A Shot straight to my Heart
Here's another one of my favorite basketball concept anime. . .
Hoop Days!/ Dear Boys!
At the outset of the manga, the Mizuho
High School basketball team is in trouble, as there are not enough players to
play a game. Additionally, the coach has left after a conflict with Fujiwara.
However, Aikawa transfers to Mizuho and through his enthusiasm and sheer love
of the game, infuses the few remaining members with a sense of purpose.
Despite the fact that there are only
five of them (i.e., they have no substitutes), they manage to get the coach of
the girls' team to coach them as well. At first, she seems very strict, but
later reveals her attachment to her "Dear Boys". Together, they do
their best to make their dreams come true and take their team to the top of the
prefecture.
Mutsumi had once said that it was as if
Aikawa reminded them all about how much fun they could've all had playing
basketball together. He was once the trump card and captain of the Tendōji
High's basketball team. He plays the position of point forward in the team. He
also has a knack of being able to jump higher than most people, and that makes
up for his height disadvantage. Even though he is short, he is able to dunk.
The anime is not that comedic like slam dunk so I'm not wondering why some aren't familiar with this anime but I seriously love how the characters are drawn plus the way their movements had been illustrated is almost as if it was realistic.
