THE FIRST SLAM DUNK – Official Making Collection
This book brings together the essential creative foundations behind the phenomenal quality of the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.
Includes a wealth of illustrations drawn by Takehiko Inoue during the filmmaking process to visualise scenes, as well as the scripts and text he wrote to shape the drama – all fully documented and analysed.
A long-form interview of around 15,000 words with Inoue-sensei, revealing his motivations for tackling filmmaking for the first time, his thoughts for SLAM DUNK fans, and his reflections after completing the project.
Features the first-ever publication of Pierce, a rare one-shot manga never collected in tankōbon form, which partly inspired Ryota Miyagi’s story in the film.
Includes posters and promotional visuals released between the film’s announcement and its theatrical premiere.
When combined with the film itself, the synergy of this book is immeasurable – a must-have for fans who want to enjoy THE FIRST SLAM DUNK to the fullest.
