ハイキュー!! [Haikyū!!] #33
Haikyu!!, Vol. 33
Shoyo Hinata is out to prove that in volleyball you don't need to be tall to fly!
Ever since he saw the legendary player known as “the Little Giant” compete at the national volleyball finals, Shoyo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever! Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else?
The final points between Karasuno and Inarizaki are tossed back and forth, as neither team is ready to give up just yet. Both teams struggle to finish the other off and declare victory, but with the clock running out, will Karasuno be able to win the final set, or will Inarizaki send them packing?

Finished the anime last week and the hell I'm waiting an eternity until the last volumes of the manga get animated!
This manga/anime series is so great, do yourself a favor and read/watch it!

The games are great, but what really hits home (for me, anyway) is when they're watching the game on TV afterwards. It's one of those moments when you remember that they're all kids, and that's important in a story with as high stakes as this one has.
Plus it reminds me of watching dance performances on tape the next day in high school. Furudate's depiction is spot-on.

Grandpa Ukai being so proud of grandson Ukai and the karasuno boys really made me cry. I'm SO ready for this game tho! It's going to be intense and I really won't know who to cheer for.

April 20, 2022This counts as my review for the whole Haikyuu!! manga
READ FOR: best character developments and themes that I have ever encountered
READING LEVEL: Level 1-3 out of 5
*All of my reviews are as spoiler-free as possible unless stated otherwise*
I don’t think I’ll ever have enough words to express how much I love this manga and anime series but I’ll try anyway. But I just need to make it known that this has changed my view in anime and manga forever. I caught up with this manga in the last 30 or so chapters but I won’t say much to avoid spoilers... but it was crazy.
It made me laugh, cry, fall in love, think, and honestly... what else do you need in a series? I can keep going on and on about this series but honestly I think you should just read it for yourself. I really don't think you'll regret it.
When someone asks me what the plot is, honestly, all I can say is “they play volleyball” HAHAHA… but it’s so much more than that.
PLOT: ★★★★★
The plot was so well thought of from the very beginning and when I re-read the manga I can’t believe the amount of foreshadowing Furudate actually placed. My mind was so blown… I just. No words. I am seriously in love.
ART STYLE: ★★★★★
The art style… *chef’s kiss* especially in the later arcs. There were so many matches but even then Furudate never failed to leave me breathless at each one.
CHARACTERS: ★★★★★
The character development here is THE BEST. HANDS DOWN. that I have ever come across. I fell in love with the so many characters in this series that I did not even think that was possible.
The character relationships... the character dynamics... their mindsets... they are all so perfectly well done and realistic GAHHHH I've said this so many time throughout this review BUT THEY JUST MADE ME FALL IN LOVE SO EASILY. I can't pick my favourite one but hinata and kageyama just hold a special place in my heart.
This connects to the themes but my favourite thing that was done with the characters here was that each one of them embodied a theme or a message that the author wanted to get across. Those are spoilers so I won’t really talk about it but just know that it was one of the main reasons that made me go so crazy about this series.
*cough* hinata kageyama atsumu sakusa bokuto kita noya ushijima tendou tsukki suga kenma kuroo *cough* +++
Note: if you think this series is focused on only 1 team... you're in it for A RIDEEEEEE
I'm getting chills just looking at and remembering these panels ^^
THEMES: ★★★★★
Honestly I basically thought the themes were just gonna be “teamwork” and “friendship”… while it is all that, Furudate sensei was able to make it even deeper. And the symbolisms? You are not ready.
I think the one that was focused on the most was “It’s not always about winning, it’s about growth”. But there were also so many smaller things that lead up to that bigger point: (1) we get our strength from others, (2) but you also need to make yourself dependable, (3) there is always room for improvement, (4) working hard is good but overworking yourself isn’t, (5) you are built on the small things you do everyday, (6) an ace's back should be an inspiration to your teammates (hi bokuto), (7)+++
The way I wrote it was very straight to the point but I was amazed at how Furudate tackled the so many messages that I received from this series.
PACING: ★★★★★
THE TIMING. OF EVERYTHING. JUST MAKES SENSE.
It’s so realistic that I want to cry. (I actually already did… a lot of times.)
PAGE TURNER: ★★★★★
You should understand that I made this review weeks after I finally calmed down about this series cuz I was really going crazy about it HAHAHA if you have finished this series too or met me while I was reading this, you know what I’m talking about ;)
I'll keep this series close to my heart until the grave. You cannot convince me otherwise.
”You don’t win alone.
That’s just how it is.”

i'm actually getting impatient waiting for the haikyu movie to come out so i'm just gonna reread this instead
March 25, 2024
This is called despair, right after finishing the anime, and despair that the battle of the garbage dumpster isn't available in the movie theater in my city.
September 4, 2024
Omg, the Dumpster battle is here.
March 24, 2022
It's so exciting to reach a part of the story I haven't already watched in the anime! I'm glad that they're finally done with Inarizaki even though the team isn't quite as bad after getting used to them. But Nekoma is sooo much better. I can't wait to see how their match plays out!
(Those bathing scenes are so awkward. I know it's a cultural difference, but it just makes me uncomfortable. 😳)
Favorite moments:
-Hinata "taking it easy".
-Kageyama and Hinata arguing over who made the block.
-Bokuto's little speech.
-Seeing Kenma smirk!

estoy releyendo haikyuu porque tengo el cerebro podrido post-finales y es lo único que puede revivirme en este momento (aunque sea como la cuarta vez que leo este volumen! look away!).

Anyway, I cried an embarrassing amount of tears over this, and have officially crossed the line from what's been animated to new content, so we're having a great time.

Vol. 28 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 29 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 30 ★★★★☆
Vol. 31 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 32 ★★★★☆
The Inarizaki match ends on a high note, showcasing just how much Hinata has grown. However, I'm more excited about the Nekoma match. I started reading Haikyu!! all because of the Dumpster Battle. As an anime only who kept getting put off by how long the series is, the 2024 movie adaptation was so underwhelming that I had to bite the bullet. There has been so much buildup to this match: not only is there a decades-long rivalry between the coaches, the two teams are friends and have been training together. While the movie has given me the broad strokes, I'm excited to get into the nitty-gritty.
Furudate continues to impress with how dynamic some of the spreads are. Some highlights include chapter 290, in which , and chapter 296, where

La rilettura è d’obbligo dopo l’ennesimo rewatch dell’anime e in attesa dell’uscita del film in Italia 🥹
Il volume inizia con la fine della partita tra Karasuno e Inarizaki, IL Bagher di Shoyo mi emoziona sempre, rimane uno dei miei momenti preferiti. Proprio da questo si vede la sua evoluzione e crescita.
Dopo questo momento che coincide anche con la fine dell’anime non ricordavo quasi nulla, il bello dei manga sportivi è che si magari ricordi chi vince e chi perde ma non ricordi del tutto le giocate, le mosse (anche se quella con il nekoma ricordo che è una partita molto intensa).
E beh…che dire…, tra flashback e presente, si comincia nel migliore dei modi, non ci si poteva aspettare di meno dai gatti e i corvi 🐦⬛ 🗑️ 🐈
