**** Spoilers! Maybe I don't really think so, but just incase!!!!!!Yeah so there are a lot of hotties in this lovely, exciting and yes sometimes emotional sports manga! The drawings in the beginning of this series are not the best but the mangaka latter in this series starts developing a better drawing style that is more defined. This story is absolutely inspirational and blood pumping! The manga has better detail and makes the basketball matches more lively and epic than the anime. If you love the olympics, or love cheering for the underdog you will love this manga! Friendships are formed among teammates, hard work and determination brings a unknown basketball team together to face off against real basketball monsters!But beware you might start thinking you are an epic basketball player and think you can do amazing tricks in PE class...but all you do is fail.
Loved the anime, own the manga in Japanese. SO glad to finally see this series getting an english release! Would've preferred a single volume release, but I'll take what I can get when it comes to sports manga.
I'm a huge fan of the anime and am so happy that this series is being published in English. I think this series demonstrates a lot of what makes shonen manga great (e.g., friendship, effort, victory! comedy and action without pointless interpersonal drama) without being just like every other Jump series out there. I find a quietly hilarious and unexpectedly skilled protagonist like Kuroko so refreshing and I think this series nicely balances games with practice and other school activities. I do wish the art in these first two volumes was as good as it becomes later on, but really that's just because I think this series (eventually) has the best art of any Jump sports series and I just can't wait for more volumes to come out.
