Chapter 145 The Persevering Mitsui

Next Mon.

The nasty brother hid the comics.

The itchy Kanda Taketo finally sneaked to the supermarket and bought a comic book.

"It's really cheap."

He sighed with emotion that a comic book with more than 200 pages only costs 230 yen, which made him a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

"No wonder the quality of the paper is so poor."

Sitting on the Chiaki in the park, Kanda looked up.

Continue with the content of the previous chapter.

It's the battle between Hanamichi Sakuragi and Tetsuo.

Sakuragi fell into a disadvantage and couldn't pay back at all.

However, he was in good shape and stood up repeatedly.

But at this time, the delinquents headed by Mitsui surrounded Sakuragi, and it was hard to beat four hands with two fists, let alone five or six people, Sakuragi couldn't help showing embarrassment.

The members of the basketball team became worried about him, but they were all fighting scum, with more energy than energy.

Akagi Takenori, who is in charge of combat power, is currently taking physics class.

At this moment of crisis, the Sakuragi Legion appeared.

They are Yohei Mito, and there are three others.

The Sakuragi Legion gathers.

Sakuragi dealt with Tetsuo, and Yohei dealt with Mitsui Shou.

The other three... Takamiya Nozomi, Okusu Yuji, and Noma Chuichiro deal with the rest of the delinquents.

They quickly overwhelmed their opponents.

Mitsui Shou looks aggressive, but he is actually a weak chicken.

Since he entered the gymnasium, he has been beaten by Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi, and now he is facing Yohei, and he is not an opponent at all.

Mito Yohei punched him lightly and knocked him to the ground.

Later, Mitsui was severely beaten one after another, and was beaten terribly.

Sakuragi was sent flying by Tetsuo's uppercut.Tetsuo is simply an expert in fighting, born to fight.

But Sakuragi didn't care.

On Mitsui's side, he struggled to stand up, but was knocked down by Yohei with several uppercuts.

He was trembling all over, but he still didn't admit defeat, and slowly got up with all his strength.

Kanda Taketo couldn't help but change his mind. Although this Mitsui Hisashi is not a good character, he is indeed very tenacious and has great perseverance.

Mitsui's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating by Yohei, with blood flying everywhere.

Mu Mu and Miyagi were dumbfounded.

Yohei grabbed Mitsui Hisashi's collar and said, "I won't bother the basketball team anymore, and I'm not allowed to come to the gymnasium."

Hisashi Mitsui panted heavily, and stared at Yohei with unyielding eyes.

Sakuragi saw through Tetsuo's punching style, turned defeat into victory, knocked Tetsuo into the air with one punch, and quickly avenged Kakuda, Yasuda and others.

He slammed his fist heavily on Tetsuo's face in revenge.

Except for Rukawa Kaede, he just stroked Tetsuo's face lightly.

This kind of behavior made Rukawa Feng very upset.

Mitsui and Tetsuo lost to Yohei and Sakuragi.

……

Yohei said to the weak Mitsui: "Say it, I won't come here again."

Other badness gave rise to the idea of ​​retreat.

Mitsui exhausted all his strength and lightly punched Yohei in the face, expressing his attitude.

"Why are you so persistent? Mitsui." Other bad people couldn't understand.

Kanda Taketo couldn't understand either.

What is Mitsui Shou thinking in his heart?

Obviously he beat Miyagi very badly, as far as bad, if there is no loss, it is right to run away with tail between your legs when you are at a disadvantage.

Why are you so persistent?
At this moment, many readers who saw here also had doubts.

Kazuya Takasugi was not upset that Ryota Miyagi was beaten badly by Mitsui's despicable means, but seeing Mitsui now, he didn't feel angry anymore, and developed a strong curiosity about this character.

Mitsui's story has already been foreshadowed by many words. What is Mitsui's previous story that has been described with so many pens and inks?

Knowing the location of the gymnasium, knowing Yasuda of the Shonhoku basketball team, and even the current plot in the comics, Mitsui also knows Muki who stepped forward to stop Yohei.

He clearly knew the members of the basketball team, so what happened between Mitsui Shou and the basketball team?

Curious, in short, very curious.

Many readers think so.

They looked at the comics impatiently.

Takenori Akagi, who was in physics class, returned to the gymnasium after class.

He took a look at the situation and understood it.

Walking in front of Mitsui Shou, he raised his hand and slapped Mitsui across the face.

Obviously, Akagi also knew Mitsui, and he was not surprised by the current situation.

The story is about to be revealed, and the readers are looking forward to it, there is only something to be continued...

"Eh! Is it over?"

"Akino Mirai, this guy really whets his appetite!"

"What the hell is going on!"

Kanda Taketo also wanted to go crazy, and deliberately left the suspense in the next chapter. Is the so-called manga artist such a bad guy?
But unknowingly, he gradually forgot the emptiness in his heart, and changed to curiosity about the follow-up comics.

"Tch, I will definitely not read the next episode."

He was about to go home from the park, but when he arrived at an open space, he found several children playing basketball.

It's obviously not a basketball court, but it's fun to play.

A flash of nostalgia flashed in Kanda Taketo's eyes, he put Jump under his armpit, turned around and went to the Internet cafe.

……

At the end of January this year, "Slam Dunk" began serialization, and it has been more than 8 months since mid-August.

"Slam Dunk" is also serialized to the 30th words.

"Weekly Shonen Jump" editorial department.

Kazuhiko Torishima sat at the computer desk looking at the data, and he kept nodding.

"Slam Dunk", which started playing in April, stabilized the declining circulation data of Jump, and the circulation has been rising every month since then.

450 million volumes, 457 million volumes, 464 million volumes...

As of August, the latest weekly circulation data has reached 8 million copies.

Although it is still far from the jump's peak of 653 million volumes, this is already a very good result.

It was beyond Torishima Kazuhiko's imagination.

Akino Tori's "Slam Dunk" was unexpectedly popular, and its popularity quickly reached the number one spot. The influence of the work continued to ferment, breaking through the boundaries of manga once again.

It is only 24 jumps away from the request of Tori Akino Mirai to complete a work.

It seemed far away at first, but now it is within reach.

Kazuhiko Torishima was very excited, and at this moment, Sasaki came over.

"What's the matter? Sasaki."

"I think it's time to prepare a booklet for "Slam Dunk"." Sasaki said calmly.

Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, it is right to strike while the iron is hot.

"In the follow-up plot of "Slam Dunk", the breaking point of a new chapter will appear." Sasaki is very confident about this.

"By that time, the popularity of "Slam Dunk" will definitely rise to a higher level. So releasing a booklet is a very correct choice."

Torishima Kazuhiko glanced at Sasaki, he has always valued this subordinate very much.

When Tori Akino contributed to "Soul of Chess" in the future, the person he contacted was Sasaki.

It was Torishima Kazuhiko's choice to entrust this bird Akino, which he had painstakingly dug out, to Sasaki.

And Sasaki's vision did not disappoint Kazuhiko Torishima. After watching "Soul of Chess", Sasaki believed that Akino Tori would be the pillar of Jump in the future.

Glancing at Sasaki, Kazuhiko Torishima said, "I have the same idea. But I want to know, what amount do you think the sales volume of the first volume of "Slam Dunk" will be?"

"Please let me think about it," Sasaki said.

After half an hour.

"Maybe it will reach more than 200 million copies."
