Run on Your New Legs Volumes 2 + 3 by Wataru Midori

Manga in the Middle LOVES Run on Your New Legs (see review of Volume 1 here). Volumes 2 and 3 only improve on the first volume. This story of a former middle school soccer star who starts high school after a serious accident is a MUST BUY for middle school collections!

In Volume 2, we get more page time with Kikuzato's mother, who is understandably protective of her son after his accident and amputation. How this conflict is resolved is very well done--and feels earned/authentic. We also see Kikuzato joining the track and field club at his school. In Volume 3, we explore his new club friendships and check in with his old middle school soccer teammate, who is NOT thriving (athletically or socially) without Kikuzato.
Two more quick points I love about this series!
~~It addresses the COVID pandemic! Volume 3 finishes in Spring 2020 with the cancellation of regional sports tournaments.
~~Like all well done sports manga, it makes me care about the minutiae of a sport I've never cared about before--in this case, sprinting!
