あひるの空 [Ahiru no Sora] #16

Four young faces fill this volume's striking horizontal-panel cover, each rendered with the expressive intensity that has made Hinari Takeshi's basketball manga a shōnen standout. The stacked, close-cropped portraits convey a real sense of rivalry and camaraderie, drawing readers straight into the charged emotional world of the court. Published by Kōdansha under their Shōnen Magazine Comics imprint, volume 16 is a solid addition to this engaging series.
