黒子のバスケ [Kuroko no Basuke] #1

The opening volume of Kuroko no Basuke sets the stage with quiet confidence — a pale, blue-eyed player in a black jacket steps to the foreground while his Seirin teammates surge behind him, one already airborne and ready to shoot. The contrast between the reserved figure up front and the fiery intensity of the players at his back tells you everything about the dynamic this series promises. Published by Shueisha under the Jump Comics imprint, this is a fine starting point for anyone curious about one of basketball manga's most beloved runs.
