Haikyu!! (3-in-1 ­Edition)

Gr 7 Up–Ever since Hinata saw the "Little Giant” prove that one’s height isn’t a necessary factor to be great at volleyball, he has been determined to work hard and become the best volleyball player ever. To do this, Hinata must team up with his former rival, Tobio Kageyama, whose nickname is the “King of the Court.” When the two learn to put aside their individual egos, they create a power move that is deadly on the court, but the whole team must still bring their disparate elements together. This manga satisfies the typical sports tropes of hard work paying off, but Furudate also builds up each one of his characters until readers will have favorites and wish they had more page time. Furudate borrows some visual elements that are typically seen in action manga and incorporates them in his illustrations, with zooming lines and intense perspective angles to show speed and skill, but also to heighten the excitement throughout so it reads like a battle manga at times.
