SLAM DUNK [スラムダンク]

Inoue Takehiko's Slam Dunk (1991–1996) is the definitive basketball manga, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump and collected in 31 volumes. It follows the Shohoku High School team's journey from underdogs to national contenders, anchored by the explosive growth of delinquent-turned-player Hanamichi Sakuragi. With its kinetic art, deep bench of rival players, and masterful blend of comedy and high-stakes sports drama, the series revolutionized the genre and remains a cornerstone of 1990s manga.
