Your typical sports shounen manga with ridiculous skills, rivalry, teamwork and - of course - the saving of at least one person who has lost the 'true ways of the sport.'Basketball has been done before. Slam Dunk was a particularly popular (and good) shounen manga with much the same subject matter. So what makes this different? Well...it's newer? No, this manga starts off with characters who are already well versed in Basketball and can play. Much of the manga focuses on them entering competitions, figuring out how to beat opponents and learning to trust each other as team mates. These segments are fascinating and filled with emotion that you can identify with dragging the reading in for more and more.I enjoy the silliness of this manga, the training montages, the humour and of course, the games. As an ex-basketball player it made me want to go see if I still had all those skills I used to spend hours perfecting, alas, real life often gets in the way. tertarik baca manga ini karena di forum anime yang saya ikutin lagi banyak yang ngomongin.Dan pas baca jilid pertama ini langsung tertarik. Meski nggak sekoplak Slam Dunk yang tokoh utamanya bodoh dalam berbasket, di Kurobas ini rata2 mereka udah pada jago (walaupun masing2 punya kelemahan)Kalau Slam Dunk menyuguhkan humor dan kisah basket yang lebih realistis, Kurobas punya poinnya sendiri menurutku. Meski jurus basketnya aneh2 udah kayak jurus Naruto -___-, tapi persahabatan antara tim dan kisah Kuroko pada saat SMP benar2 menyayat hati T___T. Kurobas dramanya lebih kental, walaupun ada humornya dikit.Tokoh utamanya Kuroko Tetsuya, dijuluki Pemain Bayangan Keenam dari Generation of Miracles, cuma jago dipassing dan stealing. Dia buruk banget dalam lari cepet, sama ngeshoot (awal2 kalau ngeshoot gapernah masuk sama sekali). Memutuskan masuk ke SMA yang berbeda dari teman2 SMPnya, dan berniat mengalahkan mereka satu per satu untuk menjadikan tim barunya sebagai tim basket nomor 1 di Jepang.
