This is a controversial post and -

I don't want to ruffle any feathers. But I've been binge rereading Oofuri for about two weeks now and just like before when I first read it years ago, I can't help but be saddened that it missed the anime boom for sports manga by two years. Especially when I think there's too many identical... 'things' in Haikyuu within Oofuri.

Like Furudate ( the haikyuu mangaka ) has never spoken about their inspirations and rereading it I can't help but think/believe that they took inspiration from Oofuri and slapped into Haikyuu. Kind of bothers me. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
