CATDOLL: Japanese media speculates: Shueisha's personnel changes may lead to the revival of "Slam Dunk"

Recently, Japanese gossip network media "CYZO" published an article saying that Shueisha has started a series of personnel adjustments, among which the editor-in-chief Kazuhiko Torishima, who previously stopped the serialization of the manga "Slam Dunk", has been transferred to Hakusensha, so the manga "Slam Dunk" may be revived. Now the sales of Shueisha's manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" have also declined. If "Slam Dunk" can be revived, maybe "Weekly Shonen Jump" will usher in a new golden age again.

According to the website, a person in the publishing industry said that although the ending of "Slam Dunk" we saw was that Shohoku High School lost the second round of the national competition, it was actually originally planned that Shohoku High School would continue to win. The reason for this result was that the original author of the work, Takehiko Inoue, and the editorial department had a dispute over the copyright of the game, etc., and Torishima Kazuhiko ordered the manga to be completed, and the two fell out. The manga "Slam Dunk" was forced to end, and Takehiko Inoue no longer serialized the manga in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

The manga "Slam Dunk" was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from October 1, 1990 to June 17, 1996. At that time, it was one of the three pillars of "Weekly Shonen Jump". The manga has a total of 31 volumes. At that time, many readers asked if it was not finished at all and when it would be serialized again. Inoue Takehiko said that "youth is imperfect" and did not give a substantial answer. If this news can come true, maybe it can fulfill our youth dream. However, the news was released by "CYZO", a Japanese gossip-oriented online media. Whether the manga of "Slam Dunk" can really be started again, we should wait and see.
