Thank You and Goodbye, Manu the Dog

Manu (more known as Nung) December 9, 2005 - June 21, 2014 I remember the night you were born. You were so beautiful. You were the second eldest puppy in the litter and the biggest among your siblings. No one said anything but everyone silently agreed that we were gonna keep you.  You might have been the largest puppy but when it came to feeding and finding your way to your mom you were slow and clumsy. You always smelled of poop and one of the other puppies sometimes peed on you. The first time I put you on my lap I was in love. We decided to name you after Manu Ginobili, but we loved calling you Nung among your many (and I mean a lot) nicknames. You were as gentle and loving as you were cute. You have always been photogenic even in your last weeks. That's why you have more pics. Name every angle, we have pics of you. Even when new dogs came, you were the favorite.  You growing up with Dunkin and Chubby was fun to watch. Dunkin was more playful and Chubby ...

Seirin High's basketball team has had little success so far and as a new school year starts, the members saw an opportunity to recruit some of the freshmen and hopefully acquire some talented players. At the outset Kagami Taiga made a good impression with his physique and competitive nature when he handed in his application. The upperclassmen think they have a good find but the others seem average. Among these newbies is Kuroko Tetsuya. Dismissed as physically average by the team coach Aida Riko, Kuroko possesses an ability that's unheard of. Small, unnoticeable, and with almost no skill in basketball, everyone was surprised to learn that Kuroko was the sixth man of Teiko Middle School. Seirin High's starting five. (from left) Kagami, Hyuga, Mitobe, Kuroko, and Izuki Teiko Middle School's basketball team created a sensation when they destroyed most of their opponents during their stint. The starting five were such fierce competitors with no equal that...
