# Piercing (Takehiko Inoue) ---  --- This version was scanned in HQ from the “Re: Slam Dunk” book released before the First Slam Dunk Movie. It has never been released officially in English and the scanlations online were a little clunky, so I decided to retranslate the whole thing. It was scanned in Japanese, and I retranslated it into English using the Japanese edition, Italian Edition, and the current English scanlation for reference. Tried to adhere to the original Japanese translations as best I could, but I wanted to prioritize a smooth and natural reading experience. --- This was done by the Colored Council, and is a nice companion/side project to the Slam Dunk releases which are almost done. Come check out the [Colored Council](https://discord.gg/ajXTqdqv9P) for more updates on Slam Dunk as well. ---
