After Mishima Ryu leaves Tokyo, he's chosen by the god of fantasy basketball (not really), and finally understands why his school's basketball team could never make it past the Tokyo qualifiers. Are these guys all cheating or what?!!
So he resolutely sets out on the path of a reserve player.
Rakuzan team: Weren't you the one who said you didn't want to play?
Mishima Ryu: No, thanks.
And so Mishima becomes the famous phantom first-stringer of the Rakuzan basketball club: he always obeys the captain, but never takes the court, no matter what.
Little Captain: Ryu, you're playing next game.
Mishima Ryu: Yes, sir.
Rakuzan team: What happened to never playing?
Mishima Ryu: Go ahead and try arguing with him.
No, no, no, they wouldn't dare. They weep silently.
Mishima Ryu, the wildest guy in Shibuya, is completely satisfied.
* Main setting: Rakuzan; secondary setting: Ikebukuro
* Swings wildly between canon-style drama and dark themes
* The protagonist's values are questionable, but that doesn't reflect the author's
* Mainly Kuroko's Basketball, Durarara!!, and Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens; other works may be mentioned
* The protagonist is overpowered and has a special ability, making him something of an urban legend
* The setting belongs to the original works; any out-of-character behavior is on me
Theme: Finding love in the underworld
