Ten years of cold water cannot extinguish a heart aflame.
There was a time when we all thought we would be the exceptionally gifted Sakuragi, or the rebellious Rukawa.
Only later did we realize that most of us are Kiminobu Kogure:
The kind vice-captain, the hard-working yet mediocre three-point shooter, the ordinary man quietly applauding beneath the glow of genius.
But this time, the story is different.
When the bespectacled boy who always wears a gentle smile feels an unyielding fire kindle in his eyes.
When the “Basketball Overlord System” awakens in his mind, the “nice guy” who once sat on the bench is finally ready to shed the label of “mediocre.”
From [Sharpshooter] to [All-Around Floor General], from a weakling with no stamina to someone who can stand his ground against Shinichi Maki.
When Kogure Kiminobu dominates the court with one outrageous three-pointer after another and a defense like an iron wall, all of Kanagawa is stunned.
“You used to call me a benchwarmer.”
“Now, call me the new king of Shohoku.”
From sweeping the prefectural tournament, to taking down Sannoh at the national tournament, and finally making it to the NBA.
This is more than Kogure Kiminobu's comeback. It's a passionate fantasy for every “ordinary person”!
Come on, don't let it be a bad ending, don't be a eunuch, I want to finish it!
Very nice, slow to heat up
Well written and beautiful
