Synopsis:

Slam Dunk tells the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a high school student and delinquent with a crush on the delicate Haruko Akagi, who introduces him to the world of basketball. Thus, the clumsy character begins to get involved in the sport, intending to join his school's basketball team just to catch Haruko's attention. However, Sakuragi awakens a genuine passion for basketball when he feels the adrenaline rush of the game. Alongside his captain Takenori Akagi, his rival Rukawa Kaede, and the rest of the team, he plays to win the intercollegiate championship.

Takehiko Inoue then published his iconic sports manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1990 to 1996, with a total of 31 volumes. The manga inspired an anime in 1993 and received four sequels in the form of animated films.
