SLAM DUNK 6
Story and Art by Takehiko Inoue

With just a minute remaining on the game clock, Shoho0ku still trails Ryonan by four points. Hoping to put this match away for good, Ryonan hands the ball to their ace Sendo, but they make the fatal error of overlooking the incredibly erratic (and at times phenomenally talented) Hanamichi. With a short block that sets up a clinching basket for superstar Kaede Rukawa, Shohoku still has a chance for the win, but have they already chewed up too much time in the process?

Shohoku took the lead once and they were likely to win but they couldn’t because they thought the game was over. When I was a junior high school student, my coach often said to us, “Don’t be relax until the game is over.” It is true. Sendo is very genius and he makes efforts harder than anyone. We often say “You are luky” Before we say such a thing, we should do what we can do. This cartoon not only makes me feel happy and funny but also teach me important spirits.
