The Transformation

This manga was produced thanks to the support of France’s Paralympic Sports
Committee and in collaboration with the athlete Ryadh Sallem (wheelchair
rugby).
“The French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF) leads France’s Paralympic
team to the Games. Paralympic manga are a unique opportunity to discover and
learn more about sports that are still mostly unknown. And, through an
original medium, linking the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with those of Paris
2024, along with all Paralympic athletes.”
Marie-Amélie Le Fur (President of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee)
Confined to a wheelchair following a life-changing accident, a former boxer
turns to wheelchair rugby in order to rediscover his taste for competitions
and victories. Claiming to be concerned only with the future, an exceptional
situation will lead him to reconsider the road traveled.
