Haruichi Furudate's Haikyu!!: Challengers Exhibition: A Photo Report

Since its serialization began in 2012, Haikyu!! has continued to stand out as one of the defining masterpieces of the sports manga genre.

Offering an immersive experience of the series, the third original art exhibition, Haruichi Furudate's Haikyu!!: Challengers Exhibition, will be held at the Mori Arts Center Gallery, located on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, from Friday, October 30, 2026, to Monday, January 11, 2027 (a public holiday in Japan).

Highlights include original hand-drawn manuscripts by Haruichi Furudate, as well as brand-new illustrations created exclusively for this exhibition. Animate Times went behind the scenes to explore this showcase, where the stories of challenge experienced by Shoyo Hinata and his fellow players are brought to life through Furudate's powerful and dynamic artwork.

In this article, we bring you a photo report from the exhibition!
