Haikyu!!

Creation and Development

Haruichi Furudate competed as a middle blocker in junior high and high school volleyball clubs.^[1] Prior to serialization, Furudate aimed to author a volleyball manga, but an editorial adviser suggested gaining storytelling experience in other genres before tackling the sport.^[2][3] Furudate followed this guidance and debuted with the supernatural horror mystery series Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya Senpai no Kaidan.^[2][3] Editor Yuyuki Honda worked with Furudate starting prior to the author's commercial debut.^[2] After Yotsuya Senpai concluded, Furudate pursued a volleyball serialization by publishing an initial one-shot in Shueisha's seasonal magazine Shonen Jump NEXT! 2011 Winter.^[2][3][4] A second one-shot followed in Weekly Shonen Jump in the combined 20th and 21st issue of 2011.^[2][3][5] The first narrative outline developed for the potential weekly series was dense, compressing events that eventually comprised the first seven chapters of the serialized work.^[2][3] Furudate spent approximately a year revising and reorganizing the manuscript before the series commenced weekly publication in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 12 on February 20, 2012, under the promotional tagline Theatrical Youth (Gekiteki Seishun).^[2][3][6]

The title of the series derives from the kanji term haikyu, meaning volleyball.^[7] The story is set primarily in Miyagi Prefecture, depicting specific regional landmarks such as Sendai Station and the Sendai City Gymnasium.^[1][8] In one scene, characters sing the advertising jingle of Yagiyama Benyland, an amusement park located in Sendai.^[1] Furudate had studied at Sendai Design Vocational School after high school, and the author's initial editor resided in Miyagi Prefecture, motivating the choice of the prefecture as the story's backdrop.^[8] Karasuno High School and its immediate neighborhood were drawn using the author's hometown of Karumai, Iwate Prefecture, as a geographic model.^[1][9] The school names in the series are largely fictional, frequently incorporating animal themes, though several are directly based on existing institutions, such as Shiratorizawa Academy being modeled after Tohoku High School.^[10]

Furudate incorporated a geographic naming scheme for team personnel based on hot spring resorts across northern Japan.^[1][11] The surnames of the players and coach at Aoba Johsai High School are taken, with some exceptions, from hot spring sites in Iwate Prefecture, and those of Date Tech High School's players and coach from hot springs in Miyagi Prefecture. The surnames of Kakugawa High School's players come from hot springs in Aomori.^[11] Surnames of Tokonami High School players are taken from stations along the Tokyu Tamagawa train line.^[11] In contrast, Inarizaki High School player surnames derive from fox species and terminology, Fukurodani Academy players are named after owl species, Nohebi Academy players take names from snakes, and Mujinazaka High School players bear names associated with badgers and raccoons.^[12]

Furudate initiated Haikyu!! with the concept of an exceptional setter matching passes precisely to a spiker.^[13][14] The volleyball depictions reflect realistic match tactics, though the freak quick (henjin sokko) performed with closed eyes was conceived by Furudate as an impossible technique in real competition.^[13][14] Real-life tournaments featured in the series include the All-Japan Middle School Volleyball Championship, the National High School Comprehensive Athletic Tournament (Inter-High), and the All Japan High School Volleyball Championship, commonly known as the Spring High tournament.^[1] Rotations are structured into matches to generate tactical tension, and descriptive terms such as the view from the top and the stopping toss are used to make specific actions memorable.^[13][14] Following serialization, male enrollment in junior high and high school volleyball clubs increased across Japan.^[15] Fans frequently visit Karumai on anime pilgrimages, and JR Bus Tohoku operates buses named Karumai Tokkyu 819 with registered license plate number 819 during the Karumai High School festival.^[16][17][18] The anime production committee officially registered August 19 as Haikyu!! Day with the Japan Anniversary Association based on the Japanese numerical pun for 8-1-9.^[19] Authors Daisuke Ashihara and Posuka Demizu reported that Furudate's work influenced their own creations, World Trigger and The Promised Neverland.^[20][21]

Plot and Story Arcs

Shoyo Hinata, a student at Yukigaoka Middle School, develops an interest in volleyball after viewing a television broadcast of Karasuno High School competing at the national tournament.^[22] Inspired by Karasuno's short wing spiker nicknamed the Little Giant, Hinata joins his school's volleyball club, but finds himself its sole member. For two years, he practices alone, with girls' teams, and with friends from other athletic clubs.^[22] In his third year, he fills a team of six with three newly joined first-year students and two third-year helpers from other clubs, and plays his first official match. Yukigaoka loses heavily in the first round to Kageyama's Kitagawa Daiichi Middle School, in what becomes Hinata's first and last official middle school match.^[22] The opposing team includes Tobio Kageyama, known as the King of the Court, and after the match Hinata vows revenge on him.^[22][23] Hinata enrolls at Karasuno High School to join the Little Giant's former program, but discovers Kageyama has chosen the same school after failing the general admission test for Shiratorizawa Academy.^[22][24] Karasuno has declined since the Little Giant's departure, earning the derogatory label the Wingless Crows.^[25] A three-on-three match is set as the condition for their joining the club, and in it a play Kageyama proposes, setting the ball to meet Hinata's highest jump, works unexpectedly well and becomes the origin of their freak quick.^[26]

The Fukurodani Academy Group includes Shinzen High School in Saitama, the camp site for the annual summer joint practice, and Ubugawa High School in Kanagawa.^[11] Hinata receives instruction from former coach Ikkei Ukai in the basic theory and technique of spiking, including the run-up, and his skill in the air gradually improves, while Kageyama trains until he can deliver a set that stops at the spiker's hitting point. Tsukishima, who had taken a cynical attitude toward volleyball, joins self-directed practice in the third gymnasium with Tetsuro Kuroo of Nekoma and Kotaro Bokuto of Fukurodani, which starts his growth and shapes his view of read blocking. Karasuno also incorporates simultaneous multi-directional attacks inspired by Shinzen High.

In the Spring High primary qualifiers, Karasuno defeats Ohginami High School and Kakugawa High School, overcoming Kakugawa's 201 cm spiker Yudai Hyakuzawa. In the 16-team representative tournament, Karasuno plays Johzenji High School, an athletic team led by Yuji Terushima that utilizes an improvisational, freestyle offense modeled on two-on-two play. The match also shows Sawamura's steadiness as the foundation of the team. In the quarter-finals against Wakutani Minami High School, Karasuno faces Takeru Nakashima, an undersized ace skilled in wiping spikes off blocks. A collision between Tanaka and Sawamura injures Sawamura, who has to leave the court, and Chikara Ennoshita takes over as game captain. Karasuno wins narrowly. In the semi-finals, Karasuno rematches Aoba Johsai, who field aggressive wing spiker Kentaro Kyotani. Yamaguchi enters as a pinch server and is involved in five consecutive points, including three service aces, while Sugawara also targets Kyotani with his serves. Karasuno secures the third set with an evolved minus-tempo quick. In the final, Karasuno confronts Shiratorizawa Academy, led by left-handed national youth representative Wakatoshi Ushijima and guess blocker Satori Tendo. Over five sets, Tsukishima implements system defense and blocks Ushijima in the second set. Although Tsukishima injures his right hand in the fifth set and is briefly substituted, Karasuno wins the five-set final and takes Miyagi's only representative place for the national tournament.

In mid-November, Tokyo holds its representative playoffs among Fukurodani Academy, Nekoma High School, Nohebi Academy, and Itachiyama Institute. Fukurodani defeats Nekoma in the semi-finals in straight sets. In the third-place match for the final Tokyo berth, Nekoma faces Nohebi Academy, coached by Kiyoshi Ohmizu and captained by Suguru Daisho, whose taunting and psychological tactics unsettle Nekoma. Nekoma libero Morisuke Yaku sprains his ankle and leaves the court, but substitute Yuki Shibayama coordinates with middle blocker Lev Haiba to secure victory and qualification. Itachiyama Institute wins the Tokyo tournament, led by national ace Kiyoomi Sakusa and top libero Motoya Komori.^[27] Kageyama is called up to the All-Japan Youth training camp, while Tsukishima is selected for a Miyagi prefectural training camp for promising first-year players. Uninvited to either camp, Hinata forces his way into the Miyagi first-year selection camp; he is not allowed to take part, but is permitted to stay as a ball boy. Through collecting balls, Hinata learns to anticipate play from the information on the court and develops his intuition. At the All-Japan youth camp, Inarizaki setter Atsumu Miya calls Kageyama's play well-behaved, leaving Kageyama torn between his middle school trauma and the cooperation with teammates he had come to value. In mid-December, Karasuno plays a practice match against Date Tech, where Kageyama, after words from Hinata and Keishin Ukai, overcomes his middle school trauma and realizes that arguing with teammates is also a way of communicating with them.

The Spring High national tournament opens on January 5 at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. In the first round, Karasuno defeats Kanagawa representative Tsubakihara Academy in straight sets after adjusting to an unfamiliar court floor and ceiling that at first disrupt their sense of space. On the second day, Karasuno meets Hyogo representative Inarizaki High School, Inter-High runner-up, featuring twins Atsumu and Osamu Miya, top-five spiker Aran Ojiro, blocking anchor Ren Omimi and middle blocker Rintaro Suna. The Miya twins pull off their own version of Karasuno's freak quick without practice, while Suna hits turning quicks, a specialty that uses his strong core to throw off blockers. The match goes to the final set, which Karasuno wins as Kageyama, Hinata, Tanaka and Nishinoya each raise their play; Tsukishima shuts out the twins' quick and Hinata makes a perfect receive. Meanwhile, Nekoma defeats Ishikawa representative Sarukawa Tech in straight sets after Kozume turns Sarukawa's plan to wear him down physically against them. On the third day, Karasuno and Nekoma contest their first official match, realizing the Battle of the Garbage Dump on the national stage. Kozume devises his own plans against Hinata, but Hinata breaks through them one after another. Karasuno narrowly wins after the match goes to a deciding set; near the end Kozume murmurs that it is fun, and after the match he thanks Kuroo for teaching him volleyball.

In the quarter-finals, Fukurodani defeats Oita representative Mujinazaka High School. Mujinazaka's Wakatsu Kiryu is one of the three aces who represent the current generation of high school players, known as the three-finger aces.^[28] Karasuno then plays Nagano representative Kamomedai High School, known for blocking among the best in the country, with top blocker Sachiro Hirugami, the 203.3 cm Gao Hakuba, and ace Korai Hoshiumi, called the current Little Giant. After losing the first set, Karasuno takes the second by swapping the positions of middle blockers Hinata and Tsukishima in an irregular rotation, but midway through the third set Hinata develops a 39.1°C fever and has to leave the match. Kamomedai defeats Karasuno, and Ichibayashi High School from Nara Prefecture ultimately wins the national championship by defeating Fukurodani in the final.^[29] In Hinata's second year of high school, Karasuno loses to Date Tech in the Inter-High qualifiers and is eliminated by Inarizaki in the third round of the Spring High tournament. In Hinata's third year, Karasuno reaches the national semi-finals at the center court, finishing third after losing to eventual champion Itachiyama Institute.

After graduating from Karasuno, Hinata spends a year preparing and then travels alone to Brazil for two years of beach volleyball training, arranged through an introduction from Shiratorizawa coach Washijo. Homesick at first, Hinata recovers his spirits after a chance reunion with Oikawa during a Brazil tour by Oikawa's Argentine club; he becomes friends with his roommate Pedro, partners with beach player Heitor Santana, and becomes known as Ninja Shoyo through his beach volleyball matches in Brazil. Returning to Japan in 2018, Hinata passes tryouts for V.League Division 1 team MSBY Black Jackal, playing opposite alongside teammates Atsumu Miya, Kotaro Bokuto, and Kiyoomi Sakusa.^[30] In November 2018, the Black Jackal face the Schweiden Adlers, whose roster includes Kageyama, Ushijima, Hoshiumi, Gao Hakuba's club mentor Nicollas Romero, and team captain Fukuro Hirugami.^[31] At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Hinata, Kageyama, Bokuto, Ushijima, Hoshiumi, Atsumu Miya, Sakusa, Yaku, Suna, Hyakuzawa, Hakuba, and Komori represent the Japanese national team, facing Argentina, whose roster features Oikawa as starting setter after obtaining Argentine citizenship. In 2022, Hinata plays for Asas Sao Paulo in Brazil and Kageyama plays for Ali Roma in Italy, meeting in the final of the FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship.
