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

Chapter 622: New publication of Springfield Books?!

After Rukawa Kaede competed with Mitsui Shou, Sakuragi Hanamichi proposed a one-on-one competition with him.

Mu Mu and Mitsui Shou were very kind and asked the other players to leave the field, closed the court, and left only the two of them to compete alone.

After opening the door of the training ground, Rukawa Kaede walked out in a dashing manner.

"How was it?" "Did you hold back?" Mu Mu and Mitsui Shou guessed the result, but still asked.

Rukawa Kaede said disdainfully: "How is that possible?"

On the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi leaned on the ground with his hands, unable to stand up due to the blow.

Comic fans laughed when they saw this.

It makes sense that even if Sakuragi Hanamichi is a genius, he cannot defeat Rukawa Kaede, who has practiced hard for many years and is also a genius.

Sakuragi Hanamichi started his hellish training.

20,000 goals! When the team went to another place for training, Coach Anzai left Sakuragi Hanamichi alone to start special training.

Seeing the hard work of Sakuragi Hanamichi on the screen, the fans were very pleased.

“Youth must have the smell of sweat.”

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is a genius. If he can calm down and practice hard, he will definitely get good results."

They are looking forward to Sakuragi Hanamichi having his moment to shine, and they believe that he will definitely have the opportunity to shine!
The draw for the national competition.

Since Shohoku was the second team in the county to advance to the national tournament, their draw ranking was not good and they would face seeded team Sannoh in the second round.

Shohoku's first opponent is Touou High School.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and others should worry about the opponents in the first round first. No team is a weak team in the national competition.

The Touou team is a group of problem children, not like the Shohoku team, but the most rogue team.

Not to mention the ethics of the game, he even had no respect for his own coach.

What they are looking forward to is the return of the former coach.

Rukawa Kaede was hit in the face by an elbow from the opposing player named Nan. After leaving the court for treatment, he was temporarily unable to see with his left eye.

Even though he had difficulty defending due to half of his vision loss and lacked a sense of distance, Rukawa still insisted on playing.

"I won't give in at all!"

Even when shooting free throws, he simply closed his eyes and shot the basketball relying on his body's memory.

"Rukawa Kaede is quite handsome!"

“He was handsome.”

"I mean, this time, he played despite being injured, and dared to shoot with his eyes closed. He was very courageous!"

Rukawa Kaede's popularity suddenly soared.

In the "Slam Dunk" comic forum, countless female fans suddenly appeared, yelling "Rukawa-san" and starting to show all kinds of close-up shots of him.

Although the times caused Rukawa Kaede to lose some of his luster at the beginning, the character's highlights are still dazzling.

Girls are starting to get interested in this character. After all, Rukawa Kaede's looks are very much in line with women's tastes, and his personality is that of a cool guy with dead fish eyes that was more likable in the last world, and he can be considered a retro handsome guy in this era.

As a result, two male characters appeared competing for favor on the official ranking list of Yahoo Comics.

Some male comic fans also voted for Rukawa Kaede, who shined in this issue, causing Sakuragi Hanamichi's votes to be on par with him.

"Oh no! The match at Sanwang hasn't even started yet and the female tennis fans are here first."

"Have the three personal guards of Rukawa Kaede in the comics been expanded into reality?"

"Didn't you notice? When we entered the finals of the county competition, Rukawa Kaede's personal guards appeared in the plot."

"Of course I didn't notice. This is a basketball sports comic. Who's interested in girls?"

"Well said. By the way, girls like Haruko can only be found in comics."

The style of painting in the comics forum suddenly changed.

"Brothers, don't let that pretty boy Rukawa take the top spot!" "Brother Hanamichi's position is up to us!"

"Don't be outdone by the girls. How can a girl-pleasing character like Rukawa Kaede be better than our Sakuragi Hanamichi?!"

The comic fans actually spontaneously started a vote to defend the so-called male dignity, and ruthlessly suppressed the newly emerging trend of female comic fans.

As a result, early the next morning, Sakuragi Hanamichi's votes were far ahead of Rukawa Kaede by half.

Compared to the voting situation in another world, Japan has experienced an era of men lying down, and the otakus' defense battle has been particularly fierce.

However, there is a male character that has unexpectedly emerged and quietly ranked tenth in the male character rankings.

Yasuda from the Shohoku High School basketball team!

The poor little unknown person whose number plate was snatched away by Sakuragi Hanamichi, is most often seen being bullied and showing expressions of worry, astonishment, ecstasy, and sadness.

It can be said that Yasuda is a human background board.

But when fighting against Touou, he really made a shining appearance.

It is worth mentioning that in the mobile games on Earth, most of his statistics are not impressive, but his low layup has reached a terrifying number of 100.

But in the comics, he is not tall, not fast, and his pitching is average, but he is very strong in implementing techniques and tactics.

Touou is a typical high-attack, low-defense team. Coach Anzai saw through the opponent's problems and arranged for him to play in order to prevent the Xiangbei team from being drawn into Touou's fast pace.

"Don't be impatient! Take your time with this ball."

Yasuda calmed his teammates' emotions and slowed down the pace of the entire team.

Touou was not able to adapt to Shohoku's changes and began to lose rhythm.

It can be said that this outstanding performance was unexpected by many comic fans.

It was originally said that the Xiangbei team's bench was too weak, and I didn't expect this character to appear here.

Comic fans also identify very strongly with this character, and many even feel that he is their own shadow in the plot.

[Don’t you think we are all Yasuda?]
[I didn’t expect someone to feel the same way as me. Yasuda could actually influence the game. I am just a nobody.]
[It’s very similar to how I was in the team, being bullied by my seniors. It’s just that I haven’t had my chance to shine yet.]
So, in the top ten character rankings of the comics list, there was an unexpected addition, the "Invisible Yasuda".

Some school clubs also have new recruitment slogans.

"Join the basketball club! I consider myself a Yasuda, but I can contribute my own color to the basketball youth!"

"Well said! I am also a little-known figure in the basketball team. I want to give a thumbs up to Mr. Oda for his shining performance in this plot!"

"This scene is really great! When I watched it, I was as excited as when Sakuragi scored a goal!"

“It turns out that ordinary people like us also have the opportunity to shine on the basketball court.”

"Come join the basketball team. We all have a chance to shine and have girls cheer for us. This may only happen once in a lifetime!"

I don’t know how many short boys have joined the basketball team because of this story about Shingo Oda.

This episode of "Slam Dunk" has ended, and the next plot is the battle between Xiangbei and Sannoh.

As the previous champion, the difficulty of Sanwang is self-evident.

"Does no one care about the plot? After defeating Touou, it's Sannoh!"

"It's too difficult to defeat the mountain king."

"I'm anxious to see it, but I know it's useless to rush."

"But I'm in a hurry! I really want to read the new series!"

But at this time, there was a piece of gossip that attracted special attention.

Springfield Books plans to launch a new comics magazine!

If this had happened a dozen years ago, it wouldn't have been surprising.

But in the current situation where print media is so vulgar, it is simply hard to believe.

But the rumor is very convincing, and it also points out that Oda Shingo will have a new work to be published in a new publication to support it!
