Slam dunk volume 1 redraw because I want Haruko and Sakuragi to get married, and I want Zanka and Jabber to get married. Anyway I know this is random, but ever since I reread slam dunk I've been super into it. Originally I was going to make a full original comic about janka x slam dunk, but then if I did I would want to adapt all of slam dunk as janka which obviously would kill me, so I just did a direct redraw of sakuragi and Haruko meeting. (Also I know nothing about basketball outside of slam dunk lol)
I don't know how many people are interested in this au, but in this Zanka (Is in Sakuragi's role) is a delinquent and hangs out with the delinquents (Probably just team akuta and a few others), and while he does all of the delinquent stuff like fighting or whatever, hes still is locked in on school because he used to be a proper student and is still very proud of his grades.
Jabber (Haruko's role) is a transfer student after getting expelled from the raiders high school for getting into fights, and now has kind of mellowed out and mostly focuses on his science and only really hangs out with the teachers. despite being kind of a troublesome students he's really smart so the staff either love him or hate him. He doesn't actually gaf about basketball that much other than it being a fun way to pass time, but his adopted mom, Cthoni (Coach Anzai's role) is an ex WNBA goat, and is now a teacher and basketball coach, and since she doesn't have a maternal bone in her body anytime they needed to communicate, or she could tell jabbers mental health was kinda going down she would challenge him and they would play so hard that the emotions would eventually spill out, so to Jabber basketball is sacred, not because he really cares about it, but because he's a mama's boy. The only reason why jabber recruited Zanka is because Cthoni just randomly brought up that the basket ball club got a little bit less freshmen joining than previous years.
Jabber at first would act sweet at Zanka because he knew Zanka would join, and then get hooked on Basketball later. Once he knows Zanka is actually locked in on the team he would start acting like he normally does and be evil and stuff, and he would do stuff like bake cookies for Zanka, but then lace them with something and Zanka would try his hardest not to vomit and act like it tastes good and Jabber would be laughing his ass off. After the honeymoon period Zanka actually starts getting rage baited really badly, but alas hes too deep into the crush to just leave Jabber.
I didn't really think about anyone else's role, so idk whos on the basketball team.
Anyways, super out of character and self indulgent, but I hope you guys don't mind.
