Step onto the court with the perfect Haikyu!! schedule
Haruichi Furudate’s manga series is brought to life with bold colours and high-intensity volleyball showdowns.
Hinata Shoyo has big dreams, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the world’s premier volleyball player: The Little Giant. It’s by far an easy trek to the top as we see our pivotal protagonist face defeat numerous times but never once allow his spirit to break.
His biggest opponent on the field is the talented Kageyama Tobio in middle school, whose main focus is to crush anyone that dare challenge him to a match.
The story follows the revival of Karasuno High and the unity they maintain to pave their way for nationals. It’s in every way a classic shonen sports anime with its colourful characters, dramatic cliffhangers and fully fleshed-out world.
