Haikyu!! Exhibition Stationery for the Collector Outside Japan

Haikyu!! Exhibition Notepad and Sticker Set

From Shonen Jump Pages to Global Screens

Haikyu!! is a high school volleyball manga by Haruichi Furudate, serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2020 across 45 collected volumes. Production I.G adapted it into four anime seasons running from 2014 through 2020, followed by two theatrical films — released in 2023 and 2024 — that brought the story of Karasuno High School’s volleyball club to a formal close. International streaming platforms carried the series to audiences across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, giving it one of the broader global fan footprints among Shonen Jump sports titles. Within Japanese fan culture the franchise is also notable for its exceptionally active female fanbase and high volume of fan-created work, a community that has remained engaged well past the manga’s final chapter.

Five Karasuno Players Across Five Backdrops

The set’s central illustration arranges five characters from Karasuno High School in a grid of individual panels, each set against its own atmospheric background — blue sky, starry night, rain, a green field, and what reads as a sunset or moonlit sky. This per-character backdrop arrangement is a recognizable format in Japanese anime and manga exhibition art, designed to give each figure a distinct mood within a single composition.

The identified characters are Shoyo Hinata, the series’ lead and a wing spiker recognizable by his orange hair and the “KARASUNO” lettering visible on his shirt; Tobio Kageyama, the black-haired setter whose partnership with Hinata forms the narrative core of the story; Kei Tsukishima, the tall, gold-haired, bespectacled blocker known for his cool detachment and sarcastic edge — shown here in casual off-court clothes with a backpack and headphones, a portrait style particularly common in exhibition artwork; and Azumane Asahi, the team’s ace wing spiker, whose imposing build and tied-back hair contrast with the more inward, sensitive personality he carries through the story. A fifth figure’s appearance is consistent with Ryunosuke Tanaka, though a definitive identification from the image alone is not certain.

How Exhibition Stationery Works in Japan

Official anime and manga exhibitions in Japan — original-art shows, series retrospectives, illustration galleries — routinely produce merchandise sold or distributed exclusively at the venue during the event’s run, with no general retail distribution afterward. This notepad and sticker set belongs to that category. The listing’s “Exhibition / Original Art Event” description points to an official Haikyu!! event of this type, though which specific event or year cannot be determined from available information. The character selection and visual style suggest production somewhere in the late 2010s to early 2020s.

Stationery occupies a practical middle ground in event merchandise: the notepad is functional, the stickers are displayable, and both carry artwork that doesn’t appear in standard retail releases. Because venue-exclusive items don’t enter general distribution in Japan and are not sold through ordinary overseas channels, the only path to them for international fans runs through collectors who attended the event.
