Real: Volume 7

by Takehiko Inoue, 220 pages

The Tigers are gearing up for the first game in the preliminaries to the National Championship. But what can they really hope to achieve with only five guys and no coach?

The realism in this series impresses me more and more all the time. I can't recommend it enough. Not into sports? Me, either. This isn't The Mighty Ducks. Neither is it "Hallmark Hall of Fame". Real is about getting out of bed and facing each day's challenges with all the hope and strength you can muster; and if you can store a little away for the next day, do, as you--or the friend at your side--just might need it.
