Sakuragi Hanamichi is a junior high punk used to getting into fights and being rejected by girls but upon entering high school he meets the girl of his dreams, Haruko Akagi. He will do anything in order to win her heart including joining the school basketball team that is aiming to conquer the nation lead by Haruko's brother. The problem is that Sakuragi has never played basketball before and a freshman sensation is stealing the spotlight and Haruko's affection from him.

Where it stops:

  1. Slam Dunk Movie 1FMar 1994The 1994 film expands the practice game against Takezono; it is a side story rather than a later manga endpoint.
  2. Slam Dunk: National Domination! Sakuragi HanamichiFJul 1994This film expands the qualifier against Tsukubu during the TV storyline, so it has no separate manga continuation.
  3. Slam Dunk: Shohoku Maximum Crisis! Burn Sakuragi HanamichiFMar 1995The Ryokufu practice match is a side story set during the prefectural qualifiers, not a sequel to the TV ending.
  4. Slam Dunk: Roar!! Basket Man SpiritFJul 1995This anime-original story takes place before the Ryonan qualifier and has no manga continuation of its own.
