The first of what will surely be many, many gush-fests about cancelled comics.

What is Hoop Men?: Hoop Men is Yukinori Kawaguchi’s 2009 basketball series about a relatively unskilled Yuuho Satou, who gets into basketball through the unusual circumstance of being able to translate for their new ace, Joshua Kuji Griffin Jr.! A surprisingly subdued story by Weekly Shonen Jump’s standards, and a quickly cancelled mess, but a beloved title I want to explore with you.
What is Friendship! Effort! Victory!: Friendship! Effort! Victory! (or FEV for short) is a podcast about the various titles in Weekly Shonen Jump’s 50+ year history.

Imma keep it real with ya my pure hearted brother in Friendship, Effort and Victory who I just found a week ago.
I’m gonna have some prime salt if you never get to do some of Tomohiro Yagi’s stuff like Iron Knight or Red Sprite.
As a devout Jump fanboy I’m gonna peeling through your backlog so just tell me when the comments get over bearing.
I definitely want to do some Yagi! I’d have to buy Iron Knight, as it passed me by way back when, but Red Sprite is guaranteed in the future
