REAL by Takehiko Inoue
I read a manga (Japanese comic), titled REAL by Takehiko Inoue. The story is about three teenage boys. They are basketball players and love basketball very much.
The first boy, named Tomomi Nomiya, is a drop-out who was a basketball player in senior high school. He doesn't seem to care about anything else besides basketball. After he dropped out, he decided to continue playing basketball by joining a team called TOKYO LIGHTNING.
Nomiya accidentaly met Kiyoharu Togawa, the second boy. Kiyoharu's leg was amputated when he was in junior high school due to a sickness. (I forgot the name hehe). But it was something about his bone, so the doctor decided to amputate his leg. Kiyoharu plays a wheel-chair basketball with his team called TIGER and he chose to become a national wheel-chair player in japan.
The third boy is Takahashi Hisanobu. He went to the same school as Nomiya. A 'high-level-high-schooler', an 'A rank' person, 'the best out of all his friends', that's all Takakashi thought about. He's a basketball player too along with Nomiya, although their relationship wasn't that good. Takahashi got hit by truck when he tried to run away from a man whose bicycle was stolen by Takahashi and his friend, Fumika. Now Takahashi stayed in hospital. He was very shocked after hearing the doctor say that it was imposible for him to walk again after this accident. But he didn't give up, he is undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital to be able to play basketball again someday.
These three boys are 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 11th (you only used nd with 2 as a unit ie 2nd 22nd 52nd etc) volume to be released in Indonesia. The 12th (except this one :D) volume of this manga was released in Japan recently; so I must wait for months or a year for this manga to be released. :(
If you are interested in a story about sport mixed with psychology, you must read this manga! :D
I've collected Tekehiko Inoue's manga like Slam Dunk, Vagabond and this one, REAL. I hope an Indonesian publisher will release other good mangas. :)
I hope this helps, if you're confused about anything dont hesitate to ask.
