Haikyuu Honors Hinata's Birthday With New Promo
Haikyuu is currently celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the series, and with it has released a special new promo to highlight Shoyo Hinata's journey over the course of the series so far. Haruichi Furudate's massively popular volleyball manga series might have come to an end some time ago, but the franchise has been experiencing a sort of revival as it celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the manga first hitting the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. With these looks back, it goes to show just how far each of the young players had come over its run.
This is especially true for Hinata and Kageyama at the center of it all as over the course of several time jumps towards the final moments of the series, fans saw the players evolve more than ever before. The two of them then grew even further with the special 10th Anniversary chapter of the series, and now fans have a special way to see Hinata grow with a new promo that not only celebrates the character's birthday (June 21st) but his journey over the series as a whole. You can check out the special Hinata promo below:
