Slam Dunk Vol. 5 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Hanamichi plays on pure instinct, trading sparks with Rukawa, and his wild rampage actually throws Ryonan's defense into disarray. His growing presence on rebounds and blocks turns the heads of fans and opponents alike. When Akagi returns to the court, Shohoku's offense and defense stabilize at once, and a furious comeback begins. Sendoh's Ryonan refuses to yield an inch, and the game stays knotted to the very end. In this battle Hanamichi truly feels, from the bottom of his heart, that basketball is fun, taking a decisive step from mere delinquent to genuine baller. It is a fierce clash that hints at Shohoku's future.
