Kuroko no Basket - Muro-chin Ano ne (Doujinshi) Manhua

Title: The Unseen Rival In the heart of bustling New York City, amidst the chaos of honking cars and rushing pedestrians, two basketball players stood on the court, their gazes locked in a fierce rivalry. Alex, with his lightning-fast moves and impeccable shooting skills, couldn't shake off the feeling of being constantly overshadowed by his teammate, Jake, whose natural talent and charisma captivated the crowd with every game they played. As they dribbled and weaved through the defenders, Alex's mind churned with a mix of determination and frustration. He had always been in Jake's shadow, his efforts often going unnoticed while Jake basked in the glory of the spotlight. One fateful game, as the score remained neck and neck, Alex felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. This was his chance to prove himself, to show the world that he was more than just a mere sidekick to Jake. With a sudden burst of speed, Alex broke through the defense, his eyes fixed on the basket. In a moment of pure instinct, he took the shot, the ball soaring through the air in a perfect arc before swishing through the net. The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices blending into a symphony of astonishment and awe. Jake looked at Alex, a glint of respect in his eyes that Alex had never seen before. In the thunderous applause that followed, Alex realized that he didn't need to compete with Jake. They were two halves of a whole, each complementing the other in ways they never thought possible. As the final buzzer sounded, Alex and Jake shared a knowing smile, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken bond that had formed between them. From that day on, they weren't just rivals on the court; they were teammates, friends, and champions in each other's eyes.
