Slam Dunk collection

Takehiko Inoue's high-energy basketball saga, originally serialized in Japan, received a definitive English-language collected edition from Panini Comics between 2001 and 2004. Across 31 issues, this series follows the underdog Shohoku High team and its hot-headed but gifted star, Hanamichi Sakuragi, blending sports action with sharp comedy and genuine emotional depth. Inoue's dynamic art and character-driven storytelling made this a landmark title in the sports manga genre, introducing Western readers to a classic of 1990s shonen storytelling.
