Plot The story focuses on Togashi, a sprinter regarded as one of the fastest grade schoolers in Japan. A transfer student named Komiya is later introduced to his class. Togashi catches Komiya the next day and asks him why he runs. Komiya explains that he feels he has nothing and doesn't get along with people, so he runs because it allows him to escape from reality. Togashi says that being the fastest runner can solve Komiya's problems, as it does for him, and that it is up to Komiya to make that happen. Togashi starts training Komiya after school, and Komiya begins to improve, but Togashi is concerned about how obsessed Komiya becomes. On Sports Day, Togashi wins his race, while in Komiya's race, he has a strong start but falls soon after. With Togashi cheering him on, Komiya gets up and makes a frantic dash to the finish line, winning his first-ever race. Togashi is invited to an interview alongside Nigami, a star junior high runner. They race, and Nigami is surprised by how good Togashi is, despite the age difference. Later, Komiya asks Togashi for a race, and Togashi agrees. Togashi takes an early lead, but Komiya has a final burst that gives him the win. Komiya says goodbye and limps away, having injured himself during the race. The next day, they are told that Komiya had to move because of his family, much to Togashi's surprise. Togashi is now in high school and won the junior high championships for the 100 metres all three years, but his performance has declined recently because of pressure. He meets Asakusa, who tries to recruit him for the track and field club to save it from being shut down. At first, he refuses, but after talking with her more, he changes his mind. He feels inspired again by helping the club, but they need one more runner for a relay that they must win to keep the club alive. They end up recruiting Nigami, who has quit sprinting after a back injury and mounting pressure to perform but is reinvigorated after racing Togashi again. They race Nigami's former rivals and end up getting second place, but the club gets to continue anyway. Komiya ends up going to Nishizawa High, a school known for track and field and the former school of the national champion Zaitsu. Komiya meets Zaitsu, who gives him advice, and Komiya tells Zaitsu he wants to beat his national record. Komiya ends up beating Tsuneda, his team captain, to advance to the national high school championship. Nigami ends up qualifying for the championship as well but is defeated by Komiya in his heat. Heavy rain falls during the final, and even though Togashi is the favorite, Komiya ends up winning, leaving Togashi shocked in the rain. Ten years later, Togashi runs an agency but has struggled to produce results. He talks with his senior, Kaido, who asks what he is racing for. Feeling inspired after reflecting on Kaido's words, Togashi realizes that he wants to race Komiya again. After a series of wins, he finally qualifies for the national championship. However, his momentum is brought to a halt after he suffers a muscle strain during practice. His doctor recommends that he stop running and rest until next season, but his agency warns him that his contract will be terminated if he does not run in the championship next week. Seeing this as his final chance, he decides to compete. At the championship, Togashi wins his semifinal heat, with Kabaki finishing second. In a surprise finish, Kaido ends up winning his heat, with Komiya in second. Zaitsu is eliminated, and he announces his retirement afterward. The final race arrives, with everyone preparing in their own way. They line up, and the race starts, with Kabaki, Kaido, Komiya, and Togashi coming out ahead. Togashi and Komiya take the lead and reminisce about when they raced as kids. The final shot shows them both smiling as they cross the line, with the winner left unclear.
