| Mangaka:
Hiroyuki Asada 10 Volumes (as of 2001.7.15) Serialized in: Monthy Shonen Jump (Shueisha Inc.) STORY The story is basically about a talented basketball player, Tachibana Akane who decides to quit playing after the last game at his junior high school. His reason: "It's boring." On the other end, we have another natural-born basketball player, Hiiragi Hitonari who also quits playing the sport. His reason is that he doesn't want to be constantly in the shadows of his older brother who plays college basketball. However, by fate, these two got together in the same high school and later ended up in the same ECA-basketball. Their passion for the game starts to come back again, into their lives, as they realise their desires and dreams through each other. This manga not only stands out in its intriguing story plotlines, the characterisation artwork is very remarkable too. The details, from facial expressions to body figures, from foreground to background designs, are truly impressive and amazing. Asada-kun definitely knows his dimensions thoroughly. In addition to the two main characters, supporting characters are just as interesting too. There are also inserts of side-plots for vigorous character treatment and an extra boost to the entire story. All in all, I'll
is one great manga series not to ne missed.
