About
Hanamichi Sakuragi enters high school with a bruising reputation and very little luck in romance. When Haruko Akagi asks if he likes basketball, he says yes to impress her despite knowing almost nothing about the game. That boast pulls him into the school gym, where his natural athletic ability is obvious but his lack of discipline causes trouble. He also finds an immediate rival in Rukawa, the gifted player Haruko admires. Hanamichi initially treats basketball as another way to attract attention, yet the demands of practice refuse to indulge his swagger. Slam Dunk follows the gradual change as he learns what it takes to contribute to a team, balancing his loud confidence with the frustrations of being a beginner.
