Keikankun Yamaguchi is handling the art direction. Yasuyuki Muto has worked on the script, and Hiroaki Tsutsumi has composed the music.

The plot revolves around Togashi, a very quick sprinter. When he was young, he would always win the 100-meter races without even trying hard. In grade six, there is a new student, Komiya. Komiya doesn't know much about running, but is always trying hard. Togashi decides to teach him how to run better. Then, Komiya began to feel that he, too, could win. Many years later, they have both grown and meet again at the track—this time as tough competitors. Both of them desire to win.
