The echoes of bouncing basketballs and the swish of nets were sounds Akira was all too familiar with. As he sat on the plane, staring out the window, he reflected on how bizarre his situation was. One moment, he had been a regular high school student in Japan, an avid fan of basketball, particularly the anime series "Slam Dunk" and "Kuroko no Basket." The next, he had found himself transmigrated into the world of "Slam Dunk," with the abilities and persona of Midorima Shintaro, one of the Generation of Miracles from "Kuroko no Basket."
The plane began its descent into Kanagawa, where Ryonan High School awaited him. Akira Sendoh, his older brother, was already a rising star in the basketball team, known for his incredible skills and calm demeanor. Akira, now known as Shintaro Sendoh, had a lot to live up to, but with his newfound abilities, he was determined to carve out his own legacy.
Stepping into the bustling airport, Shintaro clutched his lucky item of the day—a small, green frog charm—tightly in his hand. He had adopted Midorima's belief in luck and horoscopes, finding comfort in these small rituals. As he walked through the airport, he couldn't help but notice the stares of curiosity and admiration. He was tall, with a sharp gaze and the signature green hair that marked him as unique.
Akira Sendoh was waiting for him at the entrance, leaning casually against a pillar with that ever-present smile. "Yo, Shintaro! Ready to dominate?"
Shintaro smirked, adjusting his glasses. "Always."
