About Haikyuu!!

The series follows Hinata Shoyo, a passionate boy who falls in love with volleyball after watching a live match featuring the legendary "Tiny Giant." Being short himself, Shoyo decides to dedicate himself to volleyball, even transferring to the Tiny Giant's old high school, Karasuno High School, to join the same volleyball team where the former legend played. However, his hopes of becoming a top player are dashed in middle school when he plays against the prodigious player Tobio Kageyama. The two continue their studies at the same high school and develop a competitive friendship, becoming a volleyball duo feared among other volleyball teams.

The series then focuses on the development of the Karasuno High School volleyball club, which has fallen into disgrace over time. With the help of newcomers Shoyo and Kageyama, Karasuno manages to regain its form and begins participating in several local competitions.

With the help of existing volleyball club members and newcomers, the team eventually competes in prefectural tournaments at the local level and later participates in the national high school volleyball championship.
