ハイキュー・Haikyuu! 🏐 Vol. 2

Japanese Language Reading
#38

So I just got to this part (p.103): オープン攻撃:山なりに高く上げたトスを打つオーソドックスな攻撃
And I thought I’d give a bit more of background info:

Summary

What’s happening here is, that their receive wasn’t really good and Kageyama will have to do the toss from an unusual position. Because the ball from the receive won’t come to his usual setting position between 2 and 3. So what you usually do is to play it safe and do a toss which the spikers can still hit relatively easy even if it doesn’t get to them perfectly. Usually you’d set it in a high and long arch to one of the wing spikers (when you’re far enough in the back sometimes also to position 6), so they got enough time to adjust to the toss and probably still have some flexibilty on how they hit the ball over the net.
But with that easier toss it’s also pretty clear to the opposing blockers where they might expect an attack and, due to the long and high toss, have some time to plan where to set their defense.

question when it comes to the sign-up sheet: what’s the difference between the part 1 and part 2 columns?

#40

Honestly, they’re a holdover from when we had more people than manga characters to read for, so we’d split characters into two halves. Now that the cast of each chapter has expanded to where there’s more characters than readers, they don’t really serve a purpose but I just haven’t bothered to remove them.

#41

However, if you did want to read for one of the characters already taken, you could sign up for part 2, and that would mean you’d read that character for the second half of the chapter.

@caraage @BarelyFragile Thank you both!

Different question, to the group or to @rainysunday, I tried to fix the poll but couldn’t figure out how to make it display within the details panel. Do we still want the poll, and does it have to be behind the Hide Details panel?

#43

That’s actually an old poll from before we started Vol 2, everyone who voted to join the read-alouds chose to keep the same time schedule.
So no worries about fixing the poll for now, thanks for checking. For Vol 2, we’re all set. For Vol 3, we may repoll if there’s any request.

Finally added this week’s read-aloud sheet. I spent a while debating whether or not I should split the aoba josai players outside of Kindaichi, but with the length of the character list as it is it seemed unnecessary.

The opposite team coach has some pretty fat dialogue, just warning whoever takes him. He pulls a Daichi in this chapter pretty hard.

So that’s become a fixed expression now. XD

should this be an instance of using the part 1 and 2 split to divide the work?

If you want to! There are no fixed rules for this. Currently, the people who want to read a character sign up for part 1 (if it’s available), and leave part 2 for someone else to sign up for. If no one signs up for part 2, then the person who signed up for part 1 reads the whole thing. Otherwise, they split it, no hard feelings.

I’m a bit late, but if you want to we can split the character between the two of us? I didn’t want to sign up for him because he speaks non-stop & too much, but doing half of it sounds alright! (Obv, if you want to take his whole dialogue feel free to do so ^^)
He talks for 4 pages first, gets interrupted, and then talks again for a few pages, so we can split it during the “intermission”. I’ll take Takeda too since he has a small role!

Splitting it works for me! I’ll take which part hasn’t been signed up for yet (will check after I post this). I’ll take the other bit parts too (aoba players + crowd)

This week is flying by so fast for me, haven’t gotten the chance to read the chapter yet…

#52

No problem. I’m unexpectedly early in reading this week as I was procrastinating on some other stuff. ^^’

Hi pals! It’s the end of Thursday for me, so I figured I’d put up the read-aloud sheet for chp 15.
It’s a heavy Takeda episode in the first half. Busy teacher’s first big speech!
then Oikawa speaks his mind in the second.

I grouped the list more or less by number of lines.

I’m not able to join on the 24th, so I’m glad I could contribute this.

I did it, I freaking did it and bought the first two volumes just to join in(couldn’t resist Haikyuu). Even though I didn’t read the first volume and I have no base whatsoever for this, literally zero grammar and zero experience, I will silently listen you guys read. Hopefully I would learn a few things along the way.
