Haikyuu: Predictor

Rafael Sobieski, a cool and aloof Polish-Italian teenager, transfers to Shiratorizawa Academy, a prestigious Japanese volleyball school. Known for his exceptional anticipation and meticulous defense, he stands out due to his pronounced obsession with cleanliness and order.

The second volume is a bit serious at the beginning, but becomes more lighthearted and cheerful later on.

(Also, Karasuno and Otokoma are rarely mentioned. There are many stories about Karasuno and Otokoma. If you don’t like reading my type of books, you can read other books. Please don’t criticize the characters or the author.)

In Shiratorizawa, where the ideal of "absolute strength" is pursued, Rafael must adapt to the powerful spikes of top-tier attacker Ushijima Wakatoshi, understand the unconventional play of teammate Tendo Kaku, and grow alongside the passionate and impulsive Goshiki Kou. On his journey from the prefectural qualifiers to the national competition, he gradually learns to strike a balance between asserting his individuality and integrating into the team.

This is a growth story about a talented player who finds his place in a strong Japanese volleyball school, builds the art of defense with rationality and order, and pursues the top together with teammates with different personalities.
