Description: Takatou Masaki is the second youngest of four sons, and seemingly a delinquent by nature. His hot temper has put a wedge between himself and his strict father, gotten him kicked out of one school, and tossed him at a school notoriously horrible for the one thing he's truly good at, basketball. A chance encounter with the willful Yuuki Kanako may serve as a catalyst for change, as the indefinable connection she feels with him draws them together...

Won Shogakukan Manga Award in 1988.

But of course it’s good, it’s done by Souryo Fuyumi, creator of the manga Mars. I couldn’t expect any less from this author. Her manga is what got me into reading manga in the first place. You can always expect substance from all of her works, one of my favorite Authors along with Tamura Yumi, creator of Basara and 7 seeds. Both of them seem to create characters that are neither shallow or overbearing, relatable would be the best way to describe them. Both these authors are never disappointing in their works.
Whoaa something with substance and nostalgia slice of life feeling. To think I almost didn't read because of the name.
Story build up and character interaction felt natural without too many cliche over the top romance.
I personally prefer this way of storytelling when its a smooth transition with proper breathing room. It shows a little more of their lifestyle and personality growing up without too much emphasis that its cluster all in one go. Romance isn't the sole focus (WOOT! Basketball manga; shounen passion and dreams), nor is the other genre just a side focus, they actually mention technicalities of basketball
If you don't mind old school style, its definitely recommend for people that something a little more down to earth.
I like this ._.
Noooo there's no more chapters yet ;.;
Hahaha though it's true that girls are weird/complicated to understand >.>
Oh its building up for a tragedy. OHOHOHOHOHOOH
I like this Mangaka, her character feel more real than those in most other Shoujos.
This is somewhat old school, although not old enough to be really, y'know, vintage. But old enough that the eyes aren't ginormous . . .
Anyway, it ages pretty well. I like the characters, and the "rebel without a cause" angst is nicely done. A bit heavy maybe, but it never feels like it's laid on with a trowel. Not so far anyway--seems like this is the mangaka who did "Mars". A lot of people really love "Mars", and I loved it at the beginning, but for me it went over the top later on. I hope this one doesn't. But so far, I'm liking it quite a bit.
