Just amazing all around. Great characters, fun and intense basketball games, and important character moments for all involved. I loved how even some of the more minor members of the team got to shine and Sakuragi and Rukawa's rivalry is one of my favourites.

The artstyle is just fantastic. Inoue Takehiko can't be beat when it comes to realism and human emotion and conflict. It just looks and feels so real and it simply intensifies the emotions in a given moment. I just love it.

I'd suggest this to anyone interested in a great sports manga or story in general. An arrogant but loveable main character ... who grows throughout the series in terms of having his determination tested and forced to work with folks he naturally clashes with.
