Summary

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。

Rating - 4 / 5There's nothing much to say honestly, it was good and enjoyable。 It didn't have a spark to be a 5 star but it's not bad, I enjoyed reading it and got through it the fastest I have ever gotten through mangas。 Can't wait to read the next volumes。 Rating - 4 / 5There's nothing much to say honestly, it was good and enjoyable。 It didn't have a spark to be a 5 star but it's not bad, I enjoyed reading it and got through it the fastest I have ever gotten through mangas。 Can't wait to read the next volumes。 。。。more

Ryoma gave me this book for xmas and told me I’d love it。 Did not disappoint。 Now I just need to get my hands on all the other volumes。。。

Realistic。 Heartfelt。 Very underrated sport Seinen。

Alicia

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。

Inoue's "Real" will be a really quick read for most, but a thoughtful one nonetheless。 There is substance in the tale of a high school dropout and his new friend who is wheelchair bound, and their passion for basketball。 The stigmas of an lifelong or unexpected disability being the 'end of someone's entire world' and that we should pity those that are affected by it is being challenged, as well as how we view athletes (in this case male athletes) with disabilities。 As I discussed the series with Inoue's "Real" will be a really quick read for most, but a thoughtful one nonetheless。 There is substance in the tale of a high school dropout and his new friend who is wheelchair bound, and their passion for basketball。 The stigmas of an lifelong or unexpected disability being the 'end of someone's entire world' and that we should pity those that are affected by it is being challenged, as well as how we view athletes (in this case male athletes) with disabilities。 As I discussed the series with my boyfriend, a basketball and manga fan himself, it was a joy to express how the manga genre, as well as other printed genres aimed at children and Young Adults (both picture and chapter) give young and questioning readers a chance to address, discuss, and debunk stigmas when they might not be the one immediately affected by it。 It also gives hope for those who are diverse a chance to be inspired by heroes that they can identify with! This turn in trending topics and discussions excites the future educator in me, and gives me hope for the future generations of readers and watchers of manga and anime!I am looking forward to what happens to our heroes in the second volume of the series, which will hopefully arrive at the library as soon as possible! 。。。more

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 Kiyo 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。 。。。more

I don't feel particularly inclined to rate this less than 3 stars, but I wasn't really a fan。 Lots going on, can't wrap my mind around it。 Hopefully volume 2 will be better。 I don't feel particularly inclined to rate this less than 3 stars, but I wasn't really a fan。 Lots going on, can't wrap my mind around it。 Hopefully volume 2 will be better。 。。。more

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?

shea

(Review for the entire series) Idk what to say other than it was good。 I can mule over what I want to say all evening, but in the end, that’s it。 It was good。 I enjoyed it。

Dylan Michael

9/10Bruh。 Most solid start to an Inoue series! Classic art, depressing premise, interesting characters。 Only thing I’m not sold on yet is our protagonist。

Cecil

I picked it for the art and got trapped by the story。Unique characters, very three dimensional, all the feels。Looking forward the rest。

Robert Timmons

Real is from the brilliant Takehiko Inoue (creator of Vagabond) tells the story of three vastly different young men who play wheelchair basketball。 Great story and hoping to read the rest of the available volumes in 2019。 Five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I loved how raw and REAL it felt while reading it。

I 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。 I 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。 。。。more

Great story, sad but worth a read。 I loved the art and characters。

Veronica

Read for work。 A good option for teens who prefer realistic fiction (and some grit) over the scifi/fantasy that tends to overwhelm manga shelves。

if you love basketball youll like it

Je ne suis pas une grande admiratrice des genres shônen et seinen。 Voir des scènes de sport qui se prolongent sur plusieurs chapitres ne m'a jamais passionné。 Et c'est pour cela que Real n'est pas un manga comme les autres。 Si le handibasket semble être le thème de fond, il ne fait pas toute l'histoire。 Ce manga nous délivre une psychologie des personnages comme il est rare d'en voir dans la littérature japonaise。 Nous suivons la vie de trois jeunes hommes, qui d'une manière ou d'une autre renco Je ne suis pas une grande admiratrice des genres shônen et seinen。 Voir des scènes de sport qui se prolongent sur plusieurs chapitres ne m'a jamais passionné。 Et c'est pour cela que Real n'est pas un manga comme les autres。 Si le handibasket semble être le thème de fond, il ne fait pas toute l'histoire。 Ce manga nous délivre une psychologie des personnages comme il est rare d'en voir dans la littérature japonaise。 Nous suivons la vie de trois jeunes hommes, qui d'une manière ou d'une autre rencontrent des difficultés à passer à l'âge adulte。 Ce n'est pas un manga sur le sport mais un manga sur l'obtention de son indépendance。A lire absolument。。。 。。。more

Salah satu hiburan enteng aye selama 2 bulan terakhir, ketika komik dirancang ngga se ngebanyol komik lainnya, krn sesuai judulnya, komik ini ngebahas tema yang "real"。Dari relasi ke teman, anak ke bapak hingga ke keseluruhan keluarga, stress2nya ngebkin hobi basket jadi karir, mekanisme coping nya (entah depresi, adiksi, hingga moment enlightening masing-masing tokoh); ga mungkin saya ga rekomendasi temen2 saya utk ga baca komik ini。 Susah bgt ini komik tamat。 Ud dr jaman smp (2007? 2009?) juga Salah satu hiburan enteng aye selama 2 bulan terakhir, ketika komik dirancang ngga se ngebanyol komik lainnya, krn sesuai judulnya, komik ini ngebahas tema yang "real"。Dari relasi ke teman, anak ke bapak hingga ke keseluruhan keluarga, stress2nya ngebkin hobi basket jadi karir, mekanisme coping nya (entah depresi, adiksi, hingga moment enlightening masing-masing tokoh); ga mungkin saya ga rekomendasi temen2 saya utk ga baca komik ini。 Susah bgt ini komik tamat。 Ud dr jaman smp (2007? 2009?) juga ga kelar kelar hahaha。 Ntah si bapak yg dulu ngebkin seri Slam Dunk ini sibuk apa。 Banyak riset kayaknya ya, dan ngurusin Vagabond yg terbitnya lebih rutin。Tp ide tentang punya komik yg update sepanjang gw masih idup tuh boleh juga sih。 Kontennya jd makin lama makin bisa dimengerti dan relatable 。。。more

(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 (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 si Jason 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。 。。。more

This is a very well-drawn manga, especially the covers are breathtaking。 I've been enjoying sports manga lately。 Even though they have the same troupes going on, but the way they are being executed is really fascinating。 This series explores the group with disability, it is a very intense topic and it is time for us to recognize and learn more about them。 This is a very well-drawn manga, especially the covers are breathtaking。 I've been enjoying sports manga lately。 Even though they have the same troupes going on, but the way they are being executed is really fascinating。 This series explores the group with disability, it is a very intense topic and it is time for us to recognize and learn more about them。 。。。more
