Eisner-award nominated creator Takehiko Inoue creates a dramatic tale of triumph over adversity. This is the story of three young men whose lives are profoundly changed by their involvement with wheelchair basketball.

Critically acclaimed, award-winning manga artist Takehiko Inoue doesn’t pull any punches in this stunning portrayal of people struggling with serious life issues. Masterfully combining rich character development with beautifully detailed line art, Inoue, the creator of the mega-hit masterpieces Slam Dunk and Vagabond, lifts the manga medium to a completely new level of storytelling.

With the Tokyo regionals coming up, Kiyoharu Togawa is at a crossroads. Should he stay with the Tigers just when they are starting to come together as a team, or should he go to the Dreams, where the level of play is so intense it will surely boost his already formidable playing skills?

If you like Takehiko Inoue's other work you will love his art/illustrations in this too. The story is a more serious and sincere one compared to "Slam Dunk" and the historical "Vagabond", and it makes it seem a lot more "Real". It's one of the few stories that tackles the feelings and daily life situations of youth with handicaps, and makes it cool without making it a fantasy story. A must read for all manga fans, and anyone who appreciates a great story and beautiful, alive illustrations.
