18. How impressive is Slam Dunk.
The first week of school was stressful. I didn't remember how similar schools were to office jobs. The school day is equivalent to eight hours of continuous work. Of course, workdays are filled with pressure that high school overlooks. The education system aims to create a difference and make students feel comfortable.
The manga Slam Dunk started its release with chapter 17. It refined some unnecessary dialogues and added more convenient elements in line with the sports/shounen drawing style. The script of an animated series takes a stressful path, based on animated blends and fresh designs that allow the word "epic" to remain in its repertoire. (Slam Dunk is one of the best-selling manga series.)
Initially, the manga may not have the administrative strength to compete against big animated series in the first few chapters. However, as the story progresses and the plot becomes apparent, the magnetic charm of Slam Dunk begins to captivate the hearts of fans. In a country where basketball has not been extensively explored in the animated world, it is seen through a different lens.
The vibrant colors, and the underexplored sports atmosphere, can be considered the birthplace of sports anime alongside Captain Tsubasa or the Super Champions.
-So, Mike, the Adidas signals arrived four months late compared to the well-accomplished Nike, who stole the business relationship, -Billy said.
-Yes, Billy, with an offer of at least 5 million dollars, explosive clothing collaborations, and a special line, - Mike said.
-Although the two-year deal with Nike has already been finalized, Adidas is willing to wait. However, Nike's preferential clause gives them an advantage over Adidas. And with just a reasonable increase in contract terms, they can maintain their dominant position,- Mike said.
-Well, maybe you can call Mr. Peter Ruppe and share the good news with Adidas,- Billy suggested.
Chapter 19 is the continuation of the series. The technical development of the characters represents the slow progression of a young man from being arrogant, conceited, reckless, and foolish to maturing through basketball. The joy of playing basketball doesn't merely become a club to win over the love of his life. The desire to become better, portrayed by Sakuragi/Wilt, is a constant longing in his heart.
Snippet from Chapter 19:
Sakuragi/Wilt is seen, coming from the judo club after being beaten up.
-Ouch, that hurts! - Sakuragi/Wilt exclaimed.
"I don't know what connection he has with Hanna/Haruko. Damn it!"
The different panels and frames are enhanced by the detailed style that overlays the manga released in 1993. It's completely different from the initially described manga.
-Anyway, it doesn't matter. Hanna/Haruko will never like such a weird guy, - Sakuragi/Wilt grumbled, still moving in a hunched posture, imitating a gorilla.
In the distance, Hanna/Haruko's friends can be seen entering the gymnasium.
-Oh, there's Hanna/Haruko! -Sakuragi/Wilt exclaimed loudly.
The team captain and Hanna/Haruko's older brother are seen hitting Sakuragi/Wilt on the head due to his incompetence.
-You're late, Sakuragi/Wilt! The practice has already started,-" he said.
-Gori? - Sakuragi/Wilt murmured.
-Let me dream about the beautiful Hanna/Haruko, - he thought to himself.
...
The various forms of training, postures, and the animated blend between the intentions of a gang member who seeks to become the boyfriend of the basketball captain's sister, the journey to greatness throughout high school, and the intricacies. The constant struggle with people who can't keep up with Sakuragi/Wilt's thought process is an ongoing battle of qualities between the fun and drama experienced by athletes in their daily lives.

-This chapter is quite entertaining, Billy, - Thomas Carsen, his father, told him.
- Yes, Father, I believe you already know about the Adidas matter, - Billy questioned.
-Yes, I have some knowledge, -Thomas replied. - Don't worry, even though we lost some money, I negotiated with the idea that your series will grow in the future and make it to television. First and foremost, Nike is only in a commercial war to capture a portion that Adidas can't have.
>>If you notice, the rights to the authorship still belong to you, and even the collaborations will have a share. Nike will only have distribution rights for advertising and marketing purposes. Your work will still retain its identity, and if in three years you can create a product that can be turned into an animated series for television, the profits will exceed two million dollars," Thomas told him.
-You're right, Father,-Billy said.
-Hahahaha, let your father take care of his interests. I hope you continue working diligently on your new releases, -Thomas said.
-I will. I finished Title 24, and I have the idea of publishing a special edition that includes the entire basketball game, - Billy said.
-I don't understand, -his father said.
-Mmmmm, it's the first game, a representative arc of Slam Dunk. It's the beginning where the protagonist falls in love with basketball. In the special edition, Title 25, it's the day of the game. I want to create a complete volume with two parts, each consisting of 120 pages, narrating the game, - Billy explained.
-I still don't understand, - Thomas said.
-I want Volume 25 to be a single 300-page volume. Expand the plot design during the game and provide a character mapping, showcasing the abilities of different players from other schools, as well as listing the skills of the California Central School. Unleash the events that take place during the game, - Billy said.
-Give the readers a bit of content, - he concluded.
Even though the concept of fandom may not be present in everyone's mind, a series that covers all the details and offers a reasonable design always holds a special place in people's hearts. Although Slam Dunk is perfect, it's not a problem to make slight adjustments and extend some scenes that could be interesting for the complete serialization of the series in animated chapters.
"Fandom" refers to the dedicated and passionate community of followers of a particular TV series, movie, or book. Series fandoms are groups of fans who share a common interest in a series and actively participate in discussions, content creation, events, and activities related to the series. They are a significant sector that holds a special place in people's hearts.
-The untapped niche can already be considered for future series, - Billy thought.
*when I saw slam drunk I was probably 8 years old. it's a very good series about sports that opened the way to many more, it's also one of the bestselling series in history.
