Came 2 days earlier than expected! This series is a lot of fun--the characters are all interesting and you really grow to like and respect them. Before getting into this series, I wasn't particularly interested in volleyball (or sports in general), nor did I know a single thing about it. I believe that goes to show that the story itself and characters really pull you in, even if you have no prior knowledge of volleyball, like myself! Plus there's plenty of laughs along the way, this is easily one of the most lighthearted, funniest manga I've read, which can be a nice release at times. I'm very excited for the release of the next few volumes, and am happy to support this series!

Purchased: June 28, 2016Expected/Actual Arrival: July 5, 2016I was so happy when I was able to get the actual book instead of reading it online. This is a great series and after I watched the anime I immediately checked if there was a manga about it and I was very happy to see that there was. This is one of my favorite series because the person who actually made Haikyuu!! Was into horror and comedy making this volume have funny parts and turning around to have a more ‘scary’ part. I would recommend this to anybody who loves comedy because it is almost full of it, people who have seen the anime, and people who like volleyball in general.

Haikyuu has consistently showed up in a lot of my feeds from people who absolutely adore this title - and I can see why. From the exuberant hero, Shoyo Hinata, to his cranky uptight rival, Tobio Kageyama, we have the setting for a very fun and earnest sports manga. It all comes down to the characters here as you find yourself wanting to cheer for them.Story: Hinata has had one goal: to become the best volleyball player he can be. Unfortunately for Hinata, he's very short and so has to make up for vertical challenge through mobility on the court and teamwork. But he hits a wall when playing a neighboring middle school: Tobio Kageyama. Nicknamed "king of the court", Kageyama has a talent for the sport but terrible interpersonal skills. The two are opposite sides of the same coin: one motivates and one demotivates. But when they find themselves in the same team in high school, they are going to learn some hard lessons about volleyball from their older teammates. And maybe in the process, they will become not only better volleyball players but also better people.Clearly, the reason to read Haikyuu is for the characters. Hinata is so much fun in his undying optimism and energy. Contrasting with down to earth Kageyama, the sparring of the two is quite fun to watch. But the other characters are also interesting, especially the older teammates and a smart captain who knows how to bring out the best in his players. His schemes to get Kageyama and Hinata to work together are smart but also fun.The best description I can give for Haikyuu is that its ebullience is infectious. The series doesn't take itself too seriously and allows the characters to breathe and grow. And at the same time, readers will grow to love our scruffy heroes and their vollyball pursuits. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

This is really good! I've never read a sports manga before because I am probably the *least* sports interested person in the world. But I thought I'd give sports manga a try and I'm impressed! The sport here is volleyball and they taught me everything I needed to know to understand what was going on this volume. I have a feeling I'll be introduced to all the rules and meanings of things as it goes along. All the sports action takes place in the same manner that a battle scene would so it was actually pretty fun and exciting when they were playing the sport. However, this was all about character! We really get to know the main characters; their attitude, some background, fears, hopes, etc. I really like this group of kids. I just don't know how I'm going to remember all their names as so many were introduced.So far I'm thinking of the main guys I'm interested in as "King", "Shorty" and "Glasses". LOL. Great stuff. I f you are a no-sports girl like me I'd say give sports manga a try if you are into characters.

The volume came in perfect shape, not bent or ruined in the delivery process. I preordered this volume and got it on the release date as well. The volume itself is a great read, something I definitely recommend. The story plot wise is written in a way that gets the reader into the story, wanting to find out more about the characters and the team as a whole. Haikyuu!! is a 10/10 recommend from me for anyone who loves team spirit and volleyball.

I'm not usually one who enjoys sports manga, but something about this series just made me fall in love. The characters are all different and their interactions are always entertaining. The series is full of action, comedy, and emotion.

If I could give it a higher rating I would

Really good(: the book was in perfect condition and there's no real problems with it. Defiantly worth the money. Can't wait for vol. 2!!
