Publisher's Synopsis
Thinking that a basketball-centric, sports fiction novel is only for basketball fans? Well, it's certainly not for this book. It's because not only this book is focusing on the basketball game with a few basketball terms in between, but it also focusing on the mental and emotional state of the main character and people around him. Because of that, this book is perfect even for those who are not familiar with the basketball terms but enjoy reading sports fiction novel. This can be seen clearly from the main character itself, Takumi Ichirou who is a third-year basketball player in Minagawa Academy, a high school in Hakone, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. He's also the captain for his team as well. The school itself used to be in the Best 8 list in Japan but slipped under the radar after their coach passed away. The story begins when Takumi is in the first year in Minagawa Academy. After competing against his best friend, Hideki Nakamura in the basketball tournament throughout his middle school life, Takumi Ichirou finally reunites with him when they enter the same high school, Minagawa Academy. Besides Hideki, he also reunites with another childhood friend of his, the twin brother Hikaru and Kaoru when they have a practice match together. Just as he thought it's going to be another happy reunion, the practice match turns into a traumatic match that he ever had, all because of Hikaru's word.
