’s a few players who have been paying extra attention to you

High school hormones 🙄

So when they finally see that you’ve escape the guard and are now alone, they decide to pounce

“Hey there! I didn’t know Tsubakihara had such a pretty manager!” On of the boys said

You just blush and continue to walk, knowing you need to feed your boys

“Man I wish we had a cutie like you on our team,” another one of them says as to you

You continue to ignore them because you have a goal!

Back in the gym, it’s Himekawa who first notices your absence

He’s so nervous that his nervous are almost working for him and making him way more vigilant

He looks around confused before Atema finally says something

“What’s up dude?”

“Umm where did Yn go?” Himekawa asks as suddenly everyone looks up

It’s like the nerves just melt away as they all suddenly start to panic

“Omg YN’s lost! We lost our manager!” Maru shouts

“YN was just here a few minutes ago calm down!” Echigo says as coach interrupts

“I sent YN to get some bentos to calm you boys down,” he says as the boys eyes widen

“Like alone?!?” Teru questions

“There’s so many boys here! We have to find YN!” Iwamuro yells as the boys take off in search of you

By this time, you’ve made it to the bus and the now super annoying boys are still following you 🙄

Like please take a hint we have a job to do ok!

Just as you are about to say something, the doors slam open and your entire team comes running out

Literally it’s like that scene where Ukai runs to save Takeda from Inarizaki’s coach

👇🏻

“LEAVE OUR YN ALONE!” Maru shouts as the boys and you just stare

The boys 👉🏻😐

You 👉🏻🙄

They block you from the other boys as they puff out their chests and assert their dominance

“YN are these hooligans causing you issues?” Tera asks as you stare at him

“I’m fine,” you say

“Why are you bothering OUR manager?” Maiko questions

You 👉🏻 really I’m ok 😅

“We were just making sure nobody hurt them. They were walking all by themselves,” one of the annoying boys said

Oof- that really hit a nerve

“We knew right where Yn was the entire time!” Maru shouted

The team 👉🏻 🤨 we did?

“Yeah we trust Yn to do things on their own!” Atema added

The team 👉🏻 we do?

“So why did you come running-” you started before being interrupted

“Well would you look at the time! Sorry we have to go warm up now!” Tera shouted, pushing you away as the other boys grabbed the lunch boxes and you headed back inside

Once inside the boys deflated, feeling relieved that they had found you safe

“You know, those guys are who we play first,” you smirked 😏

The team 👉🏻🔥👄🔥

Oh it’s on now!

Captain Squad Headcanons

Warning: LONG post.

They all hang out on Skype the most because y'know...different prefectures lol.

The Miyagi captains see each other a lot tho!

The current second-year captains especially exchange advice a lot since they're newest to it.

Shibuya (Tokonami Captain; I'm just guessing here): Guys I think I accidentally started a disagreement between the first-years and I feel really bad about it, what do I do?

Futakuchi (Date Tech Captain): Look, I start 90% of the fights on my team so...

Towada (Ougiminami Captain): Our team just settles it in a death match.

Terushima (Johzenji Captain): We don't really fight per say, the gym just accidentally gets set on fire on occasion.

Komaki (Kakugawa Captain): Why do I feel like I'm the only one who actually has it semi-together?

Fr tho all the captains envy Komaki so much because his team is literally the only decently-sane one among them.

Like the biggest problem he has to deal with other than teens being teens is Asamushi getting too fired up sometimes and Hyakuzawa accidentally hitting his head on doorways.

As for dynamics among them...

There is a mutual agreement to keep Kuroo and Daishou separated at all times because the power of petty exes is too much for them (Iizuna is in charge of making sure they're at least 6 feet apart when possible).

The ONLY time those two have ever agreed on something was when some asshole started insulting their first-years.

The guy still gets nightmares about it.

Oikawa and Ushijima are also kept apart most times, though Oikawa's getting better at understanding him while Ushijima is starting to get why Oikawa feels the way he does.

They like to bitch about their fellow year-mates too.

Daichi complains about Suga's chaoticness and Asahi's timidness.

Kuroo complains about Yaku at any opportunity (though rarely Kai).

Oikawa loudly whines about the "disrespect" he endures from all the third-years (barring Yuda, the one who was crying with pride for all of them).

Daishou is fed up with how unhelpful his third-years are when it comes to any life advice (he doesn't have it together, but nobody else does either, sooo).

Bokuto likes to join Oikawa in his protest against "cruelty against captains"; the one he complains most about is Konoha, but the rest of them are still talked about very frequently.

Nakashima always follows up his complaints with something positive about them. Daichi is both jealous and in awe of this (little does he know it's a technique developed to stop Takeru from decking his siblings sometimes).

Ushijima doesn't like to complain about his teammates much bc he doesn't really see the point when you could just tell them they're being annoying dicks.

Iizuna's complaints usually aren't too bad and far between, but on days when Itachiyama loses practice matches due to the team's attitude...whoo boy.

Suwa is like...so calm? And his complaints are always so minor? And always with a completely patient expression? And the captains are so confused in the beginning because their only prior personal experience with Kamomedai is the few Hoshiumi interviews people manage to get and that kid sure as hell isn't this calm.

And then one day Nozawa is making provocations worthy of Futakuchi and he comes in complaining and everyone's just like there it is.

Echigo's pretty chill too, since Tsubakihara isn't a particularly rambunctious team, but some days Teradomari gets completely slandered for the dumbass moves he pulls during practice on occasion (he's trying to show off to the underclassmen; spoilers, it's not working, but Himekawa politely claps for him at least).

Kiryuu always feels really bad about venting even when it's clear he needs to (he was the one who put in the "no insulting the second or first years" rule since he felt it was unfair to the underclassmen), but he's getting better.

Him and Oikawa trade mental health tips sometimes.

The previous captains like to drop in sometimes.

It's canonical that the Date Tech third-years can't leave their underclassmen alone, so they show up most often.

The two Komakis confuse everyone to no end.

Ikejiri and Komaki H (Tokonami's old captain) show up the most for their team.

Ikejiri is delighted to catch up with Daichi (they start having monthly catch-up sessions with Yui too at one point).

Okudake and Akimiya drop by sometimes to make sure their second-years haven't convinced anyone to commit major arson or join a gang.

Moniwa, Okudake and Akimiya are highly respected by everyone for dealing with the hazardous sassy disasters known as the Date Tech, Johzenji and Ougiminami second-years.

KOKIA in flashback - 2008

We have made it to 2008, the year of KOKIA's 10th anniversary!

She also returns to Europe, this time performing not only in Paris, but also Brussels, Belgium. She draws 1,800 people to her performances in France, expanding her scope there.

At the end of the year, she travels to the United States for her Music Gift project, where she hands out 10,000 copies of the single Music Gift by herself dressed as Santa in New York City, in memoriam of the 9/11 attacks.

[animegadaisukiidesu]

[haikyuu-is-madness]

The first opponent at Nationals: Tsubakihara

[insomniamagic]

Happy birthday, Sakae Echigo (9.10.2018 - Haikyuu! Tsubakihara). Be the best in everything you desire to!

[cestcirque]

Furudate-sensei’s little one-liners / Q&As from the final Haikyuu guidebook! Of course I must collect them all! LET’S GO!!! 😤

*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!

All single character comments from different teams!

Daishou Suguru: A serious and hardworking person. If he could learn to be a bit more lazy, I have a feeling it would be good for him. But he’s also good just the way he is. [oh wow oh thank you wow hang on, I’m— 😭💚]

Terushima Yuuji: Clever, with a warm / compassionate heart. [thank you sensei, part 2 🥺]

Hyakuzawa Yuudai: Up until junior high, he was in baseball club. He has some high spacial awareness.

Nakashima Takeru: When he’s angry he’s the type to say, “I don’t even care anymore! Have it your way!” but then sneakily keep tabs on the situation.

Chigaya Eikichi: He can tide himself over many various situations with his friendliness alone.

Echigo Sakae: Mr. Philosophical. [!!!!! 💙]

Amanai Kanoka: She may look delicate / fragile at first glance, but she’s the type who can reset by eating well and sleeping well.

Ikejiri Hayato: This guy really wasn’t putting enough effort into volleyball, but I didn’t want him to just be an empty character in the manga.

Towada Yoshiki: Akki-kun [captain of Ohgiminami] told Towada everything that I myself wanted to tell him.

Nicolas Romero: A warrior who has experienced many battles.

[kimbapisnotsushi]

so i only suggested it as a joke but like. here's the fucking list of token cishet haikyuu characters per team i guess let's go!!

(also i am SO sorry i know this is way past fifteen minutes)

karasuno: oh dear oh fuck. okay look i love daisuga and kurodai as much as the next person but solid reliable daichi?? daichi who is like the epitome of big man on campus?? who at first glance looks like he doesn't even know what there is beyond gay?? and yeah he doesn't really understand sometimes, but all he knows is that he loves his team and he wants them to be happy!! so he does his best!!

nekoma: y'all already know but. lev LMFAAO. like it truly can't be anyone else he's sixteen, he's got no shame, he's got a cool older sister who teaches him that, no, the pad does NOT stick to the body and yes you need a top coat to have good nails . . . lev is just so honest and straightforward and simple-minded in the BEST way possible i love him

seijoh: kindaichi for very very similar reasons to daichi but like. on the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum. like. he's a bit of an asshole! he gives off classic american high school bigoted jock vibes!! he looks like he'd shove your head down the toilet and trip you in the hallway! but he's actually quite kind and thoughtful and even tho he's never been in a fight in his LIFE he WOULD get into one for seijoh!!

fukurodani: komi haruki!! komi haruki!! komi fuckin haruki!!! like whatever people say about bokuto being the only himbo on fukurodani is SO fucking untrue komi haruki has the muscle to just straight up DECK anyone being an absolute asshole and will take you out for coffee after!!

shiratorizawa: not that i intend on making a pattern with the liberos but like. i do indeed think it would be yamagata LMFAAAO. because like, if we do process of elimination . . . it's NOT goshiki, it's NOT shirabu or kawanishi, it's NOT ushijima, tendou, semi, or reon . . . yamagata takes it!!

dateko: fukiage jingo. he's long-suffering bc he has to deal with kogasaku being absolute idiots about whatever it is they have going on but those are his friends and he loves them very much!!

johzenji: higashi. he's still more respectful than terushima and bobata ever were.

kakugawa: minamida. he always knows what to say and he learns REALLY easily.

nohebi: numai. he's good i can tell.

inarizaki: wouldn't you know it!! it's the libero again!! akagi michinari coming in hot with the "shut your mouth or i'll do it for you!!" and he's smiling like a total angel while he says it!!

itachiyama: iizuna. sakusa and komori rely on him for more than they intend to, but he doesn't mind.

mujinazaki: ezo. he's soooo fuckin tired man. he loves the team and he'll do anything for them, ESPECIALLY against an asshole, but dear god do they drive him nuts

kamomedai: suwa. i trust that man with my LIFE.

tsubakihara: echigo!! another one where the captain takes it. king's already got a gf too i just know he treats her right!!

[koutawoo]

a thank you illustration from furudate-sensei to everyone who has supported the series!

greetings from the team captains!!

thank you for your support!!

hinata: the pressure is intense Σ(･口･)

[miiracleboys]

shut up. low-quality tsubakihara.
