Ani x Para World explores the exciting world of para-sports through short films by Japan's top animators. Our sixth episode turns the spotlight on visually impaired judo. Popular manga creator Kawai Katsutoshi conducted extensive research while writing the story, meeting with athletes and even trying the sport for himself.
