Hello! I was wondering how pixiv users tag character pairings for their art, since I wanted to find a particular Kagehina and Tsukiyama art, but I don't know how to search for it.
Hello there! I’m on hiatus but I do check messages from time to time, so thank you for dropping by.
Someone has compiled a nice pixiv tag list already on tumblr by the user bayreef. You can view the list here: *
The tags are broken down by characters, pairings, and schools consecutively. I hope this helps!
Also as a side note from my experience of using pixiv, you can search the Haikyuu tag overall based on majority of favorites. I know it’s difficult since premium gives you what you’re looking for in what convenient search but this is another way to find popular pieces as well.
So instead of inputting ハイキュー!! as a tag search on pixiv you can look for popular pieces by adding 入り at the end.
EX: ハイキュー!!100users入り give you 100+ popular art pieces or comic slips.
It’s not limited to 100 either. Numbering system goes as follows: [100], [500], [1,000], & [2,000]. The highest number is the most popular piece you can find on pixiv especially in the haikyuu pixiv tags. So just change 100 to any of the other higher numbers to find more popular comics.
Inputting into pixiv search box with ~入り:
100 is more current comics that are being favored while 1,000 and up gives you older comics that have been in the haikyuu tag for almost a year now to the beginning of when the Japanese fans began to embark on the Haikyuu love.
It’s given me a sense of nostalgia browsing the Haikyuu pixiv pieces a year ago because before it’s popularity hit with its anime debut, there was a boom within the Japanese fandom. It was so great and I even remember clearly the first beginning fan pieces beginning to be submitted because it was so small then. Haha. I’m happy the fandom is so huge now.
I hope this helps! Again thanks to those giving me lovely messages in my inbox. I’m brimming with happiness and one day I will return.
