About the Series
Kuroko’s Basketball Replace PLUS is an official manga spin-off based on the hit sports franchise created by Tadatoshi Fujimaki. Illustrated by Ichiro Takahashi and adapted from light novels by Sawako Hirabayashi, the series explores unseen off-court memories. It focuses on the everyday lives of the famous Generation of Miracles during middle school and high school.

Readers get a glimpse into Teiko Middle School field trips, festival events, and after-school hangouts. It provides rich context for how the core rivalries and friendships originally developed.
Ichiro Takahashi faithfully captures Fujimaki's distinct character designs while adding lively facial expressions tailored for comedy. The narrative weaves humor with nostalgic interactions among Tetsuya Kuroko, Taiga Kagami, and the Miracles. These hilarious side stories expand the emotional lore of the basketball universe.
Serialized on Shueisha's digital platform Shonen Jump+ from 2015 to 2018, the manga accumulated a total of 10 volumes.
