Dream Team #49-50

This double volume of Dream Team — published by Glénat in 2019 — captures the intensity of high school basketball manga at its most kinetic, with a player wearing number 4 caught mid-leap in a dramatic layup attempt, the net and backboard looming above him in striking black-and-white artwork framed against bold purple. The dynamic low-angle composition puts you right on the court, feeling every ounce of effort in that upward drive toward the basket. Fans of sports manga looking for tightly drawn athletic action will find plenty to love in this combined volume of Ahiru no Sora (known in French as Dream Team).
