Slam Dunk, Vol. 18, Volume 18

英語に慣れる良い教材です。私は、スラムダンクが大好きで、全巻日本語バージョンを暗記するくらい読んだので、絵柄とアルファベットを見ただけで、英単語がわからなくても意味がわかっていたので、英語取得にとてもよい教材でした。このコミックで覚えた英単語は多いです。ただ、安西先生を日本語では「オヤジ」と言っているのに、英語で「OLD MAN」は少し、桜木と安西先生の距離が日本語版より離れているようで、嫌でした。それ以外は特にはないです。よって、星４つとします。

If you love basketball, you will love “Slam Dunk”!For the most part, this is all about competition between Shohoku vs. Ryonan. First half leading into the second half and we get to see the strategies that are used on both sides and trying to match up player vs. player.The rivalry between these two teams are great and it’s an aggressive matchup but with Akagi’s fears of a bad ankle limiting his movement and shooting, Hanamichi’s belief in himself as a player starting to wane, it’s going to take the other players to play their best game in order to mount a comeback and without their coach, it may be difficult.With everything on the line, Shohoku needs to find a way to comeback but most importantly, get Akagi and Hanamichi back into the game!With that being said, reading this volume will go quickly because the illustration do take up a big part of the pages versus dialogue but if you appreciate basketball and Takehiko Inoue’s work, you know that this style works and the efficacy of competition of competitive high school basketball is captured amazingly well.As for the manga series, Takehiko Inoue’s illustrations have always been a highlight for me and I was always amazed of how he captured movements, the offensive and defensive stances to how the players penetrate the perimeter and score. He also doesn’t step back when it comes to capturing the players during competition. He fully includes detail of profuse sweating and the fatigue a player goes through from start to finish.Overall, “Slam Dunk” is an enjoyable manga series and if you are a basketball fan, “Slam Dunk” is definitely recommended!

Must own, even if you dont like basketball and if you do your gonna love it even more. The story is amazing each character is flushed out.

This book came from a library but the stickers easily came off, none of the pages are worn!! Great price!
