Currently one of the manga in Japan, the author of Haikyuu!! , who goes by the pseudonym Haruichi Furudate , took a trip to Brazil. On his trip, he interviewed two Brazilian volleyball players: Bárbara Seixas and Fernanda Berti. Before returning to Japan, he also interviewed the duo Evandro Guerra and Bruno Schmidt.
– We’re going to use what we talked about with the girls as a concept for the characters’ stories, it won’t exactly be the personification of the characters. We are here to better understand the environment and write a script richer in details – said Haruichi Furudate.
– This is the first time I have served as inspiration for a story. And when it comes to a drawing in Japan, it's very special. It's different, it's cool. I'm all silly. Many times we get caught up in working and working and don't realize the scope of our achievements. You forget that the world is watching you and how far your work has come. It’s a great pride – said Bárbara.
Haikyuu! ! is published by Shueisha , and has already had 3 seasons adapted into anime , as well as films and OVAs.
