Deep Purple

Deep Purple is a doujinshi created by Prin based on Slam Dunk. As you can see, it features Sendoh and Rukawa as it's main pairing. I simply love this manga because it's a SenRu. SD doujinshi's are hard to come by and well if there are any, the pairing would most likely fetaure the main protagonists in the story, mainly Sakuragi and Rukawa (-_-), so doujinshi's like this are treasures for SenRu fans like me.

The drawings in this manga are commendable too. The first time I saw snippets of this manga back when I was still watching SD, I thought it was done by Takehiko Inoue himself because the drawing style doesn't differ much.
Plot-wise, Deep Purple sticks pretty closely to the original SD and is not, like other doujins are, too far-off or fangirly-ish. Prin's characterization here of the two is good, so for me, the story can pretty much be woven into the story seamlessly.

Over-all, the manga's good. Worth your time, if you like BL and definitely a must for SenRu fans.

The manga has four scanlated volumes to date. Chapter 1 of Volume five has been released. Nakama did the first few volumes and then Harudaki continued the series. All in all the manga has six volumes.
