Product Description
An energizing coming-of-age story about a teenager, Blade Girl follows Rin as she navigates life with a new prosthetic leg. She meets fellow athletes along the way in this three-volume manga full of heart, drama, and action! A Kodansha Print Club series. A NEW SPARK
One year after losing her leg, 16-year-old Rin is tired--tired of the painful physical therapy, tired of being treated differently, and tired of her stupid, heavy, awkward prosthetic leg. All that changes when she encounters the Blade Runners, a group of one-legged athletes who run with "blades"--carbon fiber prosthetics specialized for competitive running, made by their gifted prosthetist, Kazami. The blades are light, flexible, and formidably difficult to control--Rin can barely walk with one, much less sprint. But as she tumbles to the ground again and again, she rediscovers many of the things that she'd forgotten, and finds a new goal: to compete in the Paralympics.
