"Dunkin' Hands" seems to have become a classic in this country, a classic that everyone picks on. Now, the basketball manga "DEAR BOYS" (also known as "Dunking Boys"), which is comparable to "Dunking Master" in my mind, has been animated. Like the East is evil and the West is evil before you and me.

"DEAR BOYS" is written by adult-oriented artist Hiroki Yagami, who, as some may know, is also the author of G-TASTE. His characters are handsome in every way.

The initial "DEAR BOYS" also seems to have the shadow of Yagami's obvious adult-oriented existence, the protagonist of the Aikawa and Hikari is a move to reveal the skirt of the guy, but with the publication of the story on the market, Yagami's style of painting in the progress of the shadow of the adult-oriented is even more disappeared. The whole work has also become healthy and upward, with the "Dunkirk" flawed jade **** bright.

"Dunker" success, in addition to the plot arrangement of clever, successful characterization is also an important factor. And likewise DEAR BOYS has the same extremely successful characters. Original article from: Manga Forum Original article by: lenguang2006
