Hoping the anime would help boost the manga reputation so someone would translate the manga, I heard there's like close to 400 chapters or more current out in raw, but only 138 chapters translated :l It's sad because basketball is like my favorite sports and Ahiru no Sora is like my favorite basketball manga ever.

Again, mamochan and kishow reunion again as teamates after bungou stray dogs as chuya and dazai. (In bungou, they're former partner, this time as teamates)
Senbongi and kaji worked together in vento aureo as trish una and hirose, and with mamochan in kabaneri as mumei, takumi and biba

Damn this look like slam dunk. Not no fan service for female. Look more basketball oriented and street looking cultural instead of making it shoenen like where they're giving them ridiculous anime ability using it as plot device.
You have a point but I don't rag on females with the sport genre cause they're the ones who fund the shows. They are clearly the ones buying the the blurays and merchandise for series like Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu. Unless this series ultimately looks badass and the writing is up to par, I doubt it'll get a long run. Seems like a very elaborate advertisement for the manga which I will not be shocked if it ends around the same time the anime is on the air.

Although the manga synopsis is giving me pretty big Hanebado vibes. Hopefully, this anime won't be as bad as that one was
