Shohoku and Toyotama continue their Nationals game in this Slam Dunk paperback. VIZ places the encounter in its second half, making the volume a direct continuation of the preceding book. Buy the pair if Toyotama is the matchup you want to follow. The distinctive interest is an answer built around the opponent's preferred style, so this works best for readers interested in tactical choices rather than selecting only a new rival's introduction.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

VIZ describes Anzai choosing to meet Toyotama's running attack with steals, speed and scoring of Shohoku's own. The interesting question for a buyer is therefore what it means to challenge an opponent on favorable ground. Copying a style can look like conceding the terms, but it can also be a demand to prove which team can execute them. For a reader choosing tactical material, the appeal is this voluntary acceptance of the opponent's preferred terms. Keep the opening of the game attached so the response has an opponent and a problem already in view.
