13th day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015



13th day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015
Hello everyone, here is the thirteen day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015.Now as I said as yesterday’s hint that today’s manga is a sport manga I loved and I was so happy when this was made into a fantastic anime. Today’s selection is Kuroko No Basket
Now the reason why I got in to this manga was that my younger sister plays Basketball, and I never really understood the rules or how the formations of a team could affect their play style. This was one of the cases I have used anime as an aid for education so when I would go to her matches I would be able to understand what was going on. The fact that the manga was able to teach me a lot about the game was good as my sister wants me now to attend all of her games. The manga was really good but it wasn’t until the anime was made that it began to get the attention it has received (three seasons of anime and a new spin off manga)

The premise of the story is that a new first years Kuroko Tetsuya and Kagami Taiga enrol in Seirin High basketball club. Kuroko was formally part of the team that is known as the Generation of Miracles, as every main player on the team was highly skilled. Kuroko was the phantom sixth man who speciality in passing and helped support the other members of the team.it is his and Kagamis goal to become the best team in japan which means they must also beat the rest of the Generation of Miracles.  
 One of the best parts about this manga is the character development as the story goes on we understand how people’s attitudes to basketball change as they begin to think about the game as a fun activity and not just a sport where wining is all that matters. It’s a good message that you must enjoy what you do in order to achieve your dreams. It also shows how people can become more determined after they fail and how they become better because they failed in the past.it really a good feel-good manga as it is a journey and as a reader I became really attached to the characters but also shows that you should never give up. I hope to have the same dive to keep going towards my aspirations within my life.    
I shall see you guys tomorrow for the 14th day of the Manga Advent Calendar, here is this hint for today. The manga I will be looking into tomorrow is a retro manga that is the parent of the acclaimed Sword Art Online.  

Bye for now
Fiona
