Two beloved anime series produced by the same studio are joining forces: Haikyuu!!, based on the manga by Haruichi Furudate, and Rilakkuma have officially announced a collaboration titled Rilakkuma × Haikyuu!!. Both series are produced by Production I.G, which has also created 12 brand-new original visuals exclusively for the crossover.
12 Original Collaboration Visuals
The newly drawn artwork pairs characters from five schools in Haikyuu!! — Karasuno, Aoba Josai, Nekoma, Fukurodani, and Inarizaki — alongside Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and their friends in warm, charming scenes.
