SLAM DUNK 10DAYS AFTER complete

Slam Dunk, a comic series about a red dyed hair high school punk Sakuragi joining a basketball team, was enormously popular in the mid-late 90's along with Dragon Ball and Yuyu-Hakusho all of which were published on the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
The Slam Dunk series has come to a rather abrupt end in 1996 after the Shohoku High School basketball team, the team Sakuragi plays for, defeats the national defending champion Sannoh Industry Affiliated High School. Although the series had run for 6 years and published 31 volumes, the actual time span of the story is less than half a year. The abrupt ending of the series has left lots of unresolved stories such as Sakuragi's rivalry with his team mate Rukawa, his romance (or should we say lack of) with Haruko (his crush who happens to be a younger sister of the Shohoku team captain Akagi), various nationally famous players that got mentioned but never really came in direct contact with Shohoku, etc. Fans were also left to imagine what Sakuragi, who is highly atheltic but is a complete beginner to basketball and a notorious high school gang of the area, would have become of.
"10 Days After" originally was an event hosted by the author Takehiko Inoue in 2004 celebrating Slam Dunk series selling over 100 million copies total. Inoue borrowed an abandoned school building of Misaki High School in Kanagawa prefecture for this event (Incidentally, Kanagawa prefecture is where the majority of Slam Dunk story took place). He drew scenes out of the lives of the prominent characters 10 days after where the series took off on the black boards in the classrooms. Despite lack of major promotion, over 5,000 people came to the school to check out the drawings, excited to discover what happened to the familiar characters they grew up reading/watching after the main story line had ended.
Now due to high demand, they have compiled all the drawings into a book, which the author Inoue declares to be the very final piece of work to be published under the name of Slam Dunk. Inoue did not re-draw the pictures on paper, rather the images found in this book are all photographed images of the black boards from the Misaki High School in 2004.
The episodes found in the book are to be portraying what the characters have been up in the 10 days after the storyline has ended. It is quite a delightful experience to be re-uniting with these characters. Reading this not only gave me a reminiscent feeling but I have also come to realize how strongly established and likable (in their own unique ways) each of the characters was. However, don't expect to find anything new or a clue to any of the unresolved stories from the main storyline as these are more of supplementary episodes about the beloved characters. The author has moved onto his new works such as Vagabond and Real and it seems that the "10 Days After" was done solely for the purpose of celebration and thanking the fans, providing a little something to feed our imagination on but no resolution or new development.
