miss shimizu may not be the most fleshed out and developed haikyuu character, but she truly has a heart of gold to match perfectly with her amazing beauty. she genuinely cares so much for the team, being so dedicated to her job as manager even though she doesn't play volleyball +

herself, always doing her best to support the team in the best way she can. she is not just a cold-mannered pretty girl, she has a warm and caring personality only showed to those who are lucky enough to truly know her. kiyoko loves her position as manager, even as she has to +

deal with rowdy boys constantly (cough cough tananoya) and did not hesitate to stick with the club even when given the option to quit the club and focus on her studies and future. she immediately went on search for a new manager to take under her wing, and became such a great +

role model and friend to yachi. yachi looks up to kiyoko as a cool, confident, and capable senior, but in turn, yachi became the first person kiyoko found herself able to open up to a bit. miss shimizu may not look it, but she is a little lonely, and yachi was able to fill that +

hole in her life as they became closer. their friendship is truly beautiful and shows kiyoko's soft side as opposed to her usual collected demeanor. she genuinely loves yachi just as much as yachi looks up to her, and has mentored yachi well to become the next manager of the +

team. kiyoko has shown numerous times just how much she loves and cares for the boys on the team, with little things such as bringing out the old banner to cheer them on and holding sugawara's hands when he was cold and praying with her fellow third years on new years' day for +

good luck at nationals (although, she had full faith in them that they wouldn't need luck to win) and readily volunteering to dash back to get hinata's shoes when he left them behind... kiyoko loves the club so much. she may not be the most openly affectionate person around, but+

she very clearly has the volleyball club in a special place in her heart. as a former athlete herself who was forced to quit after sustaining a serious injury, being able to be part of a team once again, despite not directly participating in the game, must mean so much to her. +

i've seen people call her cold hearted and emotionless because of the way she outright rejects male attention (and she isn't obligated to respond to their affection... so why is this argument even an excuse to call her these things??) and flat as a character. and true, kiyoko +

isn't the most complex character that we see in the series. but she is far more than just karasuno's beautiful manager. she is just as strong, kind, and determined as the members of the club she loves so much. appreciate miss kiyoko shimizu. she deserves every bit of praise!

i'm sorry for this random thread omfg i just really wanted to go on a rant about kiyoko. it's also quite late at night so i'm sorry if this didn't make sense ahhhh.

in conclusion, stan kiyoko shimizu
