“Haikyu!!” has been entertaining manga fans since February 2012 and now the manga series is coming to an end with issue No. 33 of “Weekly Jump” (2020).

The announcement was made on issue No. 32 released today.

Although the climax has been announced awhile back, this is the first time an announcement gave a definitive date.

From mangaka Furudate Haruichi (“King Kid”, “Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya Senpai no Kaidan”), “Haikyu!!” begins with a junior high volleyball competition.

Hinata Shoyo may be short, clumsy and weak, but his passion is volleyball and he has been inspired by spikers, that despite his physical challenges, he has worked hard to have extraordinary reflexes and jumping ability.

Because his team didn’t have a volleyball team, he managed to get a team together in order to compete in one match and where he would meet a student who would become his rival, Kageyama Tobio.

Tobio on the other hand is well-known for his abilities and his setting and blocking abilities. But his arrogant demeanor has earned him the nickname “King of the Court” but not in a good way. Because of his terrible social skills, his team abandoned him which despite his magnificent skill, his coach had to bench him.

As both Hinata and Kageyama started attending Karasuno High School, both are shocked that they are teammates. But because they dislike each other, it interferes with the player dynamics with the volleyball team.

Can these two ever function as teammates.
