The best-selling series from Eisner-nominated Takehiko Inoue, one of Japan’s greatest manga creators. 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. 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. 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. 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...

One of the more iconic of sports manga. It's the first series where I actually both read the manga and watched the anime. It has flawed protagonists, growing up pains, colourful characters, and beautiful meaningful relationships, all neatly wrapped around the context of college basketball.
Raramente mi son sentito così tanto coinvolto già all'inizio di un manga. Il protagonista è un classico dei manga, però è veramente simpatico e divertente. Ci sono situazioni veramente esilaranti, mi è capitato spesso di ridere di gusto. Secondo me, pur non essendo esperto, i disegni son veramente impressionanti, soprattutto per il taglio realistico e i movimenti così “naturali”, ed infine le caricature dei personaggi danno quel tocco di grazia che lo rende un manga veramente simpatico.
