Haikyuu is one of the best sports anime/manga of all time. It has set the benchmark very high for any future sports series. The beauty of Haikyuu lies in its brilliant and realistic depiction of Volleyball, staying true to its genre. With amazing characters and with no unnecessary side plots, this is a must watch or read masterpiece for any anime/manga fan.
The series primarily follows the story of Hinata Shoyo who wants to become a great Volleyball player despite being naturally hampered by short height. Since volleyball is a sport where 6 feet tall is considered short, it was always intriguing to know how far can Hinata travel in the world of Volleyball.
Furudate gave heartbreak to all fans when he timeskipped after the end of Karasuno’s match against Kamomedei in the Nationals Tournament Arc. After the timeskip, all the characters moved on with their life, with many continuing in volleyball field and others in their respective interested fields. The generation was known to be called as the “Monster Generation” as many made it to Proffesional volleyball clubs.
Let us look at all the known clubs and the players in it.
