It had such SlamDunkish feeling, I loved it. Inoue sees himself in Nomiya, I believe so. Many things to anticipate in the future. What a great piece of art.

I'm so hopeful and proud of Takahashi. Too bad there wasn't much of him in this volume. I still appreciated more of the Nomiya backstory though, he played with a lot of heart during the tryouts. Looking forward to the next chapters!

Now we know how Nomiya transformed from being the bullied into being the bully. LOLjk. But I am really loving how Nomiya is improving himself, which takes a lot of courage and dedication. Now we also know how he got into basketball. :>

I don't know why I've been avoiding this manga until now. I just finished everything in one go and I just gotta say that... this is a masterpiece if I've ever read one. I'm at a loss for words here. I've never read a more mature manga, and never something that's made me question the way I'm living my life to this extent.

If I'd have to say what was best about this manga, the pure enjoyment would be quite far down the list. Because even though it's enjoyable, the message that it delivers is very, very powerful. And as someone who can often get self-centered and maybe a bit narrow minded, I think this manga has broadened my perceptions. I at least know that I won't be looking at disabled people the same again. And concealed in this cloud of words, stirred up by this story and swirling around in my head, I'm sure there's a great life lesson to be learned.

So yeah, maybe I'm cheeky, but this manga really touched me emotionally.

That was just so powerful... This manga is just so incredible, no words can explain how much it means to me.

It's a little weird to say this but I'm so happy Inoue-sensei decided to become a mangaka and is constantly challenging himself. Vagabond and Slam Dunk were already masterpieces but he challenged himself even more with this work.

(Btw I loved that Kiyoharu was there to pick Nomiya up at that specific place, as if Hugo had returned or as if Kiyoharu's his successor and will guide Nomiya to his new path, just like Hugo awoke Nomiya's love for basketball)

(I'm still afraid that Kiyoharu's disease will return at the worst possible moment)

Junichi believes that Nomiya has potential and his determination to not give up plus his advice from earlier helped the others counter Yoshiki's unstoppable offense. Even though he displayed such courage, he wasn't chosen as a member of the Tokyo Lightnings but it's for the best since he knew that he has a long way to go now that he felt the gap between his skills to a professional's. It's actually a challenge for him to get better and come back stronger with a heart that's just as strong!

Togawa's a real pal for helping him deal with the rejection.

he didn't get the spot but he was chosen into "top" 10 players from tryouts, which means he has potential, he just needs to work harder, and eventually, he will be there. I am sure.

I got some Slam Dunk vibes, not gonna lie.

Bro is LAID OUT. Got his ankles broke so hard that he started getting PTSD flashbacks of his motorcycle accident. But you know what, he got back up feeling joyous right after that. Thats my boy.

Unfortunate that he couldnt make it on the lightnings, but im not sure what else i was expecting. nomiya was simply outclassed in every way possible except for his GOLDEN heart. Hopefully he can improve even further in basketball since he has mad potential as a point guard. He's also only 18 years old! Bro is fresh out of high school and doesn't have much experience yet, there's an entire milky way's room for growth. Knowing nomiya's pure determination, im sure he'll pull through in the future....hopefully he doesnt give up hope for his path.

I get it. I really do.
I did Jiu jitsu and i was like Nomiya, lots of heart and dedication but no real success. It just hits me seeing what this chapter was trying to say, it's not about getting to the top it's about being the best you. This manga in general is way too real for me.
