Run with the Wind

Kakeru Kurahara, a former star runner from Sendai Josei High, finds himself in a bit of trouble when he's kicked out of a convenience store for shoplifting. After a close escape, he bumps into Haiji Kiyose, a fellow university student who’s taken with Kakeru's speed and offers him a spot at Chikusei-sou, a rundown apartment shared with a quirky crew of eight other students. Kakeru reluctantly agrees, only to discover that Haiji has a wild dream: to compete in the Hakone Ekiden, a huge university marathon relay. But with everyone else clueless about running, can Haiji rally the troops in time?
