Haikyuu!!, doujinshi shopping, etc.

[wednesday_10_00]

Before I talk at great length about Haikyuu, I want to talk about deputy shopping services. I have been using Noppin for years (since they were Crescent, even) and have been happy with them. At the end of December, however, just as I was getting ready to place a bunch of bids on Winter Comiket doujinshi, Noppin closed for a week for the holiday and

We discussed the series briefly during the weekend visit, and mangaroo urged me to post my comments here

WHOA! I mean, I learned never to play guessing-games with you by starting my guess with "It couldn't be...," but I got your second-fave as my second guess, too! (I'm totally counting my Nishinoya guess. :-p) I'm genuinely shocked, because I am so bad at Other People. (Though Suga is that awesome, so naturally, if Hinata is out of the running...)

I'm glad you see the AsaNoya. (Someday, I'm going to portmanteau a pairing and it will be an offensive Japanese word.)

Thank you so much for sharing here. I thought your perspective (so strong through the lenses of these other series) was really interesting. And thank you for watching the whole series, even though you couldn't really lose yourself in it. That discovery really surprised me.

Oh, that's so sad that Naruto wrecked the series for you. Especially since I can't imagine Haikyuu ever going in that direction. I'm glad you watched, though, so hopefully you won't be totally lost this summer (because I'm finding it increasingly unlikely that mangaroo and I will talk about anything other than Haikyuu for more than 30 minutes at a time).

Noya and Suga are both awesome. The great thing about the series is that there are so many great characters, even outside the main team.

Do you think you'll be interested in any doujinshi? (There's going to be a lot of doujinshi shopping on this trip. A LOT.)

Do you think you'll be interested in any doujinshi?

That depends...mainly on how pretty it is. (It's about the same as my Tiger & Bunny purchasing history.) I won't specifically seek it out, but if I happen to see a good one on display, I might pick it up.
