Jump Festa 2026 has concluded, with many fans wrapping up the event in a frenzy of excitement. Particular attention was drawn to a special illustration titled 'Hinata-Mamire' (Hinata All Over), newly drawn by Haruichi Furudate-sensei, the author of 'Haikyu!!'.

This illustration depicted various forms of the protagonist, Shoyo Hinata, and fans flooded social media with joyful comments such as 'Is it okay to see so many different Hinatas? Isn't this too much of a reward?', 'Thank you, Furudate-sensei!', and 'The Hinata compilation art is amazing, Furudate-sensei is incredible.' Specific descriptions, like 'To think we could see "Baby Hinata"!' and 'Shoyo-kun as vice-captain is also there,' sparked widespread emotion, with an unending stream of grateful fans exclaiming, 'Too precious!' and 'Tears are overflowing!'

Furudate-sensei's illustrations are consistently highly praised for their delicate brushwork and deep affection for the characters. This 'Hinata-Mamire' illustration was no exception, delighting fans who eagerly awaited its appearance with comments like 'I'm so happy that Furudate-sensei's illustrations keep coming out like this every time,' and 'Seeing new art from Furudate-sensei brings joy to my life.'

The context

Jump Festa is an annual festival in Japan dedicated to manga and anime, primarily from Weekly Shonen Jump and other Shueisha magazines. It features announcements of new projects, merchandise, and appearances by manga artists and voice actors. 'Haikyu!!' is an incredibly popular volleyball manga series written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate, which has also been adapted into a highly successful anime. Shoyo Hinata is the enthusiastic and passionate protagonist of the series. 'Furudate-sensei' is a respectful way to refer to the author, Haruichi Furudate. The term 'Hinata-Mamire' roughly translates to 'covered in Hinata' or 'Hinata all over,' indicating an illustration dense with many depictions of the character. Mentions of 'Baby Hinata' and 'Vice-captain Hinata' refer to different ages or potential future roles of the character, which are particularly exciting for long-time fans.
