6. kageyama will fly off to america a month after hinata flies to brazil apparently (btw all this info is coming from yamaguchi) and upon hearing that yachi goes "so hinata will be in south america, while kageyama will be in north america..?"

[ln 12 spoiler]
ok small elaboration on 9 and 10 because i feel bad: she shows up with her mother to see hinata off at the bus station. there is a hilarious sibling interaction. then, natsu asks, "nii-chan, where's tobio?"

11. coach ukai and takeda-sensei arrive to see hinata off. there are some (important?) callbacks to his previous speeches. he gives a new speech (ish) aimed at hinata.

okay that's about it for chapter 1

small clarification on who wears jackasuke: i'm so sorry, i got too excited and made it seem like it was who wears jackasuke at regular games! it isn't!
the specific sketch is about who wore jackasuke at the msby black jackal fan appreciation day! now you may take your guesses

another small clarification: i might regret saying "real hinayachi stuff" when things get translated and everyone reads it for themselves, but i'd just like to say that the entirety of chapter 1 is written from yachi's point of view, and it revolves around how she sees hinata!
one more small clarification (says this into eternity): they're not sending hinata off at the airport. he's at a bus terminal and it's dark out, so it's possibly evening/night. he's about to take a overnight bus from miyagi to narita airport, meaning he'll be at the airport alone
quiet addendum:
there is a COLOURED NISHINOYA SPREAD on the back of the kita coloured spread, tell a friend, save a life
(if everyone knew abt this alr pls forgive me bc i didn't)

notes for noya spread:
- the numbers 819 can be read in japanese like this "ha(chi)-i(chi)-kyuu" --> "haikyuu"
- there's a note at the bottom that says "this poster is a work of fiction. we are not actually looking for participants. please understand." lol

i am a broken record but again this is all just one big plea for you to buy a copy for yourself so that you may gaze at noya standing at the head of a boat with neon green sports sunglasses propped on his head as he spears a blue marlin with his trident with your own! eyes!
