Well, I knew some spoilers before I finished reading (Hanamichi was going to get hurt/ Hanamichi realized he really wants to play basketball/ Rukawa would enter in the Japan team/ They would lose in the third game...
But at the same time, this last game was awesome!!
I was really anxious to see Rukawa and Hanamichi getting along well, we can just imagine they became a great pair.
And we have to believe Hanamichi got really good in Basketball and eventually he became Haruko's boyfriend
And I really think Hanamichi was kind of the heart/spirit of team (Akagi was the heart also). I want to believe that Hanamichi in his third year became captain (I really think he has the spirit to be captain of the team).
And It was really nice to see Akagi trusting and depending on Hanamichi, they really liked one another.
This team was great and it would be really hard to substitute, but of course I would like to have a sequence, and see Shouhoku win the championship one year.
Problem with this chapter: it was so rushed!! I didn't understand a lot of stuff (Was mitsui in the team also??, there was a guy that looked like him playing with Ryota...). A lot of people said here all that buildup about other teams for nothing?? It just didn't feel like Inoue was going to finish the manga in that part, I really don't understand his intentions...
