What is Komori Motoya?
What is IwaOi (Iwaizumi x Oikawa)?

This is a Time Travel fic in which ASAS Sao Paolo Hinata Shouyou meets the Pre-Karasuno team. It has 211k+ hits.
What is Heal our Wings?
This character has the most works in the AO3 Tag 'Angst'
What is Oikawa Tooru?
This ship is in the top 10 ships. It's kind of like a side-ship to one of the top five Haikyuu ships. I personally feel that it is better when they are shipped with other characters, because they don't interact as much as all the other top ships and are only on the same team pre-timeskip. They rarely appear in the same scenes, too. (sorry for vent)
What is OsaSuna (Osamu x Suna)?
This ship contains two people who were never on the same team before. Two of their teammates notably are on the same team post-timeskip. Post-timeskip, neither of these characters plays volleyball. This ship often has food involved in the setup.
What is OsaAka (Osamu x Akaashi)?
This trope has 850+ works in it. It is centered around Unrequited Love.
This is a popular assassin AU that has 39k+ hits and 1k+ kudos. The main ship is SakuAtsu, with background OsaSuna. It finished in January 2025.
What is The Jackel & The Fox?
This movie is what led the Haikyuu Fandom to come back!
What is Haikyuu: Battle at the Garbage Dump
This ship has been popular for a long time, it's always one of the most read ships, but never the most. One of the people in this ship is a setter. They are oftened shipped because of their healthy dynamic (they aren't enemies).
What is BokuAka (Bokuto x Akaashi)?
This ship features two people who seem to hate each other in the anime. They are in the same year. Their team faced Karasuno many times in practice matches. They only had one official match against them, though.
What is KuroYaku (Kuroo x Yaku?)
This is the tag that I feel has the emotion-based stories (Trigger Warning for people who are sensitive to angsty things, click ESC if you don't want to see the answer)
What is Suicide Attempt Tag?
This is the title of the E-rated Haikyuu fanfic with the most hits.
This non-Haikyuu fandom has the most crossovers with Haikyuu according to ao3.
In my opinion, this is the most TRENDING ship in 2025 (opinion, it's not the ship with the most tags of all time)

This ship features to people on the same team pre-timeskip. This team competed against Karasuno in an official match. These players were both on the National Japan Volleyball Team Post Timeskip. This ship has gained more interest recently.

What is ATSU101: how to fall in love with your fake boyfriend?
