One common theme is friendship development. Since they are both characters in the same story, their friendship is often explored in depth, like how they support each other through tough times. Another theme could be the discovery of new feelings. For example, they might start to realize they have more than just friendly feelings for each other.
Typically, bottom Kageyama fanfics often focus on his more vulnerable side. They might show him relying on others more, like his teammates. For example, in some fanfics, he might open up emotionally to Hinata in a way that shows his softer side. His reactions to different situations can also be a big part of it, such as how he copes with stress or pressure in a more emotional way compared to his usual tough exterior in the anime.
There's also 'Kageyama - Hinata: Partners in Growth'. This one focuses on how they grow not only as volleyball players but also as individuals. It explores their insecurities and how they overcome them together. It's a story that shows their deep bond and mutual respect for each other.
In the manga, Hinata doesn't outright beat Kageyama. Their relationship is more about mutual growth and competition rather than one consistently defeating the other. Both characters have their strengths and weaknesses, and the story focuses on their development together on the volleyball court.
Kageyama stays with Karasuno in the manga. His character development and contributions to the team continue without him leaving. The bond he forms with his teammates keeps him committed to the club.
