Thus, Shoyo Hinata and his teammates will face the powerful Oikawa school, led by Hoshiumi Korai, a player who carries the same nickname that inspired Hinata: "The Little Giant".

Furthermore, an unmissable showdown between Fukurodani and Nohebi schools will be adapted into a TV special titled Haikyuu!!: The Way of the Monsters . The Fukurodani team, led by the charismatic Kotaro Bokuto, will face the fearsome Nohebi, commanded by Tetsuro Kuroo.

However, the work has been published in Weekly Shonen Jump since February 2012 for eight and a half years, and the manga series Haikyuu!! , by Haruichi Furudate, has surpassed the mark of 70 million copies in circulation.

Finally, from 2014 to December 2020, the anime adaptation aired on MBS and TBS, reaching its fourth season.
