Synopsis

Kanna Shimodaira enrolls in Toritsu Toyose High School and immediately joins their volleyball club. During club introductions, he announces his position as a pinch server. Taken aback by this unorthodox declaration, other members introduce themselves: wing spiker Jouji Mashira, setter Ibuki Matsukata, and libero Susumu Kaneda. It turns out, in middle school, all three of them were players chosen to represent the Tokyo prefecture. Alongside talented teammates, Kanna will need to work incredibly hard to achieve his goal of becoming a starter—unless he has a hidden skill.

More sports and underdogs? Generic as hell, sign me in! If you are a sucker for depictions of team play and growing stronger together you might want to give Harigane Service a shot. As of today, it hasn’t been fully translated though, and you should note that this is only the first part of the story which continues in Harigane Service Ace and is still ongoing.

Harigane Service is a manga that has a potential to be a mainstream sports manga title. I love the character development of the protagonist Kanna and I also love how the story progress.

All in all, its a good read and I hope that everyone who like Haikyuu or other sports anime can give this manga a go :)

An entertaining, slightly over the top volleyball manga. If Haikyuu!! is the gold standard then this is running second, though can still be very enjoyable.

It's still early on but there's been some intrigue built into the plot. Given that this is published monthly, I think that some parts that ran for a few chapters could have been condensed into 1 or 2 to keep the pacing moving along and interest up.

The action scenes are very well done and a highlight of the series. Most characters have a distinctive design and personality; some are more extreme than others and could be seen as annoying, but may ...
