REAL by Takehiko Inoue I read a manga (Japanese comic), titled REAL by Takehiko Inoue. The story is about three teenagers (all boys). They are basketball players and love basketball very much. The first boy named Tomomi Nomiya, a drop-out who was a basketball player in senior high school. He seems doesn't care about anything else beside basketball. After he drop out, decided to continue playing basketball by joining a team named TOKYO LIGHTNING. Nomiya accidentaly met Kiyoharu Togawa, the second boy. Kiyoharu's leg was amputated when he was in junior high school due to sickness. (I forgot the name hehe). But it was something about his bone, so the doctor decided to amputated his leg. Kiyoharu plays a wheel-chair basketball with his team, named TIGER and he is chooses to becaome a national wheel-chair player in japan. The third boy name is Takahashi Hisanobu. He was at the same school with Nomiya. A 'high-level-high-schooler', an 'A rank' person, 'the best of all his friend', that's all what Takakashi thinking about. He's a basketball player too along with Nomiya, altough their relationship wasn't that good. takahashi got hit by truck when he tried to run away from a man whose his bicycle stolen by Takahashi and his friend, Fumika. Now, Takahashi stayed in hospital. He was very shock after hearing the doctor said that it was imposible for him to walk again after this accident. But, he didn't give up, he tries rehabilitation at the hospital to br able to play basketball again someday. This three boys is related in an unique way, i think. They love basketball very much and they're trying to pass the obstacles they're facing. I love this manga very much. I am waiting the 11nd volume to be released in Indonesia. The 12nd volume of this manga was released in Japan recently. So maybe i must wait for months or year for this manga to be released. :( If you are interested in sport and psychological story, you must read this manga! :D I've collected Tekehiko Inoue's manga like Slam Dunk, Vagabond and this one, REAL. I hope Indonesian publisher will release other good mangas. :)
