Haikyu!!, Vol. 1: Hinata and Kageyama

Haikyuu!! V1 is an excellent start for a sports manga. Viz's lineup has been heavily focused on basketball for years however they have slowly expanded to include more sports, for example, Cross Manga, which focused on lacrosse, and now Haikyuu!! with volleyball. Volleyball feels like a new frontier for western releases for manga and I believe it works. Furudate's accessible approach with the sport enables anyone to quickly get into it and understand the intricacies right from the first page. Using a novice as the main character of the volume works wonders in making this an easy to grasp read. High level concepts of volleyball are initially avoided and only introduced once the basics have been defined and even then with a lead character who may not understand it in the technical sense we are able to understand that which was said by seeing the character execute the concept. I enjoyed the introduction to high school boys volleyball club antics as well as the heartfelt story of crushed dreams and a new attempt to tackle those dreams after a high school debut. The many characters, from the senior members like the captain to the bickering first years, including the two leads, but also the glasses wearing snarky Tsukishima, there is much to love. Sure, not every character may be to someone's liking but I think they have excellent chemistry that is only bound to deepen further. Viz continues to translate and letter the sound effects, honorifics are kept as well, making for an easy to read volume. There were no color pages or extras beyond extra sketches and character profiles mixed into chapters.

really cheap and came super fast! definitely a good way to purchase if youre looking to buy manga cheap ^_^

My first time owing manga,I’ve read some here and there at my library but I’m so excited I loved the show! And haikyuu!,it’s actually the reason I play volleyball lol 😂

Absolutely amazing. Came in great shape and was an awesome gift for my friend!

I love the plot of Haikyuu!! and being able to read this book is so exciting, although I was going to order a physical copy but it wasn't available. What a shame!

HINATAAAAAAAAA!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I forgot how truly inspiring his character is! Granted, I call him my real life senpai as he inspires me everyday, but reading from the beginning of the manga and then seeing how incredible he is makes me so moved. What a fantastic character he is and will never not be a Hinata fangirl! I totally blown away by the detail in all the art! I don't know why (maybe because I really a bunch of shojo and it's more airy?), but it was absolutely stunning! I felt it took me longer to read this volume then usual because I was trying to take in everything as I didn't want to miss anything! I love love love the story! Though I totally got mad at Kageyama for being such a jerk to Hinata! LOL! I totally forgot how rude/mean he is, but on the flip side, I forgot how very awesome Tanaka is. He's always been a great character, but he really stands out and makes you want to cheer for him since the beginning. This was such a fantastic first volume! I absolutely loved it and can't wait to keep reading!!

This is one of my favorite series due to me playing Volleyball. It really brings out what happens on the court not just off it. Volleyball definitely takes teamwork and confidence just like Hinata which I love!

This book was amazing, I thought it was a poster😬🫣 but that’s my own fault lol. Other than that though amazing quality

im so relieved that i finally got this. i wanted this so bad and finally got it, looks nice and clean thanks 👌

Great animation, nice story

Alles tip top

Pensaba que era otra edición o algo por el precio y que en los datos pone que es de Simón & Schuster pero es la de VizMedia (como el resto de los tomos) y muy contenta. Ya había visto el anime y el manga es poco más o menos lo mismo, al menos en este tomo, pero me encanta
