Real, Vol. 1
A motorcycle accident, bone cancer, a speeding truck crashing into a boy on a stolen bicycle—tragic, life-changing events turn the worlds of three young men upside down. Three very different personalities have only one thing in common--their passion for basketball.
Meet Tomomi Nomiya, a young tough whose passion for basketball is at the core of his very being. When he gets into a motorcycle accident rendering a girl paralyzed for life, his world is turned on its head. Tomomi quits his team, drops out of school, and struggles to find some kind of resolution to his oppressive feelings of guilt.
From the creator of Slam Dunk and Vagabond, also available from VIZ Media.

One of the best and most realistic manga i have ever read, it follows the life of 3 young men and how their life got turned upside down, Tomomi Nomiya who got into a motorbike accident and ended up disabling the girl who was ridding along with him, everything went wrong for him as he's been carrying the guilt on his shoulders ever since and has quit the basketball team (which was his passion) and school. Kiyoharu Togawa, who had bone cancer in his leg and had to get it amputated, he's now in the wheelchair basketball team and lastly Takahashi, who after stealing a bicycle got hit by a truck and ended up with a spinal injury that disabled him for life. The story takes us through their lifes and how these incident affected each one on a different level, the story is really close to real life that we truly feel a connection to these characters, we feel upset when they're having troubles and happy once they overcome them. Although the book has a lot of drama and such it still incorporates the passion of basketball or sports in there and this is one of the main aspects that i love about it, as it has a great balance between good situations for the characters and bad ones as well as the unexpected ones which is how life is and I recommend it for whoever is interested in wheelchair basketball of just likes to read a manga with a good story, well-developed characters and realistic situations.

Real is one of Inoue’s less popular manga compared to Vagabond and Slam Dunk, but its story is truly remarkable.
In the first volume, Inoue introduces us, as readers, to the world of wheelchair basketball.. what it’s like, how the game is played on the court, and the fighting spirit of a person with a disability who passionately plays wheelchair basketball and refuses to be seen as “handicapped.”
The upcoming volumes promise to be highly engaging, as there may be extraordinary character development ahead!

A downright amazing manga that deals with a lot of Inoue's favorite themes (finding your passion in life, the price of ambition etc.) which he then combines with the one thing he's most passionate about, basketball.
Inoue also did an amazing job with the writing and characterization, once I got done with this first volume I was already very attatched to most of the characters and felt that I had a good idea of what they were about. The biggest problem of Inoue's other work (Vagabond) doesn't seem present here. So far at least.
Truly the type of manga that begs to be reread so you can appreciate its marvelous craftsmanship. It's also the type of work that captivated me so much that it makes me want to meet Takehiko Inoue in person just so I can shake his hand and thank him. May sound silly, but that's how it is.

Lately, everything has been going wrong for 18-year-old Nomiya. He's been expelled from school, he's struggling with guilt over his involvement in a motorcycle accident that left a girl disabled, and worst of all, he was kicked off the basketball team. Basketball was his life, and without it he feels aimless and depressed.
While visiting the hospital one day, he hears the sound of dribbling from a nearby court and goes to check it out, only to discover Kiyoharu - a guy whose passion for basketball and competitive nature rivals Nomiya's own...and who happens to be in a wheelchair. During the ensuing pick-up games and grudge matches, polite wheelchair basketball games and down-and-dirty foul fests, the two form an unlikely alliance that's driven as much by competition as friendship.
Real is lot more mature and realistic (in both story and art) than most manga. The artwork is very impressive, the story is unexpected and can be appreciated even by non- sports fans, and it's great to see a character of color and a person with a disability in the two lead roles. There is one scene of full-frontal male nudity, but it's not gratuitous, and it shouldn't stop anyone from recommending this to basketball fans, teenage guys, people who like realistic graphic novels, and/or anyone who is looking for for a unique read.

Realest, rawest—Wheelchair basketball! An original Inoue art!
Nomiya and Kiyo's characters are adorable. A basketball duo; one with a handicap that is not a handicap, and one without a handicap that is the handicap. I swear Inoue loves slapping ironies in his artworks. And, apparently, Inoue conjured up Matahachi's character here as Takahashi. I feel the same negative vibe and I hate it. Kidding, I think I'll learn to love the guy...
I love Takehiko Inoue's art so much!! There is just the comedic vibe that I long for, and the evocative voice on the sides. It's very him. And I swear I died laughing with Nomiya trying to leave a "trace" of him on the school ground. I died staring at the panel that I literally called my brother to let him see what Nomiya did! HE JUST TOOK A DUMP ON THE SCHOOL ENTRANCE, NAKED! HE SAID HE WAS TRYING TO SPELL "GOODBYE"! I SWEAR I DIED! TAKEHIKO SURE KNOWS HIS HUMOR. Augh, I really love him so much!
And it saddens me that this series had only 14 or 15 volumes this far. But I need to read this, it doesn't matter if I'll get brokenhearted later. So, let's see!

A slice of life usually doesn’t move me, but this one moved me way too much for my liking. a masterpiece for the genre. I’ve read this series over three times, and it gets better every time. I find this work better than the other two series (Vagabond and Slam Dunk). You can relate so much to the three main characters in this story. The story of human struggle is the story of our own lives. There are real-life lessons in the story. It's a story of losing everything, hitting rock bottom, and then having the courage to come back stronger and better.

(vol. 1-13)
Karya dari komikus ternama Takehiko Inoue, yang sebelumnya sudah menelurkan komik basket termasyhur di tahun 1990-an, Slam Dunk. Yang ini juga berkisar dunia basket.... tapi kalau Slam Dunk tentang 'pebasket', Real lebih mengisahkan soal 'manusia yang hobi main basket'. Perbedaan yang kedengaran tipis, tapi penting.
Jalur plot Real memang tidak 'selurus' jalur komik sport pada umumnya. Fokus narasinya juga lebih banyak mengupas hal-hal di luar lapangan, dengan tiga protagonis: Togawa (bekas pelari yang beralih ke basket kursi roda), Nomiya (anak drop-out dari SMA yang cinta basket), dan Takahashi (bekas teman setim Nomiya yang kemudian mengalami kejadian tragis). Cerita berpindah-pindah antara ketiga pemuda tersebut, dengan sesekali jalan mereka saling bertemu.
Membaca beberapa volume awal Real berasa seperti ada yang meninju ulu hati saya berkali-kali. Komik ini bukan jenis drama tragis berurai air mata, tapi secara piawai Inoue-sensei mampu menyampaikan efek emosional yang autentik tanpa terkesan melodramatis atau mengada-ada. Ada benang merah di antara ketiga protagonis berupa 'dirampasnya hak untuk melakukan sesuatu yang disukai', dan beban perjuangan mereka untuk memperoleh kembali hak itu sangat terasa. Sangat menarik melihat interaksi mereka bertiga dengan orang-orang terdekat masing-masing, dan bagaimana mereka (khususnya Takahashi) berkembang dari sikap egois, congkak, maupun buta arah tujuan.
Kadang saya ingin pertandingan basketnya lebih panjang dan rinci, tapi saya juga paham fokus komik ini berbeda dibandingkan Slam Dunk yang satu pertandingan saja bisa sampai 7 volume, haha. Bagaimanapun, saya jadi dapat pengetahuan baru soal basket kursi roda dan sistem 'poin pemain' di dalamnya. Jumlah dan durasi pertandingannya relatif sedikit, tapi momen-momen penting tetap tergambar dengan baik; seperti perjuangan para pebasket menggerakkan kursi roda mereka sambil berkomunikasi dengan rekan setim, atau filosofi Nomiya sebagai Point Guard sejati yang ingin menghasilkan 'reaksi kimia di lapangan'.
Bicara tentang siJason Kidd kecebur kali Nomiya.... anak ini memang berasa obat penawar di tengah semua momen emosional. Terkesan berandalan, tapi sebenarnya lugu dan tulus. Gayanya yang 'salah ngomong melulu' dan jurus andalannya berupa 'oleh-oleh dari Ibu' selalu bikin saya ngakak. Mirip Sakuragi di Slam Dunk, ini jenis tokoh yang enak buat lucu-lucuan, tapi juga mendorong rasa bangga setiap ia (akhirnya) berhasil mencapai sesuatu.
Soal gambar, rasanya tak perlu dipertanyakan lagi. Paneling, anatomi badan, ekspresi, pergerakan.... semua itu sudah jauh di atas level rata-rata. Real mungkin tidak punya momen sensasional sebanyak Slam Dunk (pertandingan epik) atau Vagabond (duel pedang), tapi adegan sehari-harinya pun mampu meninggalkan kesan mendalam. Saya juga suka metafor visual untuk menggambarkan apa yang dirasakan tokoh-tokohnya kepada pembaca yang masih memiliki tubuh sehat (msl. panel kaki Togawa yang terisap ke dalam lumpur saat ia tengah berlari). Terakhir, cukup banyak halaman berwarna yang memanjakan mata pembaca.
Patut disayangkan, komiknya sepertinya agak tersendat di Jepang (*saat review ini ditulis). Ada juga saat-saat di mana fokus narasinya terasa melemah, maupun pilihan alih bahasa untuk edisi Indonesia yang kadang membuat alis terangkat (peluit -> bel, sixth man ->sicks man, center->pemain tengah). Bagaimanapun, dengan mempertimbangkan semua 'ledakan' yang terkandung dalam komik ini, hal-hal tersebut rasanya bisa diabaikan.

(Review de los 94 caps que hay fuera ahora)
-Si, es un manga de chavales en silla de ruedas jugando al basket +Wtf bro, I'm not reading that. Y yo era igual, leí las otras dos de inoue (vagabond y slam dunk) y me encantaron (vagabond fue mi manga fav) pero había algo en la premisa de esta que no terminaba por convencerme. Hasta que bueno lees 5 caps y te das cuenta de que Real es Una Cosa.
La historia va de tres adolescentes, no necesariamente en silla de ruedas, que se dedican a encontrar su propio camino, su lugar en el mundo y overcomear todo lo que les tira la vida. No parece la gran cosa, pero para mí lo ha sido.
Toda mi vida desde mis primeros recuerdos he estado expuesto a muchas obras: mejores, peores, indiferentes, emocionantes... pero ninguna me ha llegado tanto como esta. A nivel técnico es una puta locura el dibujo, los diálogos, cómo están llevados los personajes, hasta cómo se distribuyen los paneles es algo que está pensado para decir algo. Y de esto va Real para mí, de decir cosas. Son situaciones durísimas, pero es la esperanza, la luz que tiene esta historia lo que de verdad me conmueve y hace llore y una y otra vez a lo largo del manga. Una colección de momentos increíblemente viscerales que se quedan grabados en la memoria.
Yo creo que es mi cosa de ficcion favorita y vine aquí para decir que POR FAVOR si alguna vez piensan en manga y no saben que leer le den un try a este.
«No es un pecado estar enfermo, verdad?»
«Quiero ser una persona mejor»
«Esa sonrisa que tenías ha sido la alegría de toda una vida para mí»
«Hay días a los que miras atrás después de 5 o 10 años y los ves como el momento en el que todo empezó a cambiar»

Real is a manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue of Slam Dunk! fame, returns to tells a story that deals with wheelchair basketball. This tankōbon collects the first six chapters of the on-going series.
Tomomi Nomiya seems to be the typical delinquent and high school dropout. It soon becomes clear, however, that he suffers from crushing guilt over a traffic accident he caused which cost Yamashita Yasumi, a girl he picked up, the use of her legs. Nomiya is obsessed with basketball, and not being able to play on the school team has left him directionless and without joy until he met Kiyoharu Togawa and forms a begrudgingly and unlikely friendship.
Kiyoharu Togawa was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and loses his right leg below the knee. He finds solace in wheelchair basketball and is a fiercely competitive player, and left the Tigers, the team because he felt the other players weren't as serious as he was, but he still loves basketball. He forms an unlikely friendship with Tomomi Nomiya and finds a new resolute in rejoining the Tigers being outplayed by Nagano Mitsuru, another wheelchair basketball player – the first time someone in a wheelchair has beaten him in wheelchair basketball – a person he wants to defeat.
In a parallel story, has Hisanobu Takahashi is a typical high school alpha male – captain of the basketball team, popular with girls, effortlessly smart, and a bully to other so called inferior students. In an effort to give his girlfriend a ride home after school, he steals a bicycle, is chased into traffic, and is hit by a garbage truck, rendering him paralyzed from the chest down. Not much else is known about him or his story, but as a basketball player, the two stories would combine sooner than later.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. For the most part, this is a more serious take on basketball with more character development in a realistic setting. It features a cast of characters who find themselves being marginalized by society, but are all united by one common feature – a desire to play basketball, with no place to play it in – it is a promising start to an equally promising story, hopefully it would fulfill it.
All in all, Real, Vol. 1 is a wonderful beginning to a new series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Manga hermoso, puse solo el tomo 1 porque me da lata poner los demás, pero en general es un muy buen manga, siempre vuelvo a el cuando me siento mal, el manga tiene 3 protagonistas, un hombre que busca su camino en la vida, alguien que después de un suceso trágico tiene que lidiar con las crisis existenciales sobre su persona y una profunda depresión y el último protagonista es un hombre en silla de ruedas que no se puede llevar bien con su equipo pero que quiere mejorar en el básquetbol, el manga aún sigue en publicación así que estoy pendiente a un nuevo capitulo

May 30, 2018I read this to evaluate whether it really fits within graphic medicine or not, knowing full well I wasn't really going to enjoy it because it just isn't my thing (frustrated 18ish year olds obsessed with basketball). So I'm not giving it a star rating - not fair to really.
All that said, it is certainly relevant to graphic medicine. Social commentary on disability, attention to the medicine of spinal injuries, and several different hospital scenes just in the first volume.

A realistic manga about several teens who have their lives altered through accidents or a medical diagnosis that leads to their paralyzation. And it’s centered around their love of basketball and discusses wheelchair basketball.
Insightful and heartfelt in their pain or inability to connect with others though their frustration or fear.

Dynamic sport action with plenty of trauma, emotional and physical.
Delinquent teen trying to just play basketball makes an unlikely team up with a wheelchair basketball player. A great friendship in the making?

I’ve read the first like 5 volumes and wow these characters are so real. There are three different main characters going through so much. Wheelchair basketball and general disability psychology are interwoven so well. The storylines seem separate right now but I’m excited for when it comes together

Takehiko Inoue es uno de mis artistas favoritos de manga, así que siempre intento releer alguno de sus mangas de vez en cuando. Hace poco terminé Slam Dunk de nuevo asi que tenía muchas ganas de releer Real.
Real es la historia de Nomiya, un estudiante de secundaria un poco problemático que ama el basquet, y luego de un accidente en el que su acompañante, una chica que se llama Yasumi, queda en silla de ruedas se empieza a replantear de a poco su vida. En una de sus visitas a Yasumi conoce a Kiyoharu, un chico en silla de ruedas al que también le gusta el basquet y también es bastante problemático, y los dos empiezan una especie de amistad que los lleva a enfrentarse a sus problemas.
Me gusta mucho este manga porque los personajes son muy interesantes, la historia es bastante inusual y como siempre el dibujo de Inoue es excelente.

I first fell in love with Takehiko Inoue's Slam Dunk anime series, about a high school misfit who learns basketball to impress a girl he loves. This manga series follows in the basketball fun with a focus on wheelchair basketball. But as always with his works, the characters are paramount, and you get sucked into their world of stuggles and emotion, which are real, not melodramatic, and punctuated with humor all throughout. Inoue is a talented storyteller, and by now, one of the top artists out there.

This book is about a kid in high school who is trying to be one of the best basketball players around who makes friends with crippled kids in wheel chairs who also love to play basketball. I only read the first book so I don't know much of what really happens after the end of the book. I thought it was a decent book, a little confusing to read. If you're into manga comics than this would be a great book to read.
