Sometimes moving forward means learning how to live with what you can no longer leave behind.
Three young men find their lives changed by devastating circumstances: Nomiya is a high school dropout struggling to find direction, Togawa is a former track athlete who turns to wheelchair basketball after losing a leg to bone cancer, and Takahashi must rebuild his life after a catastrophic accident leaves him paraplegic. As their paths gradually intersect, basketball becomes more than a sport—it becomes a way to confront anger, loss, disability, and the fear of having no future. Takehiko Inoue's Real is a powerful, deeply human drama about setbacks, determination, and finding a reason to keep moving forward.
