Finished this masterpiece, what a ride

One of the best drawn manga ive ever read, but its inoue so what was i expecting. Movement is presented so well that you can almost feel the weight of the characters pushing eachother, jumping, running and so on. Paneling makes the games flow so clearly in the head and it leaves nothing to interpretation, feels like reading anime as stupid as it sounds.

Hanamichi truly is one of the goat protagonists, and is in a way the essence of the manga. Man joins the basketball club just to get some p**** and ends up enamoured with the game and it happens without you even realizing it. Such a natural character progression is rare and its truly felt, especially since both the characters and the reader go from making fun of him to admiring and feeling inspired by him. The side characters are all impactful to the story, with nobody really being left behind, some unexpectedly being protagonists of quite important scenes. Rukawa of course is the most important to the story because of his rivalry with sakuragi, which is one of my favorite parts of the manga especially for one reason that i cant talk about cause of spoilers.

All the games are intense, unpredictable and evoke the same feelings a real basketball game would. I tend to try and predict story bits but with slam dunk i never could predict the winner and it made me so happy. This is especially cause not only the protagonist isnt at all even in the conversation of the best players in the manga, but the team is also full of nobodies that the big players don't even know, and in fact shohoku doesnt always win, far from it, they're not the usual underdog that beats all the odds and wins every time, and that's great because it makes the wins important and deservedand rather than just another step into a predictable ending. They're never truly respected, even after reaching important goals, being treated at times even as enemies, so the reader feels intimately close to the team and genuinely roots for them.

Im not gonna talk about anything towards the ending cause its too good to even briefly spoil so yeah

All in all as a fan of the sport its become easily one of my favorite manga of all time and its something that will be with me for the rest of my life, but im sure even non basketball fans will come to love it, as the story's biggest strength is easily the passion for basketball that all the characters, but most importantly the author, and its quite infective as the series is filled to the brim with it, from the first to the last panel.

Took me a while to read it but last volume came out last week and i had to experience it in physical form cause the art is too damn good
