HAIKYUU!! FINAL GUIDEBOOK

COMMENTS/Q&As (KARASUNO)

Furudate's comments (Karasuno):

Hinata: "I'm so glad I didn't make him the strongest protagonist."

Kageyama: "Hard to deal with, because his vivid presence starts fading as he grows. It's like in Dragonball, when it's so fast you can't see."

Daichi: "Please don't die when you save other people."

Sugawara: "Only strong people can always be kind to others."

Asahi: "Once he manages to give some positive affirmation to himself, he's strong."

Nishinoya: "Invincible."

Tanaka: "I wanted to become a senpai like him."

Tsukishima: "At first, I just tried to imagine an unlikable person as I drew him, but you don't usually warm up to people like that, no matter what happens, and it's difficult to catch something beyond that, because it differs for everyone."

Yamaguchi: "Surprisingly enough, he often acts before thinking."

Ennoshita: "He's strict to everyone, and to himself as well."

Kinoshita: "Always keep thinking, If only I tried harder. Probably a perfectionist."

Narita: "He can do some cool stuff on a regular basis (something that the others can't), but he only notices that it's actually cool, when someone tells him."

Kiyoko: "She's quite muscular. It's not only her face that's beautiful, so is her posture."

Yachi: "She's the type of person to readily sacrifice herself, so I hope she's looking after her health."

Keishin Ukai: "If I were to represent myself in the story, I'd go for him."

Takeda: "I'm glad I didn't make him a perfect coach."

Q&A (Karasuno):

Q: Why did you change Hinata's first person pronoun from オレ to 俺 in the Brazil training arc?

A: I thought it'd make him seem more mature.

Q: Kageyama's playing in Italy now, so how did he learn Italian?

A: I don't really think he did. He probably gets by with some gestures, English, and even Japanese, and so he's learning stuff on the go as he talks.

Q: Whose job choice were you troubled with the most?

A: Sawamura. Because I can imagine him with pretty much any job.

Q: Why isn't Kiyoko-san wearing glasses in the V.LEAGUE arc?

A: Just felt like switching to contacts.
