Just remembered Seijo is actually pretty strong. like if Shiratorizawa isn't just in the next prefecture, they'd have gone to Nationals at least before Karasuno had their came back. And one thing I really despise is how people would always bring up the fact that Tooru didn't go to Nationals, like so what??? But it's actually so nice watching their match with schools that aren't so... important to the plot? One thing I love about Furudate is his attention to detail, as far as the side characters' characteristics. They're obviously background characters, but he took his time to write them. Amazing
