Run on Your New Legs, Vol. 1 by Wataru Midori
fast-paced
4.0
This Manga was brought to my attention by someone in a discord group that I am a part of. Being a double amputee myself I'm always looking for books with this rep, so I immediately put a hold on it at my library and I'm so glad I did because I really enjoyed it. I can't speak on the running with prosthesis rep because I'm not familiar with that, but I can speak on other things that have to do with prosthesis. There were several times while reading this where I was like yes that so accurate like for instance when it talks about trying to get around in crowds while wearing prothesis. It's not easy which is why when I was in school, I was always allowed to leave class 5 minutes early so I could get to my locker and my other class before the bell rings, and everybody was swarming the hole. It was even harder for me because I also had to use crutches so those could easily be kicked out from under me. Anyways that's just one example of where I felt seen for the first time while reading a book. The only thing that I felt weird about was how the prosthetist and the main character meet and start working together. That felt a little sketchy to me but maybe things are done differently in Japan. I've already put a hold on the 2nd vol. and I'm really looking forward to continuing on in the series.
