It's not just a question of putting the ball in the basket, running and gunning, dribbling, rebounding... it's also a story of teamwork, shared experience, victories and defeats experienced together. The group and its cohesion are what the sports manga "Kuroko's Basket" highlights, with characters who are unusual to say the least, with striking looks and rich and varied sensibilities. If you're not already familiar with this work by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, we'll send you straight to the basketball court...

A real success

Kuroko's Basket has no fewer than 30 volumes published between 2008 and 2014, and has been adapted into an animated TV series comprising 25 episodes and three seasons, as well as three animated films that serve as summaries of the entire series. This manga, created, drawn and written by mangaka Tadatoshi Fujimaki, quickly won fans over, thanks to its aesthetic, its well-crafted characters and the power of its soundtrack. In 2014, 27 million copies of the series were sold! A real success? That's an understatement!
