A Basketball Romance

Do you like basketball? This question, once asked of the protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi in the classic manga Slam Dunk, might get plenty of people to say yes. But why do they like it? Is it because basketball brings fame and profit, or simply because it is fun? I doubt even some adults can give the truest answer in their hearts, let alone the naive young boys in this story. So follow their growth, and their fantastical adventures bound up with basketball, as we search together for the answer.
