The Ipsen Foundation is proud to offer you this one-of-a-kind manga, the result of an inspiring collaboration between 22 mangakas and 22 extraordinary athletes. In celebration of the 2024 Summer Games, we undertook an ambitious project to highlight the 22 sports disciplines that will showcase the greatness of this competition.

Page by page, each discipline comes to life through the artistic skills and passion of the mangakas, who infuse their creativity and dedication into every pencil stroke. Likewise, the athletes, with their determination and experience, have inspired each scene, movement and expression captured in these drawings.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the artists and athletes whose collaboration made this project possible.

Their contribution brought to life a manga celebrating diversity, resilience and the beauty of sports, thus reminding us that sporting excellence knows no borders.
