Team Handball #3

Three determined young handball players dominate this striking manga-style cover — a fierce blonde, a focused center in an orange number-10 jersey, and an intense dark-haired rival — their expressions radiating the hunger of competitors chasing glory. La Victoire ("The Victory") promises a culminating chapter in Sirisombath and Abdesselam Boutadjine's sports series, with a preface by French handball star Jérôme Fernandez lending real-world credibility to the action. This 2013 Katoji Editions release is a compelling showcase of French manga tackling the passion and grit of team sport.
