If you liked Eyeshield 21, you will definitely appreciate the humor in Kuroko no Basuke. Both feature light-hearted yet competitive atmospheres, and Kuroko no Basuke puts an interesting twist in the over-used (yet still so dear to my heart) weak-character-discovers-a-sport-and-becomes-a-star theme. Instead of featuring a weak character who is struggling to find where he belongs, Kuroko no Basuke has a character who seems weak, but is actually very grounded and secure in his abilities and his future. In any case, his "weak" stature is actually his secret weapon in basketball. Kuroko's blank stares and invisible presence are also to die for. The chapters in both of these mangas fly by, so be sure not to let the length of either one put you off. You just can't miss either of them.

Naive yet fiercely loyal and moral boy is fighting against "evil," yet can't truly bring himself to hate this "evil," as he soon comes to find that there is good and bad no matter which side he is fighting for, and that it all ultimately boils down to the fact that we are all still human. Expect to find good development of side characters, shonen-esque art, classic (though sometimes a bit mary-sue) fights, and struggles to become stronger for one's friends.
