Summary

Seirin High’s greatest basketball superstar was the one no one literally saw coming—the invisible Kuroko!

Tetsuya Kuroko doesn’t stand out much。 In fact, he’s so plain that people hardly ever notice when he’s around。 Though he’s just as unremarkable on the basketball court, that’s where his plainness gives him an unexpected edge—one that lets him execute awesome moves without others noticing!

Seirin High is smashing its way through the Inter-High qualifiers。 But to make it to the Finals League, they’ll have to win twice in one day! First up is a match against the North King, Seiho High。 And their day only gets tougher with their second opponent, Shutoku High。 After all, the East King boasts Midorima of the Miracle Generation!

At the time of this review, I read Omnibus volumes 1 and 4 before this volume, but I will try to only focus on this one。In this volume, we see two kings of basketball, but that is all can say directly about this volume, instead I am going to talk around it by discussing the realism of this series。 Yes, I am the first person to not care about realism in something that is fictional。 Yet, I know that realism is something I heard about when it came to the Generation of Miracles abilities。 The thing At the time of this review, I read Omnibus volumes 1 and 4 before this volume, but I will try to only focus on this one。In this volume, we see two kings of basketball, but that is all can say directly about this volume, instead I am going to talk around it by discussing the realism of this series。 Yes, I am the first person to not care about realism in something that is fictional。 Yet, I know that realism is something I heard about when it came to the Generation of Miracles abilities。 The thing is if you watch the anime then it does seem unworldly, due to how they present skills。 Kuroko gets these blue lights and the players get other special effects。 Yet, when you go to the manga you see it actually has solid foundation。 While I will talk more about this in volume 4, I will discuss it here。 We see Midorima and his incredible shooting abilities。 We also see his range in shooting。 Yes, when you find out his range it seems impossible, but it is not。 To make those shots, he needs one thing, which is what Kuroko and I think another player mentions。 Without that element, those shots are not possible。 In some respects, Kuroko's Basketball is like Haikyu!!。 First, you have a powerful duo。 Kagami and Kuroko are pretty strong duo, which is like Kageyama and Hinata。 Second, you have one person who seems to be not strong on his own。 Kuroko's skill does not work on his own power, which is like Hinata。 Yet, at the same time, these two manga differ。 Aside: If a Kuroko's Basketball and a Haikyu!! crossover was possible then I wonder who can jump higher: Kagami or Hinata, especially when they are both first years? Remember, some basketball players made some comments that sounded like they were going to poach Hinata before Daichi threw some major angry vibes their way。 。。。more

This omnibus was one that I needed to read in order to determine whether I wanted to continue the series both anime and manga。 • I enjoyed this volume however I wish it was dubbed in English as an anime because I think I would have gotten more out of it。 • We learned quite a bit about additional characters and background information but I think when it comes to the game conversation it got jumbled and confusing in my personal opinion。 • In addition I think with the two main characters although t This omnibus was one that I needed to read in order to determine whether I wanted to continue the series both anime and manga。 • I enjoyed this volume however I wish it was dubbed in English as an anime because I think I would have gotten more out of it。 • We learned quite a bit about additional characters and background information but I think when it comes to the game conversation it got jumbled and confusing in my personal opinion。 • In addition I think with the two main characters although they are interesting they seem a bit 2D to me this could be because it's only from the beginning of the series but still。Overall, though I can definitely see myself watching this I think reading this has been a bit difficult for me。 Because of these points, I have to give this a 3 out of 5 stars 。。。more

Loved this volume。 Great follow up to the story。 The match Seirin had was also captivating。 Also the little character moments were endearing。 Not surprised I loved this seeing as how I love the anime。 Would definitely recommend。

My main issue so far is that this is a very plot driven story。 I am four volumes in and there has been little to no character development。 Every once in a while, there might be one page dedicated to a flashback, but these scenes are rare。

The game between Shutoku and Seiren was epic (I would probably be saying that word throughout the series whenever Seiren would have a game XD) Midorima's skills really surprised me, imagine a real person with his skills。 I feel like Midorima's skills is more relatable compared to the other characters。 In this volume, we see the game between Midorima and Seiren。 We also got more information on who Midorima is in the Miracle。 Also, the ending left me hanging。 The game between Shutoku and Seiren was epic (I would probably be saying that word throughout the series whenever Seiren would have a game XD) Midorima's skills really surprised me, imagine a real person with his skills。 I feel like Midorima's skills is more relatable compared to the other characters。 In this volume, we see the game between Midorima and Seiren。 We also got more information on who Midorima is in the Miracle。 Also, the ending left me hanging。 。。。more

I am such a sucker for these sports manga series! Basketball is one of my least favorite sports, and still I was turning away at the pages like they were on fire。 Kuroko’s Basketball is like ninja basketball; players have basketball super powers that allow them to dominate the court, and when several of these gifted athletes come together, watch out!Seirin has advanced in the Inter-High qualifiers。 Their opponent, Seiho, smashed the Seirin freshmen last year, so they have a grudge they’ve been keeping。 Seiho, a powerhouse, also has Midorima, one of the Miracle Generation, on the team。 Takao is no slouch, either。 The Seiho player immediately shuts down Kuroko, and things seem hopeless for Seirin。Ahhhh these long drawn out games make me sweaty just reading about them。 Seirin is already worn out after beating Hakuryo, and now they have to go up against Seiho! Since the Seiho players barely broke a sweat in their first blowout game of the day, they are as fresh as daisies。 Kuroko and company – not so much。 To make things worse, Midorima can shoot from anywhere on the court, and he always sinks a basket。 Ugh!This was a fun match up! Takao has the vision of a hawk, and he can see the entire court at all times, rendering Kuroko’s ninja invisibility skillz useless。 Midorima, convinced by his horoscope that he will be victorious, starts showing off his incredible ability to score from way, way back on the court。 He scoffs at players who only score two points at a time。 If you can’t put three points on the board, what is the bother?? He is also a selfish spotlight hog, and I am thinking that will result in his ultimate downfall。Kagami steps up, literally, and shows that his skills are nowhere near peaking。 He, like my favorite volleyball hero, scoffs at gravity, and is soon defying it with jumps that would make a leapfrog proud。 But will it be enough to beat Seiho? I don’t know yet, because this, like all fun manga, ends on an epic cliffhanger。 。。。more

The volume was fast paced and full of amazing matches。 As someone who is a huge fan of the anime, I've been loving revisiting the story in its original format。 The volume deals with two matches, one of them being my second favorite team, Shotoku。 A very good sport series, although it's often judged because of it's art style, which I actually find perfect for the story。 The volume was fast paced and full of amazing matches。 As someone who is a huge fan of the anime, I've been loving revisiting the story in its original format。 The volume deals with two matches, one of them being my second favorite team, Shotoku。 A very good sport series, although it's often judged because of it's art style, which I actually find perfect for the story。 。。。more

Even though I very much enjoyed this volume, what it really did was drive home why ハイキュー!! 1 High Kyuu!! 1 is my preferred sports series - this really feels like it could be any fantasy shounen series with supernatural powers, just with basketball substituted in for fighting dragons。 Even though I very much enjoyed this volume, what it really did was drive home why ハイキュー!! 1 High Kyuu!! 1 is my preferred sports series - this really feels like it could be any fantasy shounen series with supernatural powers, just with basketball substituted in for fighting dragons。 。。。more

Skimmed the first half because Seiho (no one likes you, Tomoki!)。 The Shutoku chapters are still intense, even if you've watched the anime。 And that volume ender, aahh!!!Props to the translation team because Izuki's puns were still punny。 Skimmed the first half because Seiho (no one likes you, Tomoki!)。 The Shutoku chapters are still intense, even if you've watched the anime。 And that volume ender, aahh!!!Props to the translation team because Izuki's puns were still punny。 。。。more
