Synopsis
Yamato transfers to Aoba High and is quickly smitten with Suzuka, the school’s rising star of track and field. Unfortunately, she’s totally uninspired by Yamato’s irresponsible nature. When the young man decides to step it up and join the track team, even his best efforts might not measure up to Suzuka’s standards. Will he go the distance for love or will Suzuka have him running in circles? (Source: Crunchyroll)
