HAIKYUU!! GONE WILD:A HQ!! Animal Zine

ABOUT

This zine is a charity project supporting the Wildlife Conservation Network. Our goal is to share our love for Haikyuu!! and all types of animals (mammals, birds, reptiles, and others!) by showcasing their interactions with each other. Haikyuu!! characters and schools are often symbolized through their associated animal mascots or metaphorical imagery, and the theme of this zine encourages artists and writers to expand upon these concepts!As of December 2023, this project is complete. Thank you to our team and all our supporters for raising $2,428 for animals around the world!For questions about leftover items or digital zines, contact Mod Cara!
