Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 608 This is "SLAMDUNK"!
There are already a lot of fans gathered in front of the comic book store.

This is a group of people who came specifically for Slam Dunk.

Because last time "Champion" published 10 episodes in one go, the magazine serialization exceeded the official website of the Ministry of Culture.

This is very normal. In a place like Japan where capital commercialization is mature, no one finds it strange.

The Internet has long passed the free era, and the concept of paying for good things has long been forged through habits such as membership systems.

"This is the first match for Xiangbei High School. Although it is a friendly match, I want to see Sakuragi Hanamichi."

"It seems like there are girls who like Rukawa Kaede."

"That stuffy cool dude thing is outdated."

"But his good looks never go out of style, so it's normal for girls to like him."

"As for girls who want to read sports-themed comics, it's better to read comics about tennis. I remember it was very popular back then, and everyone claimed a husband for it."

"Sports should be exciting, full of muscle and sweat, not just for girls to see cool and handsome guys."

As the middle-aged boss of the comic book shop took down the door panel of the shop, he was still muttering: "Why are there so many people just for a sports comic book?"

"This sports comic is not ordinary." A comic fan explained to the boss with a smile.

The boss still knew the name of the super popular cartoonist: "Just because it's by Oda Shingo?"

The comic fan smiled and said, "Not only that, I think the protagonist is very charming and I want to watch him play."

"I want to see him make a fool of himself."

“It’s going to be hilarious!”

The fans burst into laughter.

"Didn't you say it was a sports comic? How did it become a comedy comic?"

"It's got everything. It feels like two for one."

The door opened and the comic fans entered in a very orderly manner.

This time is different from the Osaka Battle of "GANTZ" and the serialization of Super Saiyan in "Dragon Ball".

At that time, everyone was rushing in, and their hearts were itching.

However, the charm of "Slam Dunk" is relatively slow, and comic fans just think it is worth buying "Champion" for this comic. Although there is no urgency, they can't let go of the silly and funny red-haired boy in their hearts.

"Sakuragi, I feel like Sakuragi is my idol now."

"I don't know much about basketball either, but it's fun to watch Sakuragi."

"Sakuragi is hilarious, but Haruko... I don't like her that much."

"Why do we have to play basketball for women? When will we men fight for our dignity? Hell is empty, tears are streaming down my face."

His companion tapped him on the neck and said, "I know you are one of us, but I can't stop the 50-meter-long sword. You should be buried with honor."

"Basketball should keep women away."

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll put a accusation on you."

The comic fans drove and talked while they leisurely bought magazines and drinks, then sat together to read comics.

"This time, Mr. Oda's comics are not as attractive as before. Will the habit of reading comics live be weakened?"

"Everyone has already formed a habit. It's unlikely to change, right?"

"I think it's okay. At least I've made some friends. I used to be embarrassed. It's a bit embarrassing to read comics in public with others."

“Hahaha, now that there are so many people it can be considered a custom.”

They just started watching "Slam Dunk" by Shingo Oda as usual.

After all, no one thought that Oda Shingo would portray the game in a thrilling way.

After all, this is not a battle comic, not a passionate adventure comic, nor a tragic love comic about life and death.

In this episode of Slam Dunk, Ryonan’s genius Sendoh made his debut.

Uozumi, whose family runs a restaurant, and this big guy who has an old grudge against Akagi also makes an appearance.

Xiangbei was in a tough battle and was completely suppressed from the beginning, even reaching a huge score difference of 0:19.

Fortunately, Takenori Akagi and Rukawa Kaede performed bravely and brought back the team's momentum.

Sakuragi was unable to appear.

He could only be active off the court, such as shouting that he was a secret weapon, loudly scolding his senior Yasuda, pretending to be a thief to eavesdrop on the opponent's tactical arrangements, and giving the opponent's arrogant coach a "Thousand Years Kill".

This move makes the coach jump up when the defense is lost when he thinks about it.

In the second half, he finally warmed up and came on the field, but his body was stiff and nervous again.

Fortunately, he was woken up by a kick from Rukawa Kaede.

Chasing the ball! Chasing the ball! Sakuragi refused to give up any possession of the ball, even running out of bounds and pinning the opponent's head coach to the ground.

He was full of fighting spirit and dared to compete with Yuzumi on the rebounds. He even refused to pass the ball to Rukawa, but instead created several scoring opportunities for Murasaki. Without Akagi, Xiangbei's weakness of lacking rebounding control was exposed.

Coach Anzai and manager Ayako both noticed this big problem, and they were frowning but had no idea how to solve it.

The battle situation became increasingly unfavorable, and the pressure of Xiangbei's shooting and inability to grab rebounds had a great psychological impact on the players.

"Leave it to me!" Sakuragi Hanamichi stepped forward at this time.

But no one believed him.

Sakuragi's performance was obviously that of a beginner, so no one could place their hopes on him.

When the basketball bounced on the backboard again and failed to go in, the words that Akagi the gorilla had taught him echoed in Sakuragi's mind.

"Dominate the rebounds and take control of the court!"

Another missed shot. When Sendoh and Yuzumi were about to get the rebound, a figure jumped high...

"I'm the rebounding king Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

Sakuragi overpowers the Ryonan master and grabs the rebound!

In the bookstore, a comic fan suddenly stood up and waved his fist vigorously.

"awesome!"

Then he reacted.

"Oh, sorry, that's rude." He bowed quickly.

Japanese people are very averse to shouting and disturbing others in public.

But no one minded. The comic fans around him just glanced at him and then went back to reading.

Am I too easily excited? He calmed his breath and sat down with a little embarrassment.

But before he even sat down properly, he saw that his friend's arms were shaking and his eyes were wide open.

My friend was obviously suppressing his emotions as well.

"The rebounding king Sakuragi Hanamichi..." the friend suppressed his voice.

"Yeah, it feels great! So grabbing a rebound is so cool?"

Although Sakuragi grabbed the rebounds, the genius Sendoh started to play seriously and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Shohoku.

Sakuragi tried his best to stop Sendoh, and even after knocking the basketball away, he desperately tried to grab the out-of-bounds ball.

boom--

With a heavy bang, his head hit the wall.

But the next second, with blood on his forehead, he shouted "Damn it" and returned to the court by himself.

The game entered the last 40 seconds, Shohoku 84, Ryonan 85, only one point difference!
Rukawa was also dribbling with all his strength and retrieving the out-of-bounds ball.

However, the message was accidentally passed to Sakuragi Hanamichi who happened to arrive.

Now it's time to dunk!

For a moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi thought of his own majestic dunk.

But soon, he remembered what Haruko taught him: "Put it gently into the basket..."

At this moment, Sakuragi wanted to be the center of attention.

It's the desire for the team's victory and the hopes of everyone on his shoulders.

Sakuragi did not use the dunk method to show off, but instead used a common three-step layup and gently put the ball in.

Xiangbei 86!

Overtake!!!

"I am indeed a genius--!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said proudly.

However, the genius Sendoh took advantage of Xiangbei's momentary slackness and staged a quick counterattack in the last few seconds.

Just now, Sakuragi looked at Sendoh's performance in disbelief.

The outcome is unpredictable until the last moment.

In the bookstore, no comic fans suddenly cheered loudly.

Comic fans felt their hands holding the "Champion" magazine trembling slightly.

The extremely smooth comic storyboards present a thrilling and exciting game with many twists and turns to all comic fans!

Some emotional people stood up suddenly and waved their fists, but they didn't know what to shout.

But there is a feeling stirring in my heart:
So this is basketball?
That's right.

This is, SLAMDUNK!
