Ever since witnessing the "Little Giant" and his remarkable skills on the volleyball court, Shouyou Hinata has been captivated by the dynamic nature of the sport. Although his attempt to debut as a regular player in a middle school tournament failed, he longs to prove that his lack of height is no longer a hindrance against his sheer will and perseverance. When Hinata enrolls in Karasuno High School, the Little Giant's alma mater, he believes he is one step closer to his goal of becoming a professional volleyball player. Although the school retains only a shadow of its former glory, Hinata's conviction remains unshaken until he learns that Tobio Kageyama—the prodigy who humiliated Hinata's middle school team with a crushing defeat—is now his teammate. To fulfill his desire to leave a mark on the world of volleyball—often regarded as the domain of the tall and the strong—Hinata must resolve his differences with Kageyama. Only when Hinata learns what it takes to be part of a team will he be able to join the race to the top in earnest.
