Real is Real

This series is beautifully drawn and written. Watching the three young protagonists fall and then slowly rise above their handicaps and shortcomings is very satisfying. I find myself studying each panel of Inoue's art and appreciating the amount of thought and empathy put into his work. I started with Vagabond and went in search of his other works, which led me to Slam Dunk and, especially Real. I read the series on line, but felt I needed to have the books so I could read it over and over.
