Slam Dunk (Manga)

Both Eyeshield 21 and Slam Dunk have a similar story: Player who originally wants nothing to do with the sport ends up playing the sport, and learning to love the sport. Now, Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kobayakawa Sena have completely different reasons for joing their sports, but they do and they get very, very good at their sports. Each one has a rival that inspires them to work harder (Rukawa and Shin), and each one has a reason to win. Both stories are very funny at times, and at other times, very dramatic. Both stories are similar in the fact that they both draw you in, allows you to relate to the characters, and you even find yourself rooting for the teams (Shohoku and Deimon) to win. In my opinion, if you liked Slam Dunk, you'll like Eyeshield 21, and vice versa.

Both manga are about boys trying to make it in high school basketball, but they have different motivations and progress differently.

Great mangas of Takehiko Inoue. Both are about basketball, with a familiar mood. Slam Dunk have more comedy and REAL have more drama. Both are awesome. If you don't like basketball or do not enjoy sports manga, read Slam Dunk first. I'm sure you'll love it and you'll want to play basketball.
