Michaël Sanlaville

In this game, anything goes! Helena Silver has come a long way from the countryside to stadiums packed with screaming fans. Gifted in the ultra-brutal sport of Sioule, she joined the equally talented Soni Daktari's team, and the competition for respect within the league has taken on a whole new dimension. The competitions are punishing but the victories are intoxicating, and the sponsors begin to take an interest in Helena. Shunning the publicity and remaining true to herself, she risks making enemies who won't hesitate to use their power to undermine her success. She’ll need all her strength to stand up to her opponents who are waiting to see her fall . . . Michaël Sanlaville (Lastman) declares his love for shônen manga through this explosive sports series that follows the journey of a radiant heroine. A third volume full of action and adrenaline that concludes Helena's arc by addressing the issue of sexism in sports, celebrity, and friendship.

The start of the school year is going to be sporty! Naturally gifted, Héléna left the family farm and her childhood friends to join the prestigious Superior School of Sioule, the most violent of sports: a brutal cocktail of rugby and dodgeball that keeps millions of viewers loyal to each match! And the first training sessions are not going to be easy. Even if Héléna has impressive strength, the level is high and the pace will be exhausting! In addition, one of her classmates, Soni, will prove to be a formidable opponent, both tactically and physically. While Héléna gains notoriety, she distances herself from Marco, spending less and less time with her old gang. Passion sometimes demands sacrifices. Will she find her balance to move on to her second year? The path to becoming a professional Sioule player seems long and perilous.

First rule of the Sioule: there are no rules. Of all the international disciplines, the Sioule is the most violent and most dangerous—but also the most media-friendly. This brutal cocktail of rugby and dodgeball attracts millions of viewers to each match, and social networks go wild for the players who become international celebrities. From the far reaches of her countryside, Hélèna is far from interested in any of this madness. When she is not helping her father on the family farm, she goes camping by the sea with her friends. Life is peaceful. But her father dreams of another destiny for her, a better life than cleaning up dung! One day, when a stray leather ball catches her eye and triggers something new in her . . . what if her future was at the Superior School of Sioule? Nothing is certain. To make a place for yourself in this ultra-testosterone-fueled environment, you'll have to use your elbows and your knuckles!
