The main character of "Slam Dunk" is not Hanamichi Sakuragi, Takehiko Inoue talks about the reason

The movie version of "Slam Dunk" is currently being screened. Takehiko Inoue explained that the protagonist is no longer the TV version of Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, but Ryota Miyagi.

He said, "Just copying the original work to make the same thing doesn't appeal to me. If I want to describe the story of "Slam Dunk" again, I still want to do it from a new perspective.

He said that in the process of serialization, Liang Tian is also a character that he wants to describe more. Among the third-year high school students, the gorilla is the central character, and Mitsui also has his story. Sakuragi and Rukawa are both high-school first-year students and are competitors, so the second-year high school student Liang Tian is caught in the middle, so this time I decided to write the story of Liang Tian.
