“Slam Dunk” is a basketball-themed manga by Takehiko Inoue serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1990 to 1996. Slam Dunk” is a story centered on basketball and high school life, depicting the characters’ growth, friendship, competition, and love. The growth of the main character, Hanamichi Sakuragi, is depicted through his passion for basketball and the bonds he shares with his teammates, touching many readers. The episodes depict the stifling tension in games, the importance of teamwork, and the obsession with winning, and have been hailed as a milestone in sports manga. One scene in “Slam Dunk” that has left a strong impression on many fans is the inter-high school qualifying final game between Shohoku High School and Sanno Kogyo. In particular, Hanamichi Sakuragi’s pure passion for basketball and dedication to his team, as well as his decisive dunk scene in the final minutes of the game, symbolize his strong will to win and the importance of bonding with his friends. Readers will witness his evolution and be impressed by his underlying sportsmanship. It is moments like these that make “Slam Dunk” one of the most memorable sports manga of all time. I also found the ending of the final volume to be very engaging. This is because, in general, sports manga usually end with a happy ending after winning a national tournament or other competition. However, in this “Slam Dunk,” the semi-finals are made the most interesting. And the finals are not depicted and the fact that the team lost easily is depicted in a recollection style. Also. This story is about the first year of high school, and the sophomores and juniors are also easily digested. And their post-high school career paths are also unknown. I felt that this gives the reader a sense of fragility and freedom of imagination at the same time. The way the last volume ends allow readers to discuss various imaginations. I felt this was one of the charms of the book. In this regard, I felt that “Slam Dunk” has a lot of tricks to entertain readers.
