Bakemono-tachi no Iku Tokoro, focusing on the Spring High quarter final match between Fukuroudani Academy, led by Koutarou Bokuto, and Mujinazaka High, featuring Wakatsu Kiryuu. The match takes place at the same time as Karasuno High's match against Kamomedai High, which will be depicted in Haikyuu!! Movie: vs. Chiisana Kyojin.

Haikyuu!! adapts Haruichi Furudate's volleyball manga, which launched as a one-shot in Shounen Jump NEXT seasonal magazine in January 2011. Weekly Shounen Jump published a second one-shot in April 2011, where it began regular serialization in February 2012. The manga ended its eight-year-run in July 2020. Shueisha published the 45th and final volume in November 2021. Haikyuu!! has a cumulative 70 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Production I.G produced the first three seasons in Spring 2014, Fall 2015, and Fall 2016. The fourth season, Haikyuu!!: To the Top, aired in split cours in Winter and Fall 2020. The manga also inspired four compilation films between July 2015 and September 2017.
