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 grow on you.
There's an annoying tendency after just about anything happens for a reaction shot of the main character in the very next panel. It's as predictable as the "dramatic" sound drops on reality TV. Count how many times Shimodaira goes ":OOOOOOOOOOOOO" after a spike for yourself!
Overall, this is well worth reading if you're a fan of Haikyuu!! or sports manga in general.
