Slam Dunk Returns With A Compilation Of Over 130 New & Old Illustrations In Apr 2020

One of the most popular manga in the history of manga! Winning isn't everything in basketball, but who wants to come in second? It takes dedication and discipline to be the best, and the Shohoku High hoops team wants to be just that--the best. They have one last year to make their captain's dream of reaching the finals come true--will they do it? Takehiko Inoue's legendary basketball manga is finally here, and the tale of a lifetime is in your hands!

He may be a pain in the butt, but Hanamichi's athletic prowess and monstrous strength have not gone unnoticed by the captain of Shohoku's judo team. Hoping to take his troupe to a national title, the judo captain is willing to go to great lengths to lure Hanamichi away from the court and get him on the sparring mat. Will out-and-out bribery convince Hanamichi that judo's the way to go, or will he stay a basketball man to the very end?

Those who grew up in the 90s would have fond memories reading Slam Dunk — the anime-cum-manga series centred around the Shohoku basketball team and their quest to become the best in Japan.
Sadly, the popular basketball manga and anime stopped its run prematurely in 1996.
If you’re a die-hard fan, you’d be ecstatic to learn that the popular manga series will be returning in Apr 2020 after a 24-year hiatus.
On Tuesday (26 Nov), Slam Dunk author Takehiko Inoue posted a cryptic tweet which included a photo of unreleased content he had been working on.
According to World of Buzz, the illustrations will likely be compilations of past drawings and others that were used by other publications.
There’ll also be 11 new illustrations created exclusively for this compilation, most likely to rekindle the same love die-hard fans once had for the original manga.
So if you’re expecting a brand new story arc, we’re sorry — that’s unlikely to happen.
That said, if you’re one of those who spent a chunk of your childhood on the basketball series, this is something that you should still check out.

A throwback to the good ol’ days
