Box: --Junior high.
Box: My first real game was my last.
(above left box) "Haikyuu!!"
Box: My team suffered a crushing defeat.

Box: My opponent was "the king of the court".
Box: Continuing through the prefecture's leading championship school, I would
Box: definitely get revenge on that "king" in high school. ...that's what I'd decided.

(left side, vertical text) Vowing a rematch, he began his high school life--- overshadowed by dark clouds?!!

Box: So I proceeded to enter this "Karasuno High School".

(Shou): ---despite that.
Shou: Wh

Shou: WHY ARE YOU HERE?!!

[p003]

(Shou): Why is... this guy... in Karasuno...
(Shou): Well... maybe they just look the same...
(Shou): ...no.

(Shou): No, no!!
(left of Tobio)
"Just what did you come here to do?"
"That's why you get ridiculed."
"What have you been doing for 3 years?!"
(Shou): That face, those thoughtless words, and all of it! There's no way I'd forget!
(Shou): This guy is, without a doubt,

Shou: Kageyama Tobio!!

Tobio: ......you're...
Tobio: Last year's.........

Tobio: I don't know your name.

Shou: Uooh! My name is Hinata Shouyou! You better remember it!

Shou: But you probably wouldn't remember a guy from the team that lost in the first round, huuuh!

Tobio: I definitely remember you.

[p004]

Shou: What the heck,
Shou: Why're you going silent!
Shou: You wanna go
Shou: or something!
(Tobio): More than compensating for his disadvantage in height,
(Tobio): He possessed outstanding reflexes, jumping power and speed.
Flashback Shou: We haven't lost yet, y'know?

(Tobio): --yet despite all of that!
(Tobio): He didn't make use of any of that ability.

Tobio: You goddamn clumsy shit bastard!!

Shou: ...don't...
Shou: Don't you look down on me...!!

Shou: It's true that was a huge loss back then, but
Shou: Next time,
Shou: I won't lose!!!

[p005]

Shou: ......ah.

Shou: ...Anyway, I'd decided to come to Karasuno, so why are you here!
Shou: If we're on the same team, I can't beat you, you know!!

Shou: Right now, there are other high schools who have even more of a "championship!" feeling to them!
Shou: Why didn't you go to one of those?!

Tobio: ...as far as the number 1 championship school in the prefecture,

Tobio: I didn't get in.

[p006]

Shou: You didn't get in?!!

Shou: Even though you're "the king of the court"?!
(sfx) Twitch

Tobio: ......Oi.
Tobio: Don't...

Tobio: call me that.

???: Naaaah! Like Kitagawa Daiichi's setter would really come here~!

[p007]

Ryunosuke: But that guy's totally conceited!
???: Again with that... nobody cares that you're intimidated by him, so why not give it a rest?
またお前。。。誰彼構わず威嚇すんのやめろよ?
Ryunosuke: I-I'm not at all!
Tobio: Hey there!

(Shou): High schoolers... are really kinda huge...!
(small text) Well, I'm a high schooler too, though...

(Shou): That's right,
(Shou): I've... come to Karasuno...!

[p010]

(Shou): Okay, I'll greet them too...
Shou: Hey there!
Shou: H
Shou: Hey
Shou: Hi
Daichi: How tall are you?
Tobio: 180 cm.
Koushi: Wooah.

Shou: U-umm!! HI THERE.
Ryunosuke: Gueh?

Ryunosuke: AH!
Ryunosuke: Yo
Ryunosuke: You're...!!!

Ryunosuke: That number 1 shortie!!!

Daichi: Eh?!
Koushi: Ahh!

Daichi: Then the other registration form... this "Hinata" person...
Daichi: So that's you...!!

Shou: Ehh?! Err

Daichi: ...wow... I'm a bit surprised...
Daichi: I see.

Daichi: So you both came to Karasuno, huh...!

[p011]

Shou: ? Umm.
Koushi: We were watching your match last year.
Ryunosuke: You were short and really clumsy, but you had some real guts!
Shou: Th
Shou: Thank you!!

Koushi: Your jumps were amazing, too.

Ryunosuke: And even better, you haven't really gotten any taller!
Shou: Ah... geh.... it hasn't really changed, but...
Shou: But!

Shou: Even though I'm small, I can jump!
Shou: I'll show you that I can become Karasuno's ace!!

Ryunosuke: Oi oooi, just joined, and you're already making declaring yourself an ace, huh! You've sure got some nerve.
Koushi: That's fine, isn't it. It's better to have a grand goal,
Koushi: right?
Shou: Ugh.
Shou: Ah!

Shou: I-I'm going to do my best.
Tobio: Shouldn't you
Tobio: improve your skills before saying something like "I'll become your ace" ?

[p012]

Tobio: If you're going to do things sluggishly,
Tobio: you'll waste another 3 years.

Shou: ...what did you say...
Daichi: Oh... why would you say something like that, Kageyama...
Ryunosuke: Looks like they're not friends at all, huh~
Koushi: Eh?
Koushi: They're fighting already? Isn't it kinda early for that?

Shou: I gave it everything I had...!

(Shou): I gave it everything I had
(Shou): and the result was that defeat,

(Shou): ----but.

Shou: But
Shou: Everything until now...
Shou: Don't you say that it's as if everything was pointless!!

[p013]

Daichi: ...listen, you guys.
Daichi: You understand that you're not enemies anymore, right? Please be more aware of your place as teammates.
Daichi: Volleyball connects us, but what's most important is cooperation, y'know.
Shou: Let's have a match.
Shou: You and...!

Ryunosuke: UOOOI!! Daichi-san was in the middle of talking!!
Tobio: ? What match?
Shou: Volleyball! That's obvious, isn't it!
Tobio: ...how exactly would a 1 on 1 match work.
Shou: EHH?!
Shou: Pa...passing or something?!
Tobio: There's no winning or losing in passes, is there?
Shou: Grr.
Ryunosuke: LISTEN TO ME, DAMMIT!!

Man: You're a rather noisy volleyball club.

Man: You couldn't possibly be fighting, right?

Ryunosuke: Geh, it's the vice principal!
Koushi: That's "sensei"!
Ryunosuke: Senseeei.

[p014]

Daichi: Fighting?! Of course not! They're just guys who really apply themselves.
Daichi: Isn't that right?
(sfx around Koushi) Nod nod
Ryunosuke: Oi! Quiet down!
Ryunosuke: The vice principal is ready and eager to take care of "problematic behavior" !
なんかっつーと〃問題行動〃にしたがる教頭だから!

Ryunosuke: Oi, didn't you hear me?
Shou: Serve.

Ryunosuke: HEY, DAMMIT!
Shou: Shoot it.
Shou: I'll return every shot.
Shou: ...since I wasn't able to return any of your serves last year.

(Shou): There was the one that hit my face, though...
(Bubble Shou): Oww
(Tobio): I'm certain he stopped one with his face...

Shou: ...I've even... gotten help with practice from various people.
Shou: Guys from other clubs, the girls' volleyball players, mothers, and the like.

Shou: I'm no longer the same as I was last year.

Tobio: ...not the same as last year...
Tobio: ...huh.

[p015]

Tobio: I see.
Tobio: I'm not the same as I was last year, either.

(Shou): Did he
(Shou): Just smile?!
Koushi: Oi, we told you to stop it!

Daichi: Hey, c'mon you guys. Stop doing whatever you want.
(left of Daichi) Irritated
Teacher: Those are 1st years, hm?

(Shou): C-calm down, don't get scared. You practiced tons of serves with the grannies, after all...!
sfx bubble: Bounce
sfx bubble: Bounce bounce

(Tobio): No matter how much you've improved, I won't make it easy for you...!
Tobio: Here I go.

(Shou): A jump serve?!
(Shou): Even though he only did normal serves last year...!!

[p016]

(Shou): Geeh, I didn't hear about thiiis!

(Shou): Crap...
(Shou): It's fast...

(Shou): If I

Shou: Yeek!
(Shou): ...stopped it with my face, I'd die!!!

[p017]

(Shou): What the heck...?!

(Shou): There isn't any girl or granny who could hit a serve like that!
(left of Koushi): Yikes
Ryunosuke: I dunno if even I could return that.
Tobio: Just how
Tobio: is that any different from last year.

Shou: One more.

Daichi: Oi!
Teacher: It's a real problem that they don't listen to the captain's instructions.

sfx bubble: Tweeet...

[p018]

(left of players): What fast instincts.

(right of Shou): Perceiving when the ball is right in front of him...

Shou: Guah!

Teacher: I've told you before that I'm not going to go easy on you, haven't I.
Teacher: If this is the sort of thing that you're doing, I'll give the gymnasium to another club.

[p019]

Tobio: Crap.
Tobio: Sorry about
Tobio: that?!

Koushi: Da
Koushi: Daichi...!!

Tobio: ...huh... so that was a wig...!
Shou: Took you long enough to notice! Everyone at the entrance ceremony already figured it out.
Ryunosuke: Pffffft! You guys! Pukuku shut up~
(bottom of bubble) PFFFFFFFT
Koushi: Tanaka, you shut up too!!
sfx bubble: Lift...

[p020]

Teacher: ...Sawamura-kun... may I have a moment of your time...

Box: 30 minutes later.

Daichi: Thankfully, he isn't blaming anyone in particular and doesn't need an apology.
(above players) Hoh...
Daichi: ---also.
Daichi: We saw nothing.

Daichi: But, you two
Tobio: It's because you couldn't return it properly.
Tobio: You're hopeless.
Tobio: What was all that "I'm different from last year" stuff.
Tobio: Don't mess with me.
Tobio: I've lost all hope in you.
Tobio: You shit.
Shou: Each of those comments was more than enough.
Daichi: ---hey.

Daichi: I'd...
Daichi: like you to listen to me for a bit.

Daichi: I don't know your reasons for coming to Karasuno,
Daichi: but naturally, I assume you've come here to win.
Shou: Yes!
Tobio: Of course.

[p021]

Daichi: ----Until several years ago,
Daichi: Karasuno was the top competitive team in the prefecture.
Daichi: We even went to the nationals once.
Daichi: But now, among the prefecture's best 8, often we aren't particularly weak
でも今は良くて県ベスト8特別弱くも
Daichi: or strong.
Daichi: Other schools refer to us as

Daichi: The fallen champions.
Daichi: "Flightless crows."
(The "karasu" of Karasuno means "crow")

Ryunosuke: Seriously, who came up with that.
Ryunosuke: Such a rude name that sounds like something out've a poem!
そんなポエミーで失礼な名前つけやがったのは!

Daichi: I remember it well, the time Karasuno went to "Harukou" for the national meet.
Daichi: Students of neighboring high schools... who would occasionally pass by each other here and there,
Daichi: competing against strong fighters from across the nation in Tokyo's huge gymnasium.
Daichi: It gave me goosebumps.

Announcer: He is surely a "small giant"!!

(left of crow): Caaaw!

[p022/023]

Daichi: We're going to go there again.

Daichi: We won't

Daichi: let them call us "flightless crows" any longer.

(Shou): I'll be going to
(Shou): the same court
(Shou): as the "small giant"...!!!

Tobio: ...there are plenty of teams whose "current dream" is appearing at the nationals.
Ryunosuke: Idi
Ryunosuke: Bastard!

Daichi: Yeah.
Daichi: Don't worry,

Daichi: We're completely serious.

Tobio: Erk...
Ryunosuke: Idiot!
Ryunosuke: You can't go lumping us in with other teams because of that...

[p024]

Daichi: I'd rather not come under the vice-principal's scrutiny.

Daichi: Y'know, I'm
Daichi: not telling you two to be friends.

Daichi: Though you were enemies on opposite sides of the net in junior high,
Daichi: now, you should more be aware that you are "comrades on the same side" of the net...

Daichi: That is what I'm saying.

Daichi: No matter how excellent of a player you are,

Daichi: no matter how willing you are to put in the effort as a first year,

Daichi: in the end, guys who fight among themselves and cause trouble for the team
Daichi: are not needed.

[p025]

Daichi: Until you two view each other as teammates,
sfx bubble: Drop
Daichi: I will absolutely not allow you to participate in club activities.

sfx bubble: Clang

(Shou/Tobio): WHAAAAA?!!!
