[ Releído en 2023. ]

Seirin se las está viendo negras ya que Yosen no solo es bueno en su defensa, sino también en su ofensa. Murasakibara es un rival sumamente fuerte y ni la combinación de Teppei con Kagami y Kuroko, han logrado detenerlo.

Kuroko promete derrotar a su antiguo compañero de equipo y con ello restaurar un poco la moral de Seirin ya que Teppei sigue lastimado de su rodilla y por tanto, su estamina no es la misma que la de los demás.

Al mismo tiempo, Kagami se encuentra acorralado entre la espada y la pared porque jugar con todo su potencial significa perder ese lazo importante con Himuro y está ansioso de volver a entrar a la Zona, ese momento ideal para cualquier jugador en el que no hay nada imposible.

Sin embargo, querer entrar a la Zona tiene el efecto contrario, así que gracias a un comentario de Kise, quien curiosamente pasa por allí, hace que Kagami deje de pensar tanto las cosas y se enfoque más en jugar.

Como siempre, un volumen lleno de plot twists, técnicas sorprendentes y en donde tendrán que sacar todas sus cartas para derrotar al equipo contrario. ¡No puedo esperar al siguiente volumen, la culminación de tremendo partido!

Este volumen contiene los capítulos 154 – 162.

Read it for the #48hourJapaneseReadathon.

At this point, I'm not even surprised by how much I enjoy this series. I can't say enough how incredibly entertaining and enjoyable the pacing is. It feels very natural.

The structure of this volume was very similar to its prequels, but this time the perseverence of the team was shown much more. It became very obvious how much they had to fight through to keep some power on the court.

Murasakibara was quite the beast, too. I hope they'll do a Shingeki joke in the anime, but I'm not sure if they're allowed to, copyright-wise. (It would be hilarious, though, and I won't lie.. If they don't, I'll be somewhat disappointed.)

Teppei and Junpei continue to amaze me as characters. I love their dynamics- with everyone and each other.

Actually glad that Tatsuya didn't evolve passed the point he did. I think it would have tipped the balance of the story too much, but I'm sure we'll see more of his power in the future.

As it is, I think especially Tetsu's rage and teamplay is what made this volume so enjoyable for me. The way he wants to grant Teppei's wish, and be a reliable, strong member for the team, evolve passed his current abilities.. I think he's an incredible character. His understanding of "fun", "teamplay", and basketball are so connected, you can't help but root for him.

Also glad that Kise finally made an appearance. What he said to Kagami was such a good addition to the plot. I'm very excited about the next volume, especially because of Riko and Teppei. (Let there be some extras about her massage ahahaha.)

Wooh! That dunk of Kiyoshi! Niiiiicce! But oh my gawd! He fell. (Gasps) he needs to rest but he doesnt want to. Tsk! So stubborn. Oh my gosh! The way that Murasakibara is playing right now. O_O monster energy. Damn. He even brought the hoop down. WTF he even used "Baysclaw" shiit. Kiyoshi has reached his limit.

Yay! Go Kuroko! He stole the ball and shot. Wooh! Go Seirin!! Lol.. Kiyoshi got all teary-eyed. XD ahahaha so cute. Ahhh that's right. What Aomine said. Kagami is distracted because he's pressuring himself to enter "The Zone" haha! Kise-kun is giving hints. Lol

This volume was sooo goood!!!! I just can't take it anymore! I love KnB to death. Kiyoshi was so amazing in this volume (I cried a lot, like usual) and I loved to see how Kuroko can always sooth his friends mood and cheer them up. The ending was a cliffhanger so I can't wait to read the next volume!

I'd say my feelings about Aomine are conflicted, but basically I just love him. And Kise, too, but him I love without any conflict whatsoever.

Himuro is the only thing that could be considered as beautiful in this volume, the other star was for him. Kise helping Kagamie is a bit weird but I guess fans love it. The whole volume was OK for me, yet to thing I still have to read another volume to finish this fight is too much.

WOWWW! In this volume, the beast was awakened, but not fully! Murasakibara is scary! Muk-kun's energy, strength, and speed is just incredible! It is totally unreal but who cares?! It is EPIIICC! Too bad the skills and scenes are not animated. I couldn't really picture with the manga, it would be epic in motion! The effects will be great! A lot of Muk-kun' skill


AWWWWW KIYOSHIIII! LOVE LOVE LOVE~~~ I reallly like Kiyoshi! He deserves a greatness!

"You defend nothing...I won't repeat it...ever again!" ~ Kiyoshi Teppei

As usual, angry Kuroko = sex

Ohh, I like how we glanced a little bit into the the Teiko past and see Muk-kun. (Even though it was only a page).

"[...]to protect your beliefs, you have to fight and win." ~ Daiki Aomine

OEJREIOGRFCKJHGVROEJFKAW! Some of the things Kuroko do surprise the shit out of me! Fujimaki, you are a god! I never had been surprised at so many things and you were able to write Kuroko no Basuke and surprises me with tons of things! It is so unpredictable and just so breathtaking!

It is also nice to put relieves in with the emotional parts.

"Ah, that's it...how a team is...It is not just protecting them. What protects you is your team as well. It's not like ther isn't a team where they don't support each other. Each one supports one another and...A team is born. That's why...I won't waver anymore." ~ Kiyoshi Teppei

Riko is a badass! WOOT! GO GIRL!

Mirage Shot...is soooo weird!! :O Oh that reminds me, I am quite disappointed that we are not getting a lot of time for Himuro. I want to see more of him. I MEAN DUDE! I was waiting for this BIG Kagami/Himuro show down!! SUCH A LET DOWN!!! ;___________; But I guess it is hard to develop two players (Muk-kun and Himuro) at the same time. But Muk-kun's development was weak too. :\

Overall this volume was quite a let down. Everything was so-so. The play wasn't intense. I didn't felt much for the much. Unlike Toutou' match, this match didn't leave me hyperventalating. At times I was even bored.

"Seirin has the shadow...and a strong light as support." ~ Kiyoshi Teppei

"I feel like Kagami is the light of Seirin." ~ Tetsuya Kuroko

Creo que kuroko no basket 13 es un buen libro porque habla sobre baloncesto y movimientos para aprender cuando juegas baloncesto y también habla de un equipo de baloncesto llamado "SEIRIN", y es el equipo principal del libro, pero podría recomendar este libro a las personas que aman jugar baloncesto y quieren mejorar porque si vas a mejorar en el baloncesto necesitas seguir practicando. Recomiendo este manga a otras personas que quieran aprender un poco de baloncesto.

Tension rising. The final showdown that decides who will go on to the semi-finals of the winter cup, and an unexpected return of one of Teiko's ex-members, a person who got kicked out before the rise of the "Generation of Miracles".

It's such a shame that this manga isn't available in English print.
I've checked every store and they only stock Tomes.
I mean, what did the French do to deserve such privileges?
I would enjoy Kuroko No Basuke infinitely more in book format, but I must make do with online scanlations.
