Summary
The best-selling series from Eisner-nominated Takehiko Inoue， one of Japan’s greatest manga creators。
Winning isn't everything in the game of 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。 They have one last year to make their captain's dream of reaching the finals come true—will they do it？
For the Shohoku High players， the past echoes in the present as Rukawa learns something about Coach Anzai that leaves him determined to be the best high school player in Japan。 With ten days remaining until the start of the national tournament， Coach Anzai sends the Shohoku High team to Shizuoka for a week of practice with another local team。 But Sakuragi stays behind for a special practice session that will push him to the limit and improve his individual skills for the crucial games ahead。

Volume 22 is a breather between the intense Ryonan game and the first round of Nationals。 It starts off with Rukawa making some big choices about where his future lies and what his goals are， returning to Shohoku's practices with renewed vigor and drive to succeed。 The volume then moves on to a "training camp" arc where the Shohoku boys leave for some practice games while Sakuragi stays at the school with Coach Anzai to practice shooting。 Shohoku needs to level up their game if they stand a chan Volume 22 is a breather between the intense Ryonan game and the first round of Nationals。 It starts off with Rukawa making some big choices about where his future lies and what his goals are， returning to Shohoku's practices with renewed vigor and drive to succeed。 The volume then moves on to a "training camp" arc where the Shohoku boys leave for some practice games while Sakuragi stays at the school with Coach Anzai to practice shooting。 Shohoku needs to level up their game if they stand a chance at Nationals and their best bet at doing so is to give Sakuragi some extra skills！It's a decent volume that accomplishes what it intends to do。 The extra practice and new motivations give the players a reason to have improved once their next game begins， and we get to check in with how their minds are focused now that they've qualified。 The overarching goal of Shohoku has always been to win Nationals， but the series has had the first major goal be to even qualify。 Everything was built up to entering Nationals and the players （especially Akagi） had their big emotional payoff at the end of last volume。 Now Takehiko Inoue has to refocus everyone and provide some bigger goals to drive the series forward。 The opposing teams that have been shown so far in the Regionals are being left behind， so it's good to get a breather volume with little action that's driven by the characters' motivations instead of their skills。The star of this volume is Coach Anzai。 His conversation with Rukawa sheds some light on why he's so feared and respected as a coach， while his one-on-one training with Sakuragi allows him to open up a bit more。 We get to see inside his head and how he thinks， instead of his quiet chuckling and rare advice that the series usually gives him。 His physical absence throughout the lengthy Ryonan game was sorely missed and his reintroduction in this volume is much appreciated。Volume 22 isn't big and flashy， but as the manga is entering its home stretch this is probably the last quiet volume we're going to get。 Nationals are starting soon and our Shohoku team isn't liable to catch any breaks from then onwards。 。。。more

I LOVED THIS！！！We take a lttle break before the Nationals and get a volume full of comedy， emotional pressure and basketball training。 Everybody wants to get better。 Geting into the Natonals was not enough， it was just another step， obviously this focuses on the Nationals but Inoue let's you know that life goes on and there's more ahead。It's been a while now but i can safely say that Anzai-sensei is my favourite character， they way he never looses his temper and treats everybody like a son， it's I LOVED THIS！！！We take a lttle break before the Nationals and get a volume full of comedy， emotional pressure and basketball training。 Everybody wants to get better。 Geting into the Natonals was not enough， it was just another step， obviously this focuses on the Nationals but Inoue let's you know that life goes on and there's more ahead。It's been a while now but i can safely say that Anzai-sensei is my favourite character， they way he never looses his temper and treats everybody like a son， it's a beautiful thing to say。 。。。more

Slam Dunk， Vol。 22 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters （180–188） of the on-going manga series。Kaede Rukawa has made his intentions of wanting to go play basketball in the United States and approaches Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai， but is shot down。 His wife tells Rukawa that once one of Anzai's players went to America， but fell under a big depression until dying due to various conflicts with his teammates and rivals。However， Rukawa becomes determined to be Slam Dunk， Vol。 22 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters （180–188） of the on-going manga series。Kaede Rukawa has made his intentions of wanting to go play basketball in the United States and approaches Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai， but is shot down。 His wife tells Rukawa that once one of Anzai's players went to America， but fell under a big depression until dying due to various conflicts with his teammates and rivals。However， Rukawa becomes determined to become the best player from Japan， and plays a one-on-one match against Hisashi Mitsui。 Hanamichi Sakuragi interrupts him and claims they never had a one-on-one， as Rukawa is afraid of losing to him。 As such both compete in private， and Rukawa manages to defeat Sakuragi。Due to the poor grades from Sakuragi， Rukawa， Mitsui and Ryota Miyagi， Takenori Akagi is forced to assist them in their academics， so that they may still be allowed to compete at Nationals。 A few days later， Shohoku starts its one-week training， but Anzai does let Sakuragi go。 Anzai makes Sakuragi practice his jump shots by making twenty thousand shots in a week。 With help from his gang and Haruko Akagi， Sakuragi is successful in his training。 The following week， Shohoku team boards a train on their way to the National Tournament。This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue。 With a huge tournament over， it was a wise idea not to go straight to the Nationals and into another big tournament。 It is wonderful to see the school life of Shohoku team with the cliché struggling grades story and the teams preparation to the Nationals – a wonderful and quiet tankōbon between tournaments。All in all， Slam Dunk， Vol。 22 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more。 。。。more

One of the more iconic of sports manga。 It's the first series where I actually both read the manga and watched the anime。 It has flawed protagonists， growing up pains， colourful characters， and beautiful meaningful relationships， all neatly wrapped around the context of college basketball。 One of the more iconic of sports manga。 It's the first series where I actually both read the manga and watched the anime。 It has flawed protagonists， growing up pains， colourful characters， and beautiful meaningful relationships， all neatly wrapped around the context of college basketball。 。。。more

As far as I can remember， this is the part where the anime separates from the manga， as the anime version wasn't able to cover the national championships anymore。 So from this point onwards， I really have no clue on what will happen next。Despite not having an actual game （because everybody deserves a break from that intense Shohoku vs。 Ryonan fight）， Inoue still manages to keep the interest of the readers with some character-focused substories。 As far as I can remember， this is the part where the anime separates from the manga， as the anime version wasn't able to cover the national championships anymore。 So from this point onwards， I really have no clue on what will happen next。Despite not having an actual game （because everybody deserves a break from that intense Shohoku vs。 Ryonan fight）， Inoue still manages to keep the interest of the readers with some character-focused substories。 。。。more

*This review is for the series as a whole with 4。5 out of 5 stars*I’ve posted 2 articles about Slam Dunk early this year so I’m sure you guys already have an idea how I adore this series。 The anime series was incredible but its manga counterpart is beyond incredible， it was AHA-mazing！I’m not a sporty kind of girl and I don’t think I’ll be anytime soon， but I think what’s great about reading books and watching shows is that you learn and （kind of） experience a lot of things you don’t normally do *This review is for the series as a whole with 4。5 out of 5 stars*I’ve posted 2 articles about Slam Dunk early this year so I’m sure you guys already have an idea how I adore this series。 The anime series was incredible but its manga counterpart is beyond incredible， it was AHA-mazing！I’m not a sporty kind of girl and I don’t think I’ll be anytime soon， but I think what’s great about reading books and watching shows is that you learn and （kind of） experience a lot of things you don’t normally do in real life。 And because of Slam Dunk， I learn to appreciate sports stories and eventually love them。When I started reading this manga， it felt so nostalgic。 It’s not so different in the anime so while reading it， I keep on picturing out all those episodes which I think made my reading experience even more enjoyable。Slam Dunk showcases a great team work。 What I learn to appreciate about sports stories/shows is that it’ll give you a lot of lessons about what it means to be a great sportsman。 And Slam Dunk absolutely slammed dunk that part！I usually watch the anime series first before reading its manga counterpart and as for Slam Dunk， I’ve watched it quite a number of times already and I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching it， *wink。 Even after watching the anime， I can still feel the tension， the suspense， and the excitement while reading this manga。As you can read on its title， this manga centered around the sports basketball and through it weaved a really good story everyone of us will enjoy and appreciate whether you’re into sports or not。 Another thing I love about reading manga is that it will never ceased to make you laugh with its funny scenes and Slam Dunk had it big time！ I lost count how many times I laughed my heart out reading this masterpiece。The drawings were really so good too plus those facial expressions were epic， especially Sakuragi’s， haha。This story has a main character but I love that it didn’t just center around him but the author also gave its other characters a chance to share their own story。 I love the character development as well especially Sakuragi’s。And speaking of Sakuragi， I didn’t eventually like him at first。 He’s definitely trouble and I didn’t quite appreciate his annoying antics and his excessive bragging。 But all throughout the story， you can’t definitely help it but like his character。 As I’ve said above， Sakuragi’s character development is definitely one you should see。 From being this good for nothing delinquent， he became a true sportsman。 I just absolutely love his improvement not just in basketball but eventually as a person。 It’s definitely hard for me to explain but I just LOVE Sakuragi。 Ofcourse he can still be an airhead sometimes but I can see now that it’s one of the things that makes him quite likeable， haha。Slam Dunk has some pretty amazing group of characters and as I’ve said in this article， they come in varieties so I’m sure a lot of readers can find some characters they can relate and love。The anime series left off the national championship and let me tell you guys， it was already good as it is。 It was full of intense scenes with a right blend of humor but the national championship parts were sooooooo good I can still feel its intensity even after finishing this manga。 Actually， I cried pretty hard when they won！ You should definitely read it！！！Although the ending felt short which ofcourse makes you want to ask for more， I guess it was still a pretty good and hopeful ending， not just for team Shohoku but for the other teams as well。 Besides， after that intense match with Sannoh， I don’t think Slam Dunk failed me。So if you’re looking for an intense sports shonen manga to read， Slam Dunk should be on top of your list。To read more of my reviews， book news and updates:Main Blog: Blushing GeekSubscribeFacebook Page 。。。more

I recommend that this volume of this manga。 In this volume， the scene of training is so impressive for me。 I used to play basketball when I was elementary school。 I was a good player like Rukawa。 The opportunity that I started to play basketball is this manga。 Sakuragi trained to shoot with his friends and Mr。 Anzai。 His teaching is so helpful against Sakuragi。

Shokou is preparing for the national championship of Japan。 Rukawa talks with the coach about going to America but in order to be succesful there he has to become the number one in Japan。Meanwhile Sakuragi is training jump shots as preparation for the tournament。 No the manga is going into the final stage。 I am really excited for all the top teams， which Shohoku gonna be encountering。

I think this is the last chapter that has been featured on the anime version。Ahhh。。 what a journey。It is so amazing how it resembles the anime that i love。There are i think two scenes which i didn't see on the manga。But still， Slam Dunk is my most favorite anime。Gotta read the rest of the manga later。 I think this is the last chapter that has been featured on the anime version。Ahhh。。 what a journey。It is so amazing how it resembles the anime that i love。There are i think two scenes which i didn't see on the manga。But still， Slam Dunk is my most favorite anime。Gotta read the rest of the manga later。 。。。more

What should be a transitional volume ends up being another great one and more proof of Inoue's strengths as a storyteller。 The volume centers on the days after the region's tournament and the training of the team for the Interhigh competition in Hiroshima。 And even if the plot has a couple of a-hundred-times-seen plot developments （as the stars of the team， except Akagi， having horrible results at school and having to study as crazy if they want to be allowed to go to the big tournament） the vol What should be a transitional volume ends up being another great one and more proof of Inoue's strengths as a storyteller。 The volume centers on the days after the region's tournament and the training of the team for the Interhigh competition in Hiroshima。 And even if the plot has a couple of a-hundred-times-seen plot developments （as the stars of the team， except Akagi， having horrible results at school and having to study as crazy if they want to be allowed to go to the big tournament） the volume more than does for this with lots of humor， high pace and great character development （we get to know a lot about Anzai or a long-waited showdown between Hanamichi and Rukawa）。The 22nd volume， the one before the last arc of the series starts， is an awesome one。8/10（Original Japanese Version） 。。。more
