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?
It's the second half of Shohoku's debut game in the National
Championship. Toyotama boasts the top three scorers from the Osaka
regionals, and they're bent on nothing less than crushing Shohoku! But
Coach Anzai's got a plan: steal the ball, run and score, facing
Toyotama's run-and-gun style head on! If Shohoku can't beat Toyotama at
their best game, what chance do they have of beating last year's
champion Sannoh in the next round?
