Among the many pces to direct fan disappoi was the ending of Sm Dunk, a moment that left many followers feeling disillusiohe end of the movie arture from everything Sm Dunk represented, with Billy already w on the installment, featuring Sakuragi/Will as the clueless rookie.

  Without wasting more time, the story of a rookie joining the Sm Dunk league was unfolding.

  -It ended suddenly - whispered Kevin Durant, one of the best basketball pyers of his promotion, still fotten. Without giving himself space, he re-read the manga in his hands. His entire basketball team was there, each holding their manga, while athered nearby to read together.

  The most-read manga in the history of Lux Animation, with 3.3 million sales in its initial release, did not st long, but ic sales were projected at two million copies. However, the factory kept printing, and now the budget is projected at eight million. With numerous orders, including only the Ameri market, it might bee the best-selling ic of all time.

  -How magnifit is the basketball world - ented Pierce, a member of the basketball team.

  -Lazy worms, we have a game to py, and you better py with all the dedication required for such quality work - said the coach, with his usual harsh, stern, and strong voice.

  The magical world of Sm Dunk remaiched in the eyes of all children as "the basketball world is a pce few truly uand," with its intense ending and the tears of the victorious team. Few could grasp both triumph a.

  Journalists say that now people have ars in their game, adapting to the new culture, and eg with something as familiar as the basketball world. The main team has it all: first, a great defensive ter with the spirit to be a captain, though g the strength of other petitors. He is weak and often loses but is the glue that holds everyoogether. The sed positioures tactical pyers: a great point guard with excellent hand skills, and his Puerto Ri roots, along with a problematic kid with a great three-point shot, an expert in triples.

  A star who carries the team on his shoulders and dreams only of basketball, and a great dunker who jumps as high as the gods demand but fails. The result is that children want to be like the manga characters. A study shows that basketball circuit sales increased by 20%, partits by 20%, and the game among children by another 30%.

  Street teams emerge neighborhood teams are born, new academies, and new basketball tours arise.

  -It’s the end of Sm Dunk, but also the end of Samurai X and Shaman King - Billy told Anne Hall, who was frankly astonished by leaving behind three of the best-selling series.

  -Wait, isn’t that logical? How is it possible to do this so quickly? - Anne said, clearly upset, about three of the best series, those that had sold millions of copies.

  -I’m blocked with Samurai X - Billy replied.

  Anne’s jaw dropped pletely… of course! He needed inspiration to tinue his series. Without it, the quality of the ics might pletely dee. However, uhe agreement of failure, they tinue.

  -That’s why I want to focus on these id advance. Over the st few days, I’ve been drawing 10-hour days. We still have 20 chapters left... and I’m fident that the new Yu-Gi-Oh card series will stand out. But now there’s a “real” manga in yhts. The best pce to tih basketball mangas, a true delicate work of art. Billy’s impressionism has infused mangas like Hunter x Hunter, Sm Dunk, Yu Yu Hakusho, 300, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Hellsing, Samurai X, and Shaman King. An impressionistic reality of high level, but Sm Dunk, Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, and Samurai X... have an impressive level of realism.

  Billy doesn’t want to admit it, but he has found that he prefers hyperrealism above all. It challenges him, and that’s why Real, a work of at least 90 chapters, has been a moal task for Billy. The first chapter tains some of the highest drawing standards from periods of 1 to 5 hours per page. And he ’t deny that the challenge makes him want to keep drawing. All the drawing is done in such a way that upon publication... it might win an award.

  -Don’t get all worked up... I have a surprise - Billy said, extending his hands to hand over the manga of Real.

  The design and drawing were so magnifit that Anne could see how the manga perfectly plemes title.

  -You’ve taken hyper-realism to the extreme. I’m curious if it’s meant to respond to a tragic real-life story... how magnifit and challenging it is - ented Anne.

  -We’ll use a ype of printing for this. Laser printing - Billy said. - This will repce the Sm Dunk manga, but I ’t draw as quickly as we did the first time. It’s plicated, but it took me 4 days, w non-stop to shape it.

  Billy approached Anne, and she shifted unfortably.

  -Well, I think you could win the Pulitzer if you keep w the way you are - Anne ehe story even had a poetic method, something unon and in some cases mixed with an ued power of poetry and strength.

  -I’ll probably win the Nobel Prize for Literature - Billy joked.

  The pure and revolutionary drawing style is pletely different from on ics. Anne says it seriously; it requires a lot of effort, and the Pulitzer is on its eople tend to go to the store and buy Billy’s mangas with pleasure. Now they be sold in plete book packs, possibly bought in bulk. By the end of Sm Dunk, Billy improved everything about the ic: the story, script, characters, art, aional depth.

  -We’ll make the pack. I want to sell at least 50,000 copies in the wo years. However, it’s a foolish fantasy. Cartoowork has the lise and hasn’t done a good job. Five years and they haven’t improved the program’s design at all. If we had the teology, the series would be sold in astronomical quantities - Billy replied.

  The end of Sm Dunk had journalists in an uproar when they read the premise that the st manga uedly marked the end of the great-selling series. Everything happened so quickly for those who wanted more and more, but it was logical. It was impossible to have detail—the series had been finished from beginning to end, with a tragic route. For readers.

  -It’s over - murmured Betty , disagreeing about the possible sequences, staring at the tract. She would have to maintain the development of Sm Dunk always in optimal quality, but funding was low. The program insisted on signifit bes from toys, but the bosses wanted more money for two reasons: to sustain Hanna-Barbera and expand the animator work.

  A minor pain was the particur problem of satisfying everyone in the pany.

  -Madam, we received a letter from Lux Animation stating that Warner has breached the terms of the Sm Dunk and Yu Yu Hakusho tracts - Pau Sullen ented.

  Now the game of wsuits was beginning to be seen by Warhe first wsuit was for a disproportionate amount of revenue payments, taxed at double, along with i. The sed wsuit was for the ck of quality in the ic’s image from 1990 to 1995, along with a third for brand damage due to delivering a product of poor quality, with a penalty cuse of 10% of Warner’s earnings for tract breach.

  A fotte on her desk illuminated her mind. In 1992, Billy had sent a half-price subscription for his Autodesk service, as he did year after year. The test arrived at the beginning of the year, which she rejected due to ck of funding. It was better to i in skilled personnel.

  The w firm Mzie & Kirknd & Ellis, Lewis & Associates, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, at the seal caused disfort iy’s stomach. The amount for the first wsuit was 670 million. A multimillion-dolr wsuit, the sed was for the reprint of the st 30 chapters, along with the cessation of the series... the third was 10% of the earnings, amounting to 580 million. Just before, strange maneuvers apparently, Warner acquired Turner Broadcasting, but not just acquire—merging the already closely reted entities.

  -She has learned about corporate warfare - Betty ented, sitting down, pletely exhausted.

  No one in their right mind sues a big pany uhey have the fighting power. ‘The question is, how long has this strategy been in the making to cause such a severe blow?’ In 1993, Warner’s financial statements were made public, all ating books, and now a wsuit is synonymous with a disastrous trial due to the amount. The first instance will be the California court, followed by the national court, and finally, the Supreme Court if it es to that. In terms of amount, nothing different could be another form.
