About the series
Inoue Takehiko's Real (2008–2016) is a raw, character-driven manga from Viz that centers on wheelchair basketball and the lives of three young men grappling with life-altering disabilities. Across its 16 issues, the series explores themes of resilience, identity, and redemption with Inoue's signature emotional depth and kinetic artistry. A standout work from the creator of Slam Dunk, Real matters for its unflinching, humanistic portrayal of athletes and the quiet power of sport to rebuild a life.
