Crows and Volleyballs

So I've finally made my decision after my hiatus break. I've thought long and hard about the decision I have made towards this blog and it's time to finally say farewell.

This blog will not be deleted, however all pixiv comics and translations will be kept for reading purposes. I will cease continue translating pixiv comics or doujins now in the future since it's a personal decision that I have decided to do. I have enjoyed these past two years with everyone and I do appreciate all the support given. 

I have decided to move on to better things in my life. I hope many of you respect my decision towards this matter. 

Thank you very much.

Hello there! I’m on hiatus but I do check messages from time to time, so thank you for dropping by.

Someone has compiled a nice pixiv tag list already on tumblr by the user bayreef. You can view the list here: *

The tags are broken down by characters, pairings, and schools consecutively. I hope this helps!

Also as a side note from my experience of using pixiv, you can search the Haikyuu tag overall based on majority of favorites. I know it’s difficult since premium gives you what you’re looking for in what convenient search but this is another way to find popular pieces as well.  

So instead of inputting ハイキュー!! as a tag search on pixiv you can look for popular pieces by adding 入り at the end.

EX: ハイキュー!!100users入り give you 100+ popular art pieces or comic slips. 

It’s not limited to 100 either. Numbering system goes as follows: [100], [500], [1,000], & [2,000]. The highest number is the most popular piece you can find on pixiv especially in the haikyuu pixiv tags. So just change 100 to any of the other higher numbers to find more popular comics.

Inputting into pixiv search box with ~入り:

1.) ハイキュー!!100users入り

2.) ハイキュー!!500users入り

3.) ハイキュー!!1000users入り

4.) ハイキュー!!2000users入り

100 is more current comics that are being favored while 1,000 and up gives you older comics that have been in the haikyuu tag for almost a year now to the beginning of when the Japanese fans began to embark on the Haikyuu love. 

It’s given me a sense of nostalgia browsing the Haikyuu pixiv pieces a year ago because before it’s popularity hit with its anime debut, there was a boom within the Japanese fandom. It was so great and I even remember clearly the first beginning fan pieces beginning to be submitted because it was so small then. Haha. I’m happy the fandom is so huge now.

I've given it thought and I've come to my final conclusion. The blog will be placed under hiatus for the time being until I come back to resume comics and of course translation work. This is my own personal decision that has brought me here today. 

I really wanted to thank all of you that has been with me from the beginning to the new followers that have enjoyed my more notable Haikyuu works. I've grown so much in just merely one year and every moment and experience was absolutely worthwhile. I still have growing to do and of course my Japanese studies to work even more harder on. It's been a journey making it this far and I'm proud to say that all the memories made will always be with me.

Thank you again and see ya~

Hello everyone! 

So translations have been slow, but there is a reason for this. I have opened up a new doujin network blog. A few series included are: Psycho-Pass, Haikyuu!!, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Yowamushi Pedal, and Kuroko no Basket.

I wanted to personally thank all of you for all the messages and support in my inbox these last couple of weeks. As I've posted earlier, all my doujins have been moved. But look no further, I have a created a new separate blog for all of you to download and read.

It's a small gift to everyone who's enjoyed all my comic translations. It's where all my past doujins will be collected as well as new translations for newer doujins. I've been preparing this blog and it's finally ready for viewing. 

As a bonus, with "My Little Giant" back up, a new doujin is ready to read as well called, "Thank You At The End of Today" which is a DaiSuga Doujin which is newly translated.

Again thank you, thank you, and again thank you to everyone. All my hard work has paid off. 

Here is the new doujin blog: aseizui

Enjoy and happy reading~

So I did the shipping meme that tooruoikawass created and it was a lot of fun actually! Haha revealing all my otp's, secret broships, and my aww ship categories. It really tested how much otp's and cracks I had to separate out.

As my major OTP's go: KuroKen, OiIwa, TsukiYama, UkeTake, DaiSuga, BokuAkaa

Broships: Tanaka & Hinata, Hinata & Kenma, Tanaka & Nishinoya, Bokuto & Hinata, Kuroo & Lev, Hinata & Nishinoya, & (Haha listed these two by accident) Hinata & Yachi <-- I think they're pretty chill together. XD

Awwships (More like my angsty category): KageSuga, HinaKen, SugaHina, TsukiHina, AsaSuga, KuniKindai, Daichi & Michimiya

LikeShips: TsukiKage, AsaDai, Kiyoko & Yachi

Okships: TanaSuga, Oikawa & Hina

Hello there!

What an interesting question! I’m really happy you asked it!

I actually have a couple favorite comics I really love and adore as well as comics that have moved me to pieces.

I’ll categorize them into separate groups as follows:

KageHina: Orion & Two Guys

This was actually one of my first comics that was a long strip to work on. I really liked the whole concept behind the starry night motif and it had a peaceful tone to it overall. I think for this comic it really set Kageyama’s & Hinata’s friend relationship to the next level. It was also beautifully done as well.

The Star Gazing Boy

This is from Hinata’s POV and it’s a really moving doujin. It’s a preview itself but this was translated a year ago. The whole ordeal with Hinata looking back into the past from his middle school days and seeing what path lead him to where he could be. It was really deep and Hinata’s growth as a person really moved him forward towards new things. This comic in particular captured what he persevered in the past. It still strikes me even to this day as one of those comics that have moved me due to it’s uniqueness.

KuroKen Log

This one in particular for all the KuroKen’s is the creativity I have with the typeset of the translation. I really wanted the same font style to be copied as close to the original piece of the log and it was a lot of fun being creative. One of my more fun pieces. I also liked it’s end product.

Kid Compilation:

Meeting a Friend for the First Time

Suga-san and the First Years “Small” Comic

Kiddy Time!

HQ Kindergarten?

These comics were children based with either the HQ characters as small children and/or teachers. I love comics like these and I completely died in the inside with how cute they were all. Translations too here were a lot of fun since I had to interpret how a five year old would respond. I love baby talks~ Plus these comics gave a lot of cute sparks of more characters for everyone. The newest one, “Meeting a Friend for the First Time” is so adorable and cute. HinaKen was really prevalent and I had to take time from working on the comic to not LEGIT die from how cute they were interacting with each other.

HAIKYUU!! Jump Next 2014 Bonus poster

I was looking though my Jumps and discovered a pull out poster from May's issue. This was where chapter 109 in HQ with Tsukki's new glasses. I thought it'd be nice to share the scanned poster. It's double sided too which was a neat bonus! Really cool concept art from Furudate Haruichi with the Haikyuu fighter!

Bonus panel below with Nishinoya Yuu, peeping dorks Oikawa Tooru & Kuroo Tetsuro, Akaashi Keiji, & Yasushi Kamasaki.

Oh my goodness... Everyone is making me blush~ I'm so happy, I really am. All of you are giving me diabetes. HQ & follower love. Who would have thought?

Thank you very much for the support!

Yes indeed I do! IDLINGATTACKER is doujin selling group that only distributes Haikyuu only doujins. It also hosts several events from and by pixiv artists to help sell their art at several doujinshi specified areas.

They sell r-18 doujins as well so you might have been seeing them pop up around pixiv when you asked this specifically. Most of the works under this group are mostly previews on pixiv in order to draw in more interest. It's usually also labeled on Pixiv as IA.

Reading from the site itself, there will several events in Japan which include in the cities of Tokyo and Osaka. I know for a fact Tokyo has an event on the 20th of July for IDLINGATTACKER.
