RETURNS"},"content":{"rendered":"<style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><p>Lausanne, Switzerland, January 24, 2020 &#8211; On January 11, the highly popular Japanese manga series \u201cHaikyu!!\u201d returned to Japanese television networks Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS) and Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS). The fourth season of the series is called, \u201cHaikyu!! To The Top.\u201d The series is broadcast by both channels during the Super Animeism programming block.<\/p>\n<p>Haikyu!! was created by Haruichi Furudate who played volleyball as a middle blocker at school in Karumai, Iwate prefecture, a town with a population of 8,500. Furudate loved volleyball, but his team\u2019s results were not great. After graduating from high school, he went to the Sendai Vocational College of Design with a goal in mind: to create a volleyball focused manga.<\/p>\n<p>The first hurdle, however, was to get backing for his work, before Haikyu!! could be created. In 2008, when he was 25,\u00a0Furudate&#8217;s\u00a0work was recognized by the leading weekly anime publisher Weekly Shonen Jump. His work at that time was published on the Weekly Shonen Jump website. The publisher then took his series \u201cKaiben School, Yotsuya\u2019s Ghost Story\u201d and published it weekly in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>After the completion of the \u201cKaiben School, Yotsuya\u2019s Ghost Story\u201d, Furudate proposed the series Haikyu!! to Weekly Shonen Jump. Haikyu!! was first displayed in a Weekly Shonen Jump NEXT! seasonal double issue in 2011, and after a further review by the publisher, Haikyu!! was approved for publication from June 2012.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50909\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5514\" height=\"2833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20.jpg 5514w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20-768x395.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20-1024x526.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-20-600x308.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5514px) 100vw, 5514px\" \/><strong>Japan fans with cartoon representations of their favourite team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Normally the word for volleyball in Japanese is written as bareebooru (\u30d0\u30ec\u30fc\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb) in katakana, a Japanese alphabet which is used for foreign words. However, if you use a pictograph reading for volleyball, it can be read as haikyu (\u6392\u7403). The first character can be read as expelling (spiking the ball at speed) and the second character as ball. In this case Furudate has used the pictograph spelling for volleyball but spelled out in katakana for \u30cf\u30a4\u30ad\u30e5\u30fc\uff01\uff01<\/p>\n<p>Furudate based the series in the city of Sendai, Miyagi prefecture. Sendai has hosted FIVB World Cup and FIVB World Grand Prix events in the past. The story is focused on Karasuno High School and its players. Karasuno had been a successful team in Miyagi prefecture, and had played in the Japanese national high school championships in the past. However, the team had fallen on hard times and was having a difficult time competing with other schools in the area.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50910\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/3-14-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><strong>Fans at an FIVB World Cup match in Sendai in 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Furudate used his experience as a player to have the series use real tournaments, such as the Japanese national high championship (Haruko) and prefectural high school championships (Todufuken-taikai) to give the story a real-life depth. Additionally, he explains rules and describes the plays (or tactics) in the story to bring those who are not familiar with the sport an easier understanding to keep them engaged. The attention to detail has been popular with manga readers and television viewers alike.<\/p>\n<p>Since the debut of Haikyu!! in 2012, the series has grown to 40 published volumes and was converted into an animated series and first broadcast in April 2014 with the name Haikyu!! on the MBS network. Two further series were broadcast in October 2015 and October 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Haikyu!! has also been popular in collaborations. FIVB approved ball manufacturers Mikasa have had their designs displayed in the book and broadcast editions. In preparation for its return to television in 2020, the Japanese V.LEAGUE V1 men\u2019s league also announced in August that it would collaborate with \u201cHAIKYU!! To The TOP\u201d on a special campaign. Each of the 10 teams in the league has a player that corresponds with one of the characters of the Karasuno team in the series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50911\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/4-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/4-7.jpg 573w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/4-7-181x300.jpg 181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ten players involved in the promotion are (from left to right): Kenya Fujinaka (Suntory Sunbirds), Hidetomo Hoshino (Toray Arrows Men), Ryoma Fujioka (Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler), Tomohiro Yamamoto (Sakai Blazers), Shin Tehara (FC Tokyo), Hiroaki Asano (JTEKT Stings), Taishi Onodera (JT Thunders Hiroshima), Ryota Denda (Wolfdogs Nagoya), Yasunari Kodama (Panasonic Panthers) and Yu Kuriki (VC Nagano Tridents)<\/p>\n<p>The V.LEAGUE have also been creating individual videos for each of the players.
