TW: Strong language
Love this volume as it amplifies the other side characters; Hisanobu’s mother was discharged from the hospital. Togawa & Ryou joined the Wheelchair Basketball Camp. Azumi came in as a volunteer. Togawa is competitive as hell & can be cold at times. His ‘scary’ (but cute) face doesn’t help. People either tolerate him or hate him. Just like Hisanobu, he does have a bit of an attitude. “ Basketball is a team sport, not an individual sport.”
Togawa apologises to his teammates at camp for being self-centred. He & Ryou made a lot of friends when the camp ended. Everyone seemed to have a good time even Azumi.
Hisanobu reunites with both of his parents. They ate together for the first time. They’re delighted to learn that he is progressing in rehabilitation. Go, Nobu!
Nomiya gained weight. Aww. He is still waiting for that call to join the Tokyo Lightnings. He better become The Tigers coach! Months passed & the Tigers are getting ready for the Ooruri cup. The scorpion ( Hisanobu’s roommate) gets ready to comeback as a wrestler. I’m excited to see how it plays out. He only started rehab 3 months ago.
“No matter how many labels people put on me, I won’t let them silence me. I’ll say I don’t rate my true self low.”

Finally there is some progress to be seen in the plot.
The story is amazing! But gods is it slow! 😱
Another improvement is how visible time has passed since the first publication of the first volume, and the addition of new plot ideas: We have multidimensional girls!!!
Before, we only had female characters that were just nice background for the male leads.
Now there are some female characters at last with something to tell! for themselves!!!!!
No more Haruko-arcs please! (I loved Haruko, and I'll never forgive she didn't have a story to tell)

Real, Vol. 12 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and collects the next six chapters (67–72) of the ongoing manga series.
Kiyoharu Togawa and Mizushima Ryou go to A-Camp – a training camp for wheelchair basketball. While Kiyouhara Togawa joined on his own Mizushima Ryou was signed up by the coach of the Tigers. Kiyoharu Togawa learned some hard truths about himself – which he thinks of basketball as a one player game – thinking too much like a sprinter and not a basketball player. Through the course of the camp, he rededicates himself to love basketball more – in time for the new tournament.
Hisanobu Takahashi has a goal in mind – to play wheelchair basketball and dedicates his time in his physical therapy to further reach that goal. His mother has gotten out of the hospital from her mental breakdown and dyed her hair blond and the three spend some time together. Meanwhile, Scorpion Shiratori continues his training to be back into the ring by his goal date. The tankōbon closes with his returning wrestling match.
Tomomi Nomiya has a short cameo near the end of the tankōbon and had regressed in his existential exploration – he has gained the weight he lost during his training session for his tryouts and become listless again. However, it does seems like he has a plan of sorts.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. It mainly concentrates on Kiyoharu Togawa and his expeirnces at A-Camp – the wheelchair basketball camp. He learns that he has major deficiencies in his teamwork and leadership skills and learns to overcome such deficiencies during the camp. Hisanobu Takahashi has a minor part where he found a new purpose for physical therapy and a nice outing with his family.
All in all, Real, Vol. 12 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

J’aime beaucoup Ryo et ça depuis l’introduction du personnage dans le tome 9 (si je ne dis pas de bêtise). C’est vrai qu’il a grave le truc pour être un membre des Tigers, pour être très bon au basket aussi
Le père de Takahashi je l’aime bien moi… Beaucoup même. Je ne sais pas ce que les gens pense de lui… Car effectivement, il a quand même abandonné sa famille, son fils, sans aucune explication et il est seulement revenu lorsque celui-ci s’est blessé. Et je n’ai pas le souvenir qu’il est réellement expliqué ce qui s’est passé pour qu’il s’en aille et ignore son enfant… Mais il fait des efforts, pas pour se rattraper [je ne pense pas] mais plus pour faire mieux cette fois-ci et ça… J’aime bien.
Azumi c’est un personnage assez important quand même, mais on l’oublie souvent. Alors qu’elle, contrairement aux garçons, se cherche encore. Elle cherche sa voie et sa voix.
Hisanobu qui s’excuse auprès de sa mère et son père qui s’échauffe pour pouvoir rejouer au basket avec lui… J’avoue QUE… Même si j’suis pas une grande fan de Hisanobu, ça me touche.
« Depuis toujours il se dépêche d’avancer… sans se retourner. Il ne peut pas s’arrêter. »
C’est vrai que Togawa n’est pas très équipe… Après il a fait du piano puis de l’athlétisme, c’est pas des choses que l’on pratique en équipe. Et effectivement, je pense qu’il se met une limite de temps pour sa réussite car il veut que Yama soit témoin de ce grand moment… Sauf que c’est pas comme ça. Il ne peut pas contrôler et encore moins battre le temps. Il ne peut pas contrôler son présent… C’est la vie.

Essa série sempre teve uma progressão lenta, mas esse volume abusou da minha paciência. Ainda é uma boa história, mas são seis capítulos em que nada sai do lugar.

I had this book on pre-order for so long, I almost forgot parts of the story. I wish the volumes would come out sooner, but at least one good thing is that I can get a chance to re-read eveyrthing that came before and refresh my memory. This is one of the few series that I must own every book for. Those of you who read and collect manga know how daunting that can be, and I just don't have the money or shelf-space to be doing that for anything that isn't top notch. This is one of those special series that deserves every page. Every volume builds on the previous, so there's no way to start this series except at the very beginning.
In this volume, one main character runs head first into his greatest flaw-- his bad anti-team personality, and struggles to overcome it. Meanwhile, we slowly start to see how the storyline of one of the main characters, which up to now has been almost completely separate from the other plotlines, begins to merge. And we also see how the 3rd main character, who previously had been tireless and energetic in his struggle to achieve his dreams, has now regressed completely (in a perfectly believable way).

Siguen girando las ruedas, siguen rebotando las pelotas, e Inoue sigue dando clases maestras de dibujo, narrativa y expresividad en cada una de las doscientas y pico de páginas de su otra obra maestra de básquet, más real que ninguna...

I had forgotten how much I love this manga about wheelchair basketball. Must go back and catch up on the vols. I haven't read.

This story has such a great cast of characters. This is probably one of my favourite volumes from this story.
