The Best Ever I was always interested in viewing Harlem Beat, but I never got around to it being young and a new emerging anime fan through the Sailor Moon genre, I spent all of my money or Rayearth and Ranma. Now...7 years later, I must say, manga on a much more realistic level, such as this, is like a breath of fresh air. I got interested in Harlem Beat through reading Rebound in my local library. Since I had already gone so far into Rebound, I decided that I wanted to get back at it's roots and look into Harlem Beat, and I must say, this series keeps me smiling. We know in real life that there's not always a happy ending and the guy doesn't always get the girl or vice versa. The very reason for me why romantic comics get quite boring after a while and feel like a waste of money. Harlem Beat seems to parallel life on a lot of aspects. Me and my sister find Harlem Beat quite inspriring to the point where we quote it. I think it's one of the best series to look into, unless your preference is more towards super powers and romance. In addition to being funny, and having a variety of well developed characters, it can teach you some good lessons to apply to life.
Yahhhhh!!!!!!!!! Hmph. Why are people comparing Harlem Beat to Slam Dunk!?!?! YOU SHOULDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway... I LIKE Harlem Beat. A LOT. Okay, the art may seem strange at the start but soon enough you'll learn to appreciate it. Can you see all the detail? And how the movement is shown? I don't play basketball so I don't know if these moves are impossible but I don't give a darn! Harlem Beat gives great inspiration to bench-warmers and can teach nearly anybody teamwork is what makes a team win.
so cool I first read it in the library because I was so bored. I just happen to pick it. It stunned me right away. I have watch the animation of Slam Dunk, I thought Slam Dunk is the best. But now I am not sure about it. Harlem Beat is so cool. If u luv basket ball, better get Harlem Beat( and Slam Dunk, it's also a great one.)
I LOVE THIS! On my country, this comic has it's own place in the heart of me and my pals. Even though I read some critical text that says it just not worth in this page, I know it's worth it. Natte soon will be going strong. And I already buy and read volume 1 until 27. I think it will be ended at volume 29, and I am really sad about that. The art work getting better through the timeand personally, I am never see something more like it. The story line will be better, and It is the best manga you'll ever read. Just buy it because it is funny, entertaining and it is all you wanted
No where near the SLAM DUNK level Although this book is a funny read, the art is horrible. The impossiblility of the moves is one thing, but to have such horrible form when shooting is another. The artist obviously doesn't play bbasketball, or he just hasn't bothered to watch and see how it's really done. The plot is pretty well thought out, but it's very hard to tell characters apart just by the art. The only variables, it seems, are hair, eyebrows and slight differences in the eyes. Overall this comic is not worth it.
