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?
Shoyo's ace, Fujima, drops himself into the lineup and quickly helps his
team retake the lead from Shohoku, and despite struggling with fatigue,
Mitsui stays on the floor as well. Realizing that they are the keys to
winning the game, Coach Anzai focuses on both Mitsui's scoring finesse
and Hanamichi's monstrous rebounding, but with only five minutes left on
the game clock, Shohoku will need to deliver, and fast. Which player
will ignite the spark that will carry Shohoku on to victory? And does
Mitsui have enough stamina left to hit some crucial three-pointers?
