slam dunk first of all i think that inoue-sensei has one of the best art in all of manga slam dunk is a beautiful story that cannot be compared to any other sport manga(ashita no joe for me is not really a sport manga yes it has sports but is not the main thing) all of the characters are well written the story is unique and the ending is perfect i dont understand those who didnt like it if you want a funny story but that has so much meaning then go ahead and read it .it is perfect in everything
