The manga is about wheel chair basketball. Something that people don't think about & has little representation has been made into a beautiful story worth telling. A story about over coming hardships, passion, & regret all while not falling into obvious tropes that are typically told. I loved how the manga made me think about the characters and the story, which is a dumb compliment but not many make me do that.
All of the three main characters are so well rounded & feel real. Nomiya is a delinquent who got into a motorcycle accident making a girl become disabled. After that his life spiral downwards by becoming a highschool dropout & looking for any way to help the girl out to find forgiveness in himself & her. Throughout the story we follow him trying to find purpose in his life after the accident. Nomiya is a very mature character where looks will give a wrong impression of what he is capable of. Togawa is defined in a wheelchair trying to be the best player for his team to win. Out of all of them he is the one who falls into the tropes of sports but his backstory is far from it. Honestly his background into how he picked up wheelchair basketball is just as interesting as his ongoing story. His backstory is a perfect example of what a backstory is. Then there is takahashi, who is a typical bully character being very prideful & narcissistic with himself. He then goes through a accident where it leaves him unable to walk. This causes his basketball group of friends to avoid him & everyone else from school. He goes from a character that you hate to rooting for him to get better. His story goes more in depth into what being disabled feels like & facing the harsh reality.
I am not even done with the story but I already felt like writing the review already. All the characters & the people around feel real. They are so three dimensional that it feels like it is a real story being told. I love Inoue & the story that he decided to tell. I feel like this is a manga everyone needs to read. God, every chapter had me rooting for every character and getting me hyped at each of their small or big victories. I truly hope every character gets what they want, get what they deserve. (I might write a review with spoilers when l'm done).
