first of all, do yourself a favor and read slam dunk

misunderstood big guy that look unapproachable (Hanamichi is a delinquent/Banba is mma fighter) to his classmate get approached by the cutest girl to recruit him to a sport team and he joins although he have no experience at all

the dude immediately challenge the captain of the team and manages to score in the most spectacular way in the sport he plays (dunk/bicycle kick)

it's revealed that the character is a one-trick-pony that can only perform that one thing (dunk/bicycle kick)

mc keeps referring to himself as a genius and future captain

mc is pretty violent in field and keep committing fouls

girl that recruited him go with him to buy him appropriate shoes

they have a lot of the similar gag too like using real life people, gorillas jokes, mangaka change artstyle to a cartoonish when characters jests, captain is scary looking but he's a nice guy, dependable guy is useless around girls...

It was a volley kick, not a bicycle. The first is rather easy to do, the second not so much. In a bicycle you have to be upside down while hitting the ball.

At least Banba and Ichiharu relationship isn't like Sakuragi and Rukawa.

Thanks for the comparisons, it does seem like they're really similar. Hopefully it branches off into its own thing like black clover did. I enjoy ole golazo but that's probably because I haven't read slam dunk. I'll read that instead of world trigger once I finish the one im currently reading. Sadly im almost done with the current series but I'll get to that later

Also I just realized their names are pretty similar as well. They both have 2 words, with the second one being a flashier way to score than the more conventional ways. Now I'm starting to think moue may be taking a little too much inspiration from slam dunk...

So no one read D gray Man´s chapter? Speakng about it, would you think this means that Hoshino is not that interested in continuing the story? And Where do you think it would be the end point in case it becomes worse?

Don't really care about the Slam Dunk similarities. I think Bamba is a unique enough character, or at the very least he's a lot different than the current MCs in sports series. And I'd say the over the top, supernatural expect of the series separates it enough, because future matches will be completely different.

I'd say the comparison that they both do the simplistic catoonish art in comedic moments, and use gags referencing real life people is a bit of a stretch though.
Tons of series do that. I mean, even if he's drawing from Slam Dunk specifically, that's still a very common thing in manga in general. Plus even then, the author still has to write in his own jokes

To me it's clearly inspired by Slam Dunk, but not the point where I think artist is completely ripping Slam Dunk.

The setting of the new anime "Saga of Tanya The Evil" reminds me of Red Sprite

To be fair I thought it was a good start and it legitimately is VERY similar to Bleach lol

The first chapter was dope. Loved the main character's personality.
