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

Chapter 626 Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, it turns out they are a perfect couple!

Despite his worsening injuries, Sakuragi Hanamichi was determined to finish the battle with Sannoh and finally won.

But he had to miss the following games.

After defeating Sanno Industrial, Shohoku was eliminated in the following tournament due to excessive physical exhaustion and Sakuragi Hanamichi's injury. They were eliminated in the top 16 of the national tournament and could not go further.

“We won the Sanwang, but lost the national tournament?”

"No way? It's over?"

"How can it be?!"

The fans' hearts, which were excited by Sakuragi Hanamichi's crucial goal, suddenly cooled down.

The next chapter is about ten days later.

The five players of the Xiangbei team each have their own destination.

Sakuragi Hanamichi recuperates at the seaside, while Rukawa Kaede goes to the U.S. alone. The two say goodbye tenderly at the seaside, with Rukawa Kaede promising to come back, while Sakuragi Hanamichi continues to work hard to recover.

Of course, the warmth between the two is a deliberate CP perspective by the fans. In fact, the scene is that Rukawa Kaede shows off the JAPAN national team uniform in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, provoking this rival.

The ending of "Slam Dunk" has instantly made the comics world lively.

Countless comic fans expressed their opinions, and the number of posts on the forum reached a record high.

This is also a feast for the new era media, with a large number of comic critics expressing their opinions.

[A memory worthy of youth! Although the game was lost, the decisive cooperation between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede has become a classic scene, reflecting the tacit understanding and growth between them. This is the most beautiful memory of youth. Even if they grow up or even get old in the future, they will smile knowingly when they recall this moment. ]

[Regret and reality coexist! This ending makes many people feel regretful, but it is also closer to reality and truly shows the imperfections of youth. I think youth is always full of regrets, and this regret is the charm of youth. ]

【Shingo Oda is not only a great devil in the comics world, but also a responsible manga artist! From the perspective of plot logic, Xiangbei has reached a climax after defeating Sanno. If they continue to win, it will lose some suspense and tension. Moreover, such an ending is in line with the cruelty and uncertainty of basketball games, allowing readers to feel the reality and intensity of the game. 】

[Slam Dunk is a masterpiece. The imperfection of this cruel defeat in reality makes this comic infinitely close to perfection! ]

【Money or masterpiece? Mr. Oda chose the latter! He could have serialized hundreds of chapters and earned more profits, but Mr. Oda did not choose to continue serializing. Although everyone knows that making money is not shameful, he maintained the dignity of a cartoonist! 】

The comic critic also criticized some cartoonists who shamelessly released countless sequels, saying that they had given up their facial features for the sake of copyright fees.

Comic critics use their reviews to attract traffic, and comic fans express their love for the work through their actions.

The sales of Slam Dunk peripheral products have reached their peak. Not to mention the figures, even the most common and popular stationery peripheral products are sold out!

The school's basketball team received a lot of applications. When many newcomers were asked why they joined the basketball team, they would answer arrogantly: "Because I'm a genius!"

Some people are more reserved and will answer seriously: "Because I am a basketball player."

Then, these newcomers were scolded as pigs by the old members.

"Asshole! Do you think the basketball club is the place for you to express your love for comics?"

"This is a holy place watered with tears and sweat!"

"This is definitely not a place where you can just stand firm by saying a few lines!"

"Follow the training for a week first, then stand up straight and say such things!"

After venting their dissatisfaction, many old members of the basketball club looked smugly at the younger generations who bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes after being scolded by them.

In Japan, there is a strict hierarchy between the old and the young. It is completely natural for seniors to scold juniors, and it can even be considered as care and protection for the younger generation.

Faced with these bragging juniors, the old members could almost foresee the fate of the newcomers after a few days of training:

They will submit their resignation application again! Sports are not such a wonderful existence! After the momentary enthusiasm, there will only be boring training and endless fatigue. By then, they will disappear without anyone having to chase them away!

However, things did not develop as they expected.

Almost all the newcomers in the basketball team stayed!

But the reason is not that they can endure hardship, but that there are many girls watching the basketball team’s training and games on the sidelines!

"Wow! This layup is pretty good, is it Sakuragi's commoner layup?"

"The boys really throw the ball with one hand. We girls can't do that."

"Basketball is really pretty. Boys look great when they're doing it."

There are often girls chattering on the sidelines, which makes the boys' hormones and adrenaline surge.

Well, money and beauty are the driving forces of human progress. No, career and love are the driving forces of human progress. So playing basketball with girls cheering can really make a group of silly boys play for their lives.

Basketball is rapidly gaining popularity in various parts of Japan, and even the ratings of the professional league, which used to be deserted, are rising rapidly. Not to mention that the TV stations broadcasting the NBA are so happy that they can't stop smiling.

Even in China, there was a basketball craze. In the basketball courts that were previously occupied by other sports, groups of people played basketball, and some people even started to form teams spontaneously.

The happiest people were the marketing department of Springfield Books. The sales of Hua Xia's peripherals were better than they expected. They thought that the Hua Xia market was a copyright barren land, but the peripheral profit data brought them dazzled their eyes.

Even at the cosplay activities in the imperial capital and the magic capital, a large number of "Slam Dunk" cosplayers appeared. Among them, Akagi Haruko was the most common. After all, female cosplayers have always been the main force, but the quality varies.

The problem is that Ohkuma Haruko appeared, which caused controversy for a while. Even Japanese comic fans saw the deep ravines of the Chinese version of Haruko's female cosplayer and said:
"Why is Haruko so full of information?"

"A man like Haruko can't be the manager of the basketball club because the players can't concentrate on playing basketball, right?"

On Oda Shingo's side, some discussions occurred among the girls.

During dinner, Yuko Mikami suddenly made a suggestion: "Teacher Oda, can you consider publishing a special chapter between Sakuragi and Haruko?"

"Give a conclusion to their love?" Oda Shingo said with a smile.

Yuko Mikami nodded vigorously: "Yes, I hope that Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko can have a conclusion, even if the confession is rejected. At least I think many comic fans think so."

Oda Shingo just thought about it for a moment, then turned to ask Namikaze Yuzuru and Fujido Kaoru: "What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm more concerned about whether Shohoku can win against Sannoh." Fujido Kaoru said casually.

Namikaze Yuzuru shook his head gently: "Yuko, you don't understand Shingo's intention. In fact, the answer is already in Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance on the spot."

"Ah?" Yuko Mikami didn't react for a moment.

Namikaze Yuzuru continued to explain: "Sakuragi Hanamichi put his hands on her shoulders and said, "I like it very much. This time I'm not lying." That's it."

"... Could it be that... I seem to understand something..."

"Well, he said that his attention was completely focused on basketball, and his heart was filled with basketball. Even in the picture, Haruko looked very similar to Akagi Takenori, and for the first time, they looked like brother and sister."

"Ah, that's right!" Yuko Mikami suddenly realized, "This means that in Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes, Akagi Haruko no longer has a filter."

Oda Shingo affirmed: "Yes, there is a saying in China, 'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.'"

"I understand a little bit." Fujido Kacheng also nodded beside him, "But who is Xishi?"

"If you are not good at studying, go and learn it yourself." Oda Shingo rolled his eyes at her.
