Shohoku is chasing Kainan in this Slam Dunk match continuation. The VIZ setup puts Rukawa at the center of the effort to reduce the deficit, making the book a purchase for readers already following that contest. Keep it with the surrounding Kainan volumes. Its particular interest is how recovery depends on the distribution of responsibility across Shohoku, so choosing it solely as a display of individual scoring would narrow the premise too much.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
An injury to Akagi changes the available answer to Kainan, according to VIZ's synopsis. Rukawa's scoring helps, but the captain's absence removes work at both ends of the court and leaves Sakuragi facing a larger assignment. The useful distinction is that a comeback has more than one requirement. Adding points does not automatically replace everything an injured player supplied. This is a continuation to buy for the pressure on Shohoku's roles, particularly if you have followed Sakuragi's earlier substitute opportunity. The vacancy is larger than a place in the lineup.
