Add another one to the "why has no one licensed this in English" list. Running Girl (or Blade Girl) is about a sixteen-year-old who lost the lower half of her leg to bone cancer and discovers that wearing a prosthetic does not mean her life is over. It moves a bit too quickly - we never quite get enough back story - and there's some potential for a slightly creepy romantic subplot, but the affirming qualities of the book more than make up for that, and when you add in her father as the primary caregiver (Mom's around, she just works), this has a lot of potential to be both a good story and one that offers some needed representation.

Rin lost her leg, but she lost her motivation to try in the bargain. When her therapist sends her to get her prosthetic adjusted, a young man named Kazami adjusts her attitude as well and Rin may very well be learning to run before she can walk.
This is, in a word, hokey, but it’s very well meaning in its hokeyness and even though it doesn’t quite achieve what Run On Your New Legs did at the start, it makes for an interesting and enjoyable companion piece.
I like that Rin’s injury is not from a big hero moment - she just got dealt a very crappy hand and is trying to deal with it. Well, is being forced to deal with it. She is a big old sullen ball of ‘why me’ at the start, believably so, although she really comes around incredibly fast.
And it’s nice to see her get a big lift from seeing a group of disabled runners as well, which gives her a different sort of support group than just high school kids. It definitely has a more focused approach before it turns to the Paralympics, as these stories inevitably do (not that that’s bad - an obvious goal is still a goal!).
But, it’s engaging and enjoyable while also being corny as hell. There are moments of uplift here that are deadly sincere, but are also really hard to take seriously. The art has moments of strength, but also points where it’s uglier than a mule’s butt (the poor old guy at the stadium).
Basically, it hangs like a feel good movie being made out of a manga. Kazami’s very laser-focused on his goal, but I’m not sure his approach to talking to a young girl is super polite and helpful. Except it is here because of no particular reason, minus a tacit endorsement of tough love.
I mean, you can’t argue with the results, I suppose, but that’s mostly because this is a story. And, you know, these two are off on a journey that looks like it’s going to cross beyond a line of coach and student, which, yep, that’s a gap that is likely to be a thing.
On the bright side, this introduces a rival in both racing and currently-not-a-romance-but-give-it-time-mark-my-words who knows how to strike a blow for disabled athlete representation by showing they can be just as snotty as anybody else.
Again, if you have any buy-in for this highly emotional silliness, and I did, then this is not at all an unpleasant read. The big swing when our rival gets her sort-of comeuppance is incredibly premature in the series (there’s no way Rin should be half this good this quickly), but it’s still fun to see and a heck of a moment, even if I would deem it partially earned.
It’s not that it doesn’t have glaring flaws, it’s that it knows to make its other parts shine just as bright or brighter to account for it. Rin’s parents are incredibly over the top, but in a way where they’re both very excited for their child and her dad is very dismayed by her racing outfit (the art has no such compunctions).
I wouldn’t want to be too hard on this for not being as nuanced or as strong as Run On Your New Legs, especially since that series really bailed out on itself during the pandemic because of how it integrated the pandemic to the expense of what it was trying to achieve.
This doesn’t start perfectly, but it starts with enough gusto that it makes its flaws a lot more tolerable and easy to take. It may be a bit much, but that is typically preferable to not being enough and it certainly has gumption - I’m very interested to see what that cliffhanger ends up being about.
And it doesn’t hurt that Rin is a really likeable character once she has her attitude change from utter defeat to wanting to accomplish something. It is essentially a heel turn, but once she loads up on determination and moxie she really comes into her own.
3 stars - at its strongest, it’s probably a 3.5 or 4 stars, but it’s never quite believable enough. If you like that sort of highly fantastical sports story you’ll definitely appreciate this and that’s not a dig - I had a good time here. It’s certainly fun, if nothing else.

Un primer volumen muy bonito, en el que conocemos a Rin, la protagonista de esta historia de superación enfocada desde el deporte.
Gracias a las prótesis deportivas 👟, Rin recuperará la esperanza en sí misma y en el mundo e intentará correr de nuevo.
Tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo esta historia 🤍

Who doesn’t love a comeback story?
Here, we’ve got 16-year-old Rin struggling to find her way in the world a year after losing her leg. She hates her prosthesis and—more—hates how limited she feels by her loss. But, when she discovers “blades”—prosthetics made for racing—Rin realizes that she may have more options than her disability made her initially believe.
Not only can she learn to walk and run again—she can learn to FLY.
This is so cool.
I love a story that reminds you what it means to be human. We all have our struggles. Different strokes for different folks and all that. You can sit down and feel sorry for yourself or you can find a way to adapt—and LIVE. That’s a story that resonates with everyone.
Definitely recommend this one!
It’s a great pick for readers looking for an inclusive and inspiring and FUN read. This one will give you some big feelings~

"So many kinds of athletes and they're all competing in their own way. Everyone's taking on their own challenge! Even me!"
3.5 stars
I confess when I first started reading Blade Girl, I really struggled because I kept noticing I was comparing it to Run on Your New Legs, Vol. 1, which I know and realize that is incredibly unfair to THIS story. I feel I was struggling with this comparison because I REALLY loved Run On Your New Legs, which again is unfair, but because of that, it DID take me a little bit to get into this one.
However, I can say while Blade Girl and Run On Your New Legs have similarities, they are very different stories. I really appreciated how Blade Girl focused on the struggle of being an amputee and lacking the motivation to walk without a cane. I feel that in this first volume, we really get to see Rin flourish and shine as she realizes she CAN run thanks to a blade. I felt much more invested in her story emotionally because you really see how hard she tried to be where she is by the end, and goodness, was it compelling!
The way she pushes herself and even goes as far as to say "Falling is fun" really spoke a lot to me of her determination and her courage. When she's given an "assignment" by Kazami, she struggles significantly but continues because she WANTS to be able to do this now. However, I want to point out something about that character...
While I do believe some of my struggle getting into this volume was because of comparing it to another series, I REALLY disliked Kazami in the beginning. He is not compassionate or empathetic towards Rin at all and could not seem to get over my personal upset towards his character for a long time because of it. I think it also didn't help that I heard "rumors" of how there was some weird relationship between him, an adult, and Rin, a teenager. I do want to say that I didn't find anything "weird" or even romantic about their relationship, though I think it's safe to say that Rin looks up to him and might have a crush on him, but that's literally been it.
I think something that ended up helping me change my mind about him is that I was surprised how Kazami had his own story as well! I wasn't expecting us to find out some of his motivations and about his "project," but I wanted him to succeed in what he was doing, especially when he tells Rin that it's people like her who give his life and work meaning. Do I still have some beef with him? Yes, because I want him to treat Rin kinder, BUT!
I can also see how he has deeply helped Rin to WANT to run, so it's hard to fully dislike him by the end. She really wouldn't be the person she is now if it hadn't been for him and how he has pushed her to not believe her life is over or dwell on the things she has "lost."
The art was nice, and especially loved seeing full pages of Rin's facial expressions of excitement and joy when she realizes or does something involving running. Having that "glow-up" made me feel emotional because you can really see the happiness she has now.
Overall, I enjoyed my time reading this volume! I would be interested in volume two and hope that Kodansha will print it in the future because it left on a MAJOR cliffhanger! I would recommend this to people who enjoy reading sports and looking for a main character with an emotional and compelling journey!

Tenemos aquí el primer tomo de una serie de tres, en el que el deporte, los sueños, la motivación y la si capacidad, son los cimientos sobre los que se construye esta historia.
Se nos presenta a Rin, una chica atleta que tras sufrir la amputación de una de sus piernas por una enfermedad, ha perdido toda la ilusión y motivación por una vida como la que tenía anteriormente. Además, no progresa nada en sus sesiones de rehabilitación, por lo que su desesperación crece día tras día. Es entonces cuando conoce al club Atlético con discapacidad y a Kazami, un fabricante y diseñador de prótesis deportivas cuyas creaciones son utilizadas por dicho club. Y es aquí donde Rin encuentra de nuevo la motivación e ilusión que había perdido. Incluso tiene un nuevo sueño: correr en los juegos Paralímpicos.
Cuanta falta hace más historias en las que se le den más visibilidad a personas con algún tipo de discapacidad. Me parece un gran acierto tratar este tema en la literatura en cualquier formato: novela, cómic, manga...
Esta historia se lee sola y no decae en ningún momento. Prácticamente te lo lees de una sentada.
El diseño de personajes, el papel que interpreta cada uno, la trama, el guión... Todo hace que en su conjunto sea una historia extraordinaria. Además, me parece una lectura que debería de ser leída tanto por adultos como niños.
Estoy deseando saber cómo continua la historia.

4.5Es un manga ultra mega recomendado, si hubiera tenido los dos siguientes me los hubiera leído de una sentado lo deja en un punto muy álgido y quieres seguir con la historia. Me ha encantado la forma como trata los temas tanto la diversidad funcional, la superación de un mismo, y todo lo que puede conllevar que te falte algún miembro de tu cuerpo. El dibujo me parece muy realista y expresa muy bien las situaciones, no se como explicarlo se puede decir que te sumergir en la historia y vives con ellos y sus vicisitudes, tengo ansia por saber como se van a enfrentar a los siguientes retos que se les planteen. Creo que es muy educativo por los valores que muestra yo lo recomendaría a los adolescentes

Un relat força ensucrat i previsible d'una noia amb una pròtesi que s'inicia en l'atletisme paralímpic per superar el trauma d'haver perdut una cama. Per una part agraeixo moltíssim la representació, que em sembla força acurada i ben documentada, però de l'altra, trobo que el ritme és massa accelerat i la trama es queda un pèl curta. També és veritat que només és una trilogia així que no hi havia gaire marge per aprofundir... Soc generosa i arrodoneixo a 4 estrelles :)

Necesitaba un libro sobre un "run club" para un reto de Popsugar y elegí este. Me ha parecido una historia muy tierna e inspiradora sobre la aceptación y superación. La protagonista ha perdido las ganas de vivir tras sufrir un osteosarcoma y la amputación de una pierna. Pero entonces conoce a los Blade runners, el club atlético de corredores con discapacidad y su vida cambia por completo.
Son tres tomos y este termina dejándote completamente en vilo, así que seguramente lea el siguiente pronto.

⚠️⚠️ avis disponible en français et anglais// reviews in French and English ⚠️⚠️
Avis : une qualité de dessin assez simple. Le manga met en avant que oui notre héroïne a une jambe en moins mais il ne faut pas oublier que tu es quand même vivante. Quand une simple visite à un stade d’handisport redonne goût à la vie par contre la fin m’a énormément déçu car c’est vraiment trop peu 3 volumes pour développer la série pas eu le temps de bien tout développer ce qui est bien dommage car l’idée était juste parfaite .
🦿🦿🦿🦿🦿🦿
Review: The quality of the drawings is quite simple, but the plot shows that the main character may have lost a leg, but she is still alive. On the other hand the ending truly disappointed me, like 3 volumes are really not enough to make a story consistent. Very disappointing as the idea of the story was just so perfect.

Je remercie les éditions Akata pour cette lecture. Un manga qui est très prometteur dès la lecture de son titre. Il aborde le handicap, mais sous une forme différente de ce qu’on a déjà pu voir. Celui des athlètes.
Rin est une adolescente qui a vue sa vie basculer du jour au lendemain à cause d’un sarcome osseux. Elle fut amputée de son mollet droit. Depuis, les médecins essayent de lui réapprendre à vivre, mais avec une prothèse. Pourtant, elle a toujours autant de mal à lâcher ses béquilles. Elle n’avance pas, mais à cause d’une unique raison : elle a perdu toute envie de se battre.
Son médecin va alors lui dire qu’elle connaît un excellent prothésiste, qui pourrait l’aider pour la douleur que lui provoque justement celle qu’elle porte. Sauf qu’en allant voir cet homme, elle se rend compte qu’il se trouve dans un endroit bien spécial : un centre sportif !
C’est ainsi qu’elle va découvrir des jeunes adolescents comme elle, amputés, à plus ou moins différent degré. Ils sont inscrits au club handi sport. C’est des sportifs, malgré leur handicap. C’est d’ailleurs en faisant la rencontre d’un autre créateur de prothèse, mais spécialisé pour les sportifs, Kazami, que ce dernier va redonner de l’espoir à Rin. Elle obtient un nouvel objectif de vie : celui d’aller aux paralympiques !
J’ai apprécié qu’on aborde le thème du handicap, mais d’une manière bien différente cette fois, dans ce manga. Rin perd tout espoir, mais elle retrouve un nouvel objectif, une nouvelle envie, avec la course !
L’histoire est touchante et les personnages le sont tout autant. Rin est bien sûr la principale, mais un autre personnage très important et que j’ai particulièrement apprécié est Kazami. C’est grâce à lui en partie que Rin retrouvera espoir, mais il est attachant pour d’autres raisons, mais ça, je vous laisse le lire pour le découvrir ! 😉
En bref, c’est vraiment un beau manga, de plus, jusqu’en septembre, pour tout achat de ce manga, 5 % est reversé à Handi sport. C’est donc l’occasion de découvrir une histoire touchante, tout en aidant ! Que demander de plus ? 🙂

Une lecture plutôt décevante. Le sujet était vraiment intéressant et l'effet de sensibilisation sur le handicap est plutôt réussi mais en dehors de cela je ne suis pas parvenue à rentrer dans l'histoire. Un récit très mignon et plein d'espoir, sur la résilience d'une jeune fille qui a perdu sa jambe et découvre la course, sport pour lequel elle va très rapidement (un peu trop vite je trouve) se prendre de passion et qui deviendra une source de motivation pour aller de l'avant, mais une histoire et une héroïne trop gnangnan sur les bords à mon goût...Peut-être qu'en prenant plus le temps pour poser le récit et avec une héroïne moins juvénile et au caractère plus complexe, j'aurais davantage apprécié la lecture...

On découvre Rin qui s'est fait amputer d'une partie de sa jambe droite suite à un sarcome osseux. La rééducation est difficile et elle va totalement s'épanouir en découvrant les lames : des prothèses adaptées aux sportifs. Elle va alors se donner un nouvel objectif : les paralympiques.
J'ai trouvé ce premier tome excellent pour découvrir le monde du handisport sous le regard d'une héroïne touchante qui va évoluer au contact de cette découverte. D'un pas difficile à faire, elle va vite évoluer vers une course grisante. J'ai beaucoup apprécié ce premier tome qui nous annonce une évolution des plus fulgurantes. Il s'agit d'une série en 3 tomes que j'ai vraiment hâte de continuer !

Je suis rarement déçue par les titres des éditions Akata. Running Girl traite d'un sujet important et le fait de façon claire, bienveillante et positive. Le personnage de Rin est plein de détermination et de courage. De plus, ce manga m'a permis d'apprendre de nouvelles choses, notamment le processus et la réflexion autour de la création de prothèses.
Un manga très intéressant et prenant. Je recommande vivement !

(3.75) C'était plus prenant que prévu. On suit cette jeune fille qui vit son handicap comme un poids mais finit par se sentir pousser des ailes en pratiquant l'athlétisme. Et parallèlement on a cet homme qui veut coûte que coûte fabriquer la prothèse parfaite. On ne cherche pas à nous attrister, bien au contraire puisqu'on voit Rin reprendre goût à la vie et viser les paralympiques ! C'est prometteur.

2.5 ⭐️ i was really excited about this release, but honestly i'm a bit disappointed. the premise of this story is very interesting, and one that isn't seen much in manga.
but the the dialogue is sometimes corny. i feel like there is no development or buildup at all - rin just
succeeds everything right away, which makes the story predictable. i'm not the biggest fan of the art either.

Une histoire très touchante que j’ai beaucoup apprécié lire ! Bien que les événements se déroulent vite, une chose inévitable quand on prend en compte le fait que le voyage de Rin ne se passe seulement qu’en trois volume mais on fini tout de même par s’attacher à son personnage et à sa volonté de fer !

Yeah this was too earnest for me, too by the numbers, and required too much suspension of disbelief. The story is very worthy and it's no more cliched than your average shojo, so I expect it will find its audience. (That's just not me.)

3,5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pour un premier tome je suis vachement contente ! C’est vraiment hyper cool.
Hâte de voir l’évolution de notre petite héroïne!!

Un manga prometteur mais dont le début ne m'emballe pas. Rin est attachante, déterminée et certaines cases sont très bien dessinées, dans l'action ou l'envol. Je ne peux pas me prononcer sur la représentation du handicap de Rin ou des jeux paralympiques, en revanche j'aurais apprécié que l'histoire se concentre moins sur M. Kazami. Le fait qu'il aide l'héroïne pour assouvir ses rêves de vitesse, entre autre, m'a mise mal à l'aise. Rajouter de la compétitivité et jalousie avec Yûko ne m'a pas non plus semblé nécessaire.
Je lirai sans doute la suite.

A promising manga but whose beginning does not thrill me. Rin is endearing, determined and some boxes are very nicely drawn, in action or flight.
I can not pronounce myself on the representation of Rin's disability or the Paralympic Games, however I would have appreciated that the story focuses less on Mr. Kazami. The fact that he helps the heroine to fulfill his dreams of speed, among other things, seemed rather unhealthy to me. Adding competitiveness and jealousy with Yûko didn't seem necessary to me either.
