So much emotion, one of the best manga as well as sports manga I ever witnessed. Every character was well-developed, meet each other and played together to become a close-knit team, full of youthful enthusiasm. The last game with Sannoh was so intense, I have never once in my life howled, worried, nervous, then filled with joy when a basketball team won in a manga. Quite sad for Sakuragi is not able to play for a period of time but I'm glad Shohoku finally achieve their dream
9.5/10 if only the ending were more expanded and complete (I feel like 1 chapter for the ending is too rushed, even with the "10 days after" one-shot), And yes this is better than Vagabond, imo
