Description
Kuroko is a member from the legendary middle school basketball team known as "The Generation of Miracles", and while nobody seems to know about him, the main five players of the team all admit that he is the strongest member, the phantom sixth player. When he joins the high-school basketball team, everyone is surprised to find out that he is small, weak, and easy to miss.

What is the secret that makes him so strong, and how will he help his high-school team?

Every fucking one has the same face, but that's okay. Art may improve with time. It's above average sports shounen(Can't compare with eyeshield, slum dunk, giant killing, major, hikaru no go, most of adachi works...). For me the big problem ,a lot of the genre gets, is:you only need one guy to play. IT'S A FUCKING TEAM SPORT, no matter how much a guy are good. It's boring seeing one-to-one duels, they are on par with Captain tsuboring soccer duels...
For a coach who wants to be awesome, she don't do much. Everything is good, but not awesome. Except for the jokes, that man knows how to do funny post-chapter jokes.

 Kuroko reminds me of...

Just started reading this, and the first thing I thought was "Kuroko reminds me of someone."
It wasn't until I was halfway through the first volume that I finally figured it out. "L" from Death Note! XD

That being said, I really enjoyed the first book and look forward to reading more. The characters are interesting, A lot has been said about Kuroko's ability, so I won't say more than "ninja". But Kagami's hyper-shounen-style "I'm going to be the BEST!" is balanced by Kuroko's almost apathetic-but-he-really-wants-to-win character; creating something fresh and fun.

The side sempai characters are almost too nondescript and cliche at first, but they to become interesting during the first tournament. (Love the Captain!) The only one I don't care for much is the lone female, "Coach", but I can live with her.

Definite recommend. I only gave it a "9" for now, but we'll see if things can get even better after volume 1.

The main character is supposed to be somehow known to be unnoticeable. Okay. But once you start paying attention to that person he becomes noticeable, while in this manga, for whatever reason, he's still unnoticeable. I don't get it.

ever since slam dunk, i've been waiting for a fun basketball manga that i could read. cross over came out but after a while, it really started to piss me off and i gave up on basketball manga. until i decided to read this. it's fun, its energetic. and characters are interesting enough to actually keep reading.

 After Prince of Tennis

After Prince of Tennis, I started with this manga but kind of stopped half way. Prince of Tennis has great tennis action but the characters are...sort of... They don't match their ages, let's just put it this way. And Kuroko no Basket has great characters and it's nice how they protrayed Kuroko as someone "weak" only to have him beat a couple of teams, even two of his ex-teammates (so far that I've read).

The last basketball-related manga I've read and liked was Slam Dunk, the other ones just didn't interest me enough, but this one has a really intriguing concept that makes me want to read more.

fairly interesting, and nice take on the main character's ability being his obtrusiveness, but i was somewhat turned off by the notion that the 'miracle generation' was awesome because it was made up of a bunch of individually talented players. If anyone recalls the tragedy of America's 2004 Olympic basketball journey, where a collection of individually incredibly talented players could only win 3rd place due to a lack of working together and practice as a team, you would know that basketball is definitely a team sport.

And in chapters 7-8, when the main character's team was able to whittle down the point differential somewhat from the cooperation of the main character & the guy who went to USA for middle school, the one giant question in my mind was this: if the other team was supposed to be so strong and a regular contender at the nationals, why aren't they able to pass out of a simple double team? If the 2 strongest players are covering one guy, it should be easy to pass to another member of the team (recall that the female manager states that the stats of all the opposing team members are great) and score points. It's basic basketball strategy and made me question somewhat the plausibility of this manga, or the mangaka's understanding of basketball.

i stopped after that, but i may give it a go again after a bit.

first of all, I don't even like basketball that much (let alone sports).
I only started reading this manga after I saw a picture of Kuroko (haha) but i've come to really like and enjoy this series. I hope it has a long run.

This basketball manga is interesting and entertaining, it is different from other mangas. This manga truly shows that everyone has their own unique talents and that the weak can also be strong. This manga is very unpredictable since you get used to the idea that the strong will always climb higher and that the weak does nothing. Also the chapters are short that makes you really want to read the next chapter and it doesn't drags or repeat like other sport mangas.
