Marie Derambure brings her singularly dynamic style to Paco Moccand’s heartfelt and playful story about a group of girls playing basketball. Together, Marie and Paco create a nostalgic and atmospheric comic that feels like a masterpiece of sequential art and a middle school sketchbook all at the same time. A nod to classic sports manga, BASKET is a shoujo “Slam Dunk.”
The 7 girls who make up Cabestany Junior Girls Basketball Club score, stumble, and balance on the precipice of growing up on and off the court. New relationships, upcoming exams, and the district competition looms over Ines, the team’s lone wolf and basketball star, and Fanny, the hobbyist with a curious new interest in Ines. With a sinister plot brewing behind the scenes of the big game, and a mysterious figure lurking around the court, will Ines and Fanny’s new friendship save the team?
BASKET is 200 pages of stunning graphite comics and illustrations by Marie Derambure and written by Paco Moccand, offset printed in a deep plum spot ink on pulpy manga paper.
The book will also have a matte finished jacket with flaps, spot printed in Fluorescent Pink, Blue, and Yellow. It’ll fit in your hands like a well loved manga omnibus at 148mm x 210mm.
