The story follows Togashi, portrayed by Tori Matsuzaka, a natural runner who easily wins races since childhood. His life changes when he meets Komiya, played by Shōta Sometani, a hardworking boy determined to excel at running despite lacking experience. As the narrative unfolds, Togashi mentors Komiya, instilling in him the drive to win, eventually leading to a competitive rivalry as they grow up.

The film boasts a talented voice cast, including:

• Kōki Uchiyama as Saizu
• Kenjirō Tsuda as Kaidō

Kenji Iwaisawa (known for ON-GAKU: Our Sound) directs, while Yasuyuki Mutō (Tokyo Revengers) pens the script. The character designs are from Keisuke Kojima, and the music is composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi, featuring the theme song "Rashisa" by Official HiGE DANdism.

Originally launched in November 2018, the Hyakuemu manga is Uoto's first work, with three volumes published as of August 2019. For a thrilling preview, watch the first six minutes now.
