Story - The story was one of the better point of this manga. I could never predict what would happen. I would think one thing would happen, but I would end up being completely wrong. The only thing that drove me crazy was how many chapters it took for one game. I also felt the last chapter was a little rushed.
Art - I would have to say the artwork was my least favorite part of this manga. The art was decent, but not as good as some manga I've read. It was clean though, it wasn't hard to read at all. The art kind of reminded me of Slam Dunk.
Characters - I think all the characters were amazing. I don't know how else to describe it, I really enjoyed every character. There wasn't one that annoyed me, or made me want to punch them. The uniqueness of each character and their personality was refreshing too.
Overall I really enjoyed this manga. I would read it again, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good sports manga. I like the whole whipping delinquents into shape scenario as well. There were some really good encouraging lessons in this manga as well about not giving up and really believing in yourself and the dreams that you have in your life.
