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?
With seven minutes left in the second half, Shohoku slowly chips away at
Sannoh' s large lead thanks to Sakuragi's rebounds. But Sannoh's star
player Sawakita isn't going to sit still for that! Faced with an
apparently unstoppable opponent, Rukawa and Sakuragi both have to dig
deep to understand themselves and their own game, and become the
basketball players they were meant to be!
