"Back to Normal" (Japanese: (つう) (じょう) (うん) (てん) Tsūjō Unten) is the twelfth chapter of the Haikyū!! series written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate. It was published in the 24th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump's 2012 series.

Overview[]

Kageyama scolds Hinata after the former gets hit in the head by the latter's serve. Later, he and Hinata turn the game around with one of their quicks.

Plot[]

Hinata's serve hits Kageyama straight on the back of his head, resulting in Aoba Johsai winning the set at 25-13. As Kindaichi's words ring through Hinata's mind about how Kageyama will do away with those he finds useless, Kageyama becomes noticeably tense. Even as Daichi attempts to keep Kageyama calm, Sugawara makes an internal plea for Kageyama not to confront Hinata in front of everyone. The silence in the room is soon broken when Tanaka and Tsukishima break out into laughter at what they just witnessed and mock Kageyama for his misfortune.

A petrified Hinata seems to realize the trouble he's in and is soon proven right when Kageyama turns his anger toward him. As he tries to back away from the angry setter, Hinata is quickly startled when Kageyama asks why Hinata is so nervous about playing in the game. Hinata confesses that nothing in particular comes to mind and Kageyama therefore figures that Hinata should not be so nervous and should play normally.

Upset that he let Kindaichi's warning get the better of him, Hinata is startled when Tanaka gets his attention. The second-year wing spiker helps Hinata realize that everyone knows he's clumsy but also that he doesn't have to do the same things as everyone else and not to be so worried about the possibility of being switched out. Daichi watches the interaction and is grateful that Tanaka was able to help get Hinata back on track.

As the second set is getting ready to start, Hinata is teased by Kindaichi and Tsukishima about his serve hitting Kageyama. Ennoshita's serve starts the set as Hinata remembers a plan Kageyama told him earlier. When the ball is returned to Karasuno and Tsukishima makes an off receive, Kindaichi notices this and feels confident of what Karasuno will attempt next but is surprised to see Hinata charging forward. Everyone watches Kageyama provide a quick toss to Hinata, but the play is unsuccessful.

Not sure if the mishap was planned or an accident, Kindaichi takes the chance to warn Hinata that Kageyama is sure to get mad. To Kindaichi and Kunimi's surprise, Kageyama takes the blame for the attack failing and promises to adjust. The game continues and Sugawara notices that Seijoh's serves seemed to be contained despite their reputation of having powerful serves.

As the rally plays out, Kindaichi keeps a close eye on the Karasuno players but is caught off-guard when Hinata and Kageyama pull off their super quick. Karasuno celebrate the successful play and Hinata especially takes joy in their accomplishment as he was able to score the point thanks to his teammates.

Kageyama overhears the Seijoh players talk about the quick attack and hopes that they will continue to be on guard. He then motivates the team to keep up their spirits and press forward.
