Haikyuu is one of my favorite manga series. It's an amazing sports story about high school volleyball players with an incredible time skip ending arc.

However, I'm a Dad with four kids and I can't afford the cost or space to buy all 45 volumes.

About 2 years ago, after seeing a friend get it, I picked up a copy of the Japanese language art book for Haikyuu. It's gorgeous and includes some incredible art from the manga, silly poses of our cast, and a wide assortment of full color pictures.

This gives me a nice taste of one of my favorite series' art

#MangaMonday 19 “Sketchy” by Makihirochi (sometimes rendered Maki Hirochi)

There are #manga about skateboarding, and there are manga about thirty-something women taking stock of their lives. In the tiny sliver of Venn overlap between them, there is #Sketchy.

Everything happens because some skater girls try to rent the skateboarding drama “Lords of Dogtown”, only to find it’s out and overdue. The bored video store clerk is intrigued by the girls. She takes a class in skateboarding and then brings her co-worker along. Meanwhile, a disgraced editor discovers the DVD, left at her house by an ex. She’s touched by the movie and ends up at the same class as the other two. Along the way we get everyone’s backstory.

The actual skateboarding is like a secondary character so far. It gets a few chapters of focus (and you could learn the basics from them) but usually hovers in the background.

Complete with two of six volumes available digitally in English (Kodansha.) The third drops next week.
