Thinking of starting Slam Dunk. Is it good? The only other manga I've read are JoJo, Berserk, and I'm currently reading Monster.

you will have a good time, the final arc is god tier as medium in general

Read it and you tell ne

Yeah, it's really fucking good, one of my favorite manga of all time. If you like it you should try reading Vagabond by the same author.

>create the GOAT match and ending as final fuck you to jump
Slam Dunk is legendary.

Manga >>> anime

People loved to ruin original contents making anime adaptations in the 90's, and Slam Dunk is one of them.

The only manga i wish i could experience reading it for the first time again.

So many emotions.

Definitely one of the best.

The mangaka is great. ive got several volumes of vagabond. If you'd like something more modern from the same mangaka with much rougher themes, i defs suggest REAL. all the same shit but with a twist i wont spoil.

Alright, I'm convinced. Do I buy the physical volumes or go digital?

Is there anyone who dislikes Slam Dunk? I can't imagine how boring you'd have to be

This.

This thread is the first time I've seen Zig Forumsutists agree on something.

I'm watching it, should I be reading it? Is the anime a faithful adaptation?

pretty much, except for the fact, the anime doesn't cover the whole story

The voice acting is god-tier but everything else is lackluster at best, toei can't do justice to the art and includes an absurd amount of filler as expected but you can still have a good time if you lower your expectations.
Manga is amazing, of course.

holy shit i just finished reading it. wished that there was more desu. but yea really good. i read it after reading vagabond. reading REAL now.

i dont understand user. what was the intended ending ?

if you can go physical then do it. if not digital is also good. i consume all of my manga andd comics through digital

Read this, then Inoue's other best work

Just finished re-reading the last match. I still can't stop my tears. Holy fuck this is so good.

I hated the ending. such bullshit

I just looked it up, I'm an absolute sucker for the delinquent with a heart of gold trope so it sounds up my alley

why doesn't he have armpit hair

There's probably a lot of reasons
1) Asian
2) Wants less air friction as he runs down the court or when he jumps into the air to SLAM DUNK™
3) He likes that easy breezy feel
4) Puberty hasn't hit yet.

iirc originally it would have been longer. Inoue and Jump had some disagreement on the direction of the story, mainly on the final match which Inoue wanted Shuhoku to lose and have a rematch (typical way to extend the series). In the end Jump won and Inoue ended Slam Dunk. If you actually think about it, that match and ending is kinda weird. They could still continue the series but that didn't happen. The ending was kinda sudden but at the same time it's arguably one of the greatest ending in Jump history.

>In the end Jump won and Inoue ended one of the biggest best-sellers in the history of the magazine.
>Jump won.
What did they mean by that?

Sorry I'm an ESL ok?
I mean won the Shuhoku wins the match argument so Inoue decided to end the series as a fuck you to Jump.

I understood you, just pointing out what a retarded move the editor pulled that day.
I kinda like when an author sticks with his guns and tells the publisher/fandom to fuck off, some of the resulting endings are amazing.

fuck bros i want more of slam dunk so much

my third favorite manga of all time. the first two? vagabond and real.
