Synopsis
Togashi is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.
Source Manga
Uoto (also known for Orb: On the Movements of the Earth) launched the Hyakuemu manga on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app in November 2018 — the creator’s debut series. Kodansha published the fifth compiled volume in October 2019.
