It is produced by the animation studio Production I.G, with voice production handled by Sentai Filmworks. The series is based on the manga written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate, which was serialized in the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump.
The narrative follows a character named Hinata, who is inspired by a small-statured professional volleyball player. During his final year of middle school, Hinata creates a volleyball team. In their first tournament, the team faces an opponent led by Tobio Kageyama, who is known as the King of the Court. Following a crushing defeat in that match, Hinata vows to surpass Kageyama. The story eventually sees these two boys, who were bitter rivals in middle school, join forces on their high school team. Together, they work to take on other schools with a vengeance. The title of the series is derived from the Japanese kanji for volleyball. The show features sports-themed content and was released in English on November 14, 2017, with Kyle Jones serving as a voice director.
