Last June, during the Annecy International Film Festival, a sneak peek of the movie that was shown in the Work in Progress section was presented. The festival provided a description of the plot.
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.
In November 2018, Kodansha released Uoto 's first manga series, titled "Hyakuemu," through their Magazine Pocket app. This was followed by the publication of the third compiled book volume in August 2019.
