Kurasuno Volleyball Team
My boyfriend adores this anime and I don't blame him. I think everyone should watch a sports anime from time to time. And frankly, I think this is the one you want. It doesn't have too much romance, just the good old fashioned sport. Even if you don't know much about volleyball, the anime does a good job of explaining the basics.
Our story begins with Hinata, a new high school student who just made the transition from middle school to high school. He's super short, but his dream is to be a great volleyball player. The high school he attends, Karasuno, used to have a great volleyball team, but at the moment the team is ranked one of the lowest in the district. The anime focuses on the volleyball team as they learn to work together in order to make it to the top once again.
This anime is pretty clean, no girls in promiscuous clothes, no sex jokes, and only occasional swearing. The characters are funny, and its just an all around enjoyable anime. Hinata and his teammate Kageyama butt heads all the time and eventually learn how to work together. Seeing the two of them interact is honestly one of my favorite parts of the anime.
My favorite episodes are the ones when Kurasuno plays against the school team Nekoma. The teammates on Nekoma have similar personalities to those at Kurasuno, and seeing Nekoma and Kurasuno get together is always lots of fun and filled with laughs.

Haikyuu!! manga cover
Like most anime series, Haikyuu!! is also a manga. I haven't read much of it, but if manga is more up your alley be my guest and try it out! I definitely recommend this series for anyone who likes realistic anime and wants something new.
