Inspired
after watching a volleyball ace nicknamed "Little Giant" in action,
small-statured Shouyou Hinata revives the volleyball club at his middle school.
The newly-formed team even makes it to a tournament; however, their first match
turns out to be their last when they are brutally squashed by the "King of
the Court," Tobio Kageyama. Hinata vows to surpass Kageyama, and so after graduating
from middle school, he joins Karasuno High School's volleyball team—only to
find that his sworn rival, Kageyama, is now his teammate.
Thanks
to his short height, Hinata struggles to find his role on the team, even with
his superior jumping power. Surprisingly, Kageyama has his own problems that
only Hinata can help with, and learning to work together appears to be the only
way for the team to be successful. Based on Haruichi Furudate's popular shounen
manga of the same name, Haikyuu!! is an exhilarating and emotional sports
comedy following two determined athletes as they attempt to patch a heated
rivalry in order to make their high school volleyball team the best in Japan.
