Haikyu!! is a sports manga series. It has been made into an anime and stage play.

Plot
Junior high school student Shōyō Hinata gains a sudden love of volleyball after seeing a national championship match on TV. Although short in stature, he becomes determined to follow in the footsteps of the championship's star player, nicknamed the "Little Giant", after seeing his plays. He creates a volleyball club and begins practicing by himself. Eventually, 3 other members join the team by his last year of middle school, pushing Hinata to persuade his two friends who are in different clubs to join just for the tournament. However, they are defeated in their first tournament game after being challenged by the championship favorite team, which includes the so-called "King of the Court" Tobio Kageyama. Though Hinata's team suffers a miserable defeat, he vows to eventually surpass Kageyama and defeat him.

Fast-forward to high school, Hinata enters Karasuno High School with the hopes of joining their volleyball club. Unfortunately for him, the very person he swore to surpass appears before him as one of his new teammates. At first, Hinata and Kageyama are unable to work together, causing the team captain to kick them out of the club. The two decide to challenge the elder members of the team to a match, hoping that if they win they will prove they can work together and be allowed to rejoin. The team captain accepts the challenge and working with another member of the team, Hinata and Kageyama win the match and are let back into the club.

By combining the genius-like qualities of Kageyama with Hinata's sheer athleticism, the duo creates an invincible brand-new volleyball tactic. Their new combo allows them to get over their differences and creates a strange alliance between the two filled with fun and laughter for them and their teammates. Thus begins the Karasuno boys' volleyball team's journey to the top.

Fanon
The Haikyuu!! fandom is very accepting of ships and ship wars (almost) never happen. No matter what you ship and how random or rare your ship may be (as long as it's not considered problematic), it's usually supported by other fans. Most ships are slash ships due to the majority of the characters being male. There are many ships, with some of the most famous being KageHina, IwaOi, DaiSuga and TsukkiYama.

Although the most popular are KageHina, IwaOi, DaiSuga and TsukkiYama, 'rarepairs' like BoKuro, AkaKen, HinaYachi, TsukiKage, etc. are gaining more attention, especially on social medias like TikTok.
