I have nothing against the concept of the main team losing, in fact, I think it was a bold idea (considering this was released in the 90s), and it's more realistic since we're used to see the main team winning in mainstream media. My ONLY (small) complain is something about the ending. Well, I don't have anything to criticize this manga for because it was wonderful from begining to end. Notes: Received the 40th Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen in 1995. This epilogue later published in a special documentary book and Switch magazine in 2005. To commemorate the 100 Million sales of the series, a one-shot called “10 Days After” was drawn by the author in a classroom at Kanagawa Prefectural Misaki High School in December 2004. A hopeless bruiser, he's been rejected by 50 girls in a row! All that changes when he meets the girl of his dreams, Haruko, and she's actually not afraid of him! When she introduces him to the game of basketball, his life is changed forever. Hanamichi Sakuragi's got no game with girls-none at all! It doesn't help that he's known for throwing down at a moment's notice and always coming out on top. They have one last year to make their captain's dream of reaching the finals come true-will they do it? Takehiko Inoue's legendary beloved basketball manga is finally here and the tale of a lifetime is in your hands.

Winning isn't everything in the game of basketball, but who wants to come in second? It takes dedication and discipline to be the best, and the Shohoku High hoops team wants to be just that.
