this page is dedicated to yahaba shigeru! the light of my life and a character from haikyuu who makes me extremely happy!

i started to like yahaba in july 15 2015 where i first started to read the manga actually! of course though i started the anime first and liked him when i first saw him, but my huge addiction with him started when i read the manga and saw him in the same scene as the anime i saw him did and then later his character reference and thought to myself, "hey! this guy's cute and really cool! why dont more people love him?" answer was: he was a background character no one cared about

of course though! things get better and we start to see more of him in actual canon, we get to see more of his personality and thoughts as well, and god let me say i love him so much! i was so glad that he got more character imput into him instead of just being "oikawa's backup" you could say and im so glad to love a character a lot as i love him because let me tell you he isnt just a "pinch server" or just a "setter" yahaba shigeru is outstanding! he made it to seijou, a powerhouse! if that isnt amazing enough itself really, he's also the next captain as well and was the one to tame the "mad dog" or kyoutani kentarou

if that wasnt enough we also got to see him later on, rooting for karasuno for the nationals! it shows him along with everyone in the team and of course this shows him in the center as well, he seems to be the one encouraging them most though and stating something from his ref before it says that talks about his current concern being that filling in for oikawa's shoes is tough but i feel as though it might be a sign as him being captain and of course showing as how watari is a libero and kyoutani never going to practice much makes him an obvious choice for captain, i would feel incredibly proud of him because thata my bou! my boy's captain and filling in for oikawa's place!

going back to why i love him... it's really because how he's this snarky asshole yet very respectful and kind to his seniors, but there are sme times where he's actually nice to those he's mean too and recognizing their skill (kyoutani and karasuno), although he may not be as good as oikawa he's a pretty amazing setter himself in some ways even if he does make mistakes, not everyone's perfect and we all have flaws.
i also love him for his beautiful, calming voice, and honestly it very much suits him (english dub did him very dirty...was very disappointed)
and also for his looks as well! if you look at his hair you can obviously see that he puts a lot of effort into it! and also in manga it's grey while in anime its brown! maybe hes like some kind of arctic fox or rabbit or so?
thanks for reading now! i love yahaba shigeru so much and it honestly pains me when people say they love him more or love him for a certain scene in season two sadly without realizing his importance
ive been in love with him for 3/4 years and ill continue to love him for many more
