The second half against Kainan gives Slam Dunk readers a continuation purchase. VIZ places Akagi back in the game despite his injured ankle, with Shohoku still facing Kainan's attack. This is not the reason to buy the run on its own; it belongs inside the Kainan sequence. Choose it for the strain of maintaining an answer over time, and keep the surrounding books together rather than treating the return of a player as a fresh beginning.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Akagi's return can look like the restoration of Shohoku's plan, but the publisher's premise keeps the injury present. Kainan also has more than one way to apply pressure, with Maki attacking and Jin contributing to the lead. The useful buying argument is that restoring a name to the lineup does not restore an undamaged team. Readers interested in the limits of determination have a specific reason to follow this stretch. It is a continuation of an existing problem, and the damaged ankle prevents the return from being a simple reset.
