He still has to overcome the mythical series of Óliver and Benji, But the truth is that no one is up to Haikyuu!, who has already left several anime behind that, until very recently, they surpassed him. When we talk about Haruichi Furude We talk about Volleyball, the author of the manga was a player in his time as a teenager and his staging in drawing has led him to the top.
The numbers of Haikyuu! They already leave behind Slam Dunk (basketball), Ace of Diamond (baseball), Kuroko no basket (basketball) or Free! (swimming). Modern and classic works that were on par and that are now in a third ranking behind the Japanese football series and Furude.
The question now is to know how far it will go Haikyuu fever! which intensified in confinement thanks to platforms such as Netflix (Now in Amazon Prime Video) that were used to kill boredom.
From that moment on, his popularity grew from the Otakus to the not so lovers of Japanese art. His quotas fall over time, since he ended in 2020 and is experiencing a sustained decline, but it is that milestone that has allowed him to overcome the others.
Now, with the announcement of the 4 films It will seek to reach number one of the classification, which is still far away. The animated series of Óliver and Benji (1983), and his prequel World Cup champions, he has come to be present in Spain until a few years ago and that has allowed him to be on top. A work that has aged very well over time, since football remains the king sport in our country and its animation is a classic.
It remains to be seen how far the candidate will get to the throne, but it is clear that the legacy of Haikyuu! could extend in the same way that the work of Yoichi Takahashi.
