Furudate Haruichi

Thank you for picking up "Haikyuu!!" volume 1! I'll be really happy if you enjoy it. I've tried my best to create a story and characters that can even reach people who have never played nor know the rules of volleyball, so they'll think "despite that, I kinda want to root for these guys!"
