Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (Run with the Wind)

Miyagi High School Track and Field Meet

The boys 5,000 meter finals will begin shortly.

Sendai Josei High School

How's your stomach?

Hanging in there.

Sorry, but I won't hold back.

Certain Victory

You can do it, Kurahara!

Go!

Apparently, he wasn't in perfect condition.

What? And he still finished in 13:54?

Isn't he still a second-year?

Disgraceful!

Average times like these are as good as losses!

Learn from Kurahara!

Yes, sir.

We're going back to the school and running ten kilometers!

The next race has already begun!

That's all!

Yes, sir.

You don't need to run, Kurahara.

Good job.

Huh?

But...

Hurry it up, boys!

Run with the Wind

It's been a while, Kurahara.

I was surprised.

I ran this course yesterday, too.

I didn't think you were still running.

Sakaki...

Who were those guys you were with?

It's none of your business.

Really? Well, I guess it doesn't matter.

Lucky you.

You made some friends.

Shadows That Don't Fade

When you analyze this statistical data...

Pachinko Comeback

Nanapan

What are you doing?

Is that all you can do?

Is it?

Kurahara.

What's wrong? You're spacing out.

It's nothing.

He's an underclassman at my dorm.

Udon/Soba

Ramen

Curry Menu Plated Dishes Rice Bowl Menu Griddle Menu

You're wrong!

That's a shallow interpretation!

But the protagonist said so himself.

He can't take it anymore.

You're missing the panel that comes after that!

The author hasn't given up!

You should go home right now and see for yourself!

Passionate, right?

We're always like this when it comes to comics.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say

everything important we've learned about life has come from comics.

Friendship, hard work, and everything else.

It's an enriching experience.

Why don't you join us?

The Comics Club welcomes you.

Why don't you begin your new college life with us?

But I don't read comics...

Sir, we'll clear a table for you.

No king rules forever.

What you really need is intellect and sensibility.

Huh? Isn't that Prince and the newbie?

What?

Did he join the Comics Club?

Whatever.

So, is Shindo serious about continuing practice?

At the very least, his expression seemed earnest.

On top of that, on the way back from jogging,

I saw Haiji and Shindo whispering to each other about club dues.

When I looked up "club dues" in the dictionary...

It's money.

Yes! They're talking about money.

What am I going to do if they request money from me?

So you know the word for "request"...

The training is hard enough.

I can't give them money...

Damn.

As long as it was just Haiji who was excited about it, we could easily ignore it.

The twins are already on board.

If he convinces two more people, the yeses will have the majority.

See you at Aotake.

By the way, did anyone buy the newest volume?

Who were they?

Those guys you were with.

It's none of your business.

Really? Well, I guess it doesn't matter.

Lucky you.

You made some friends.

Everyone's Forest

You can do it, Kurahara!

It's the home stretch!

Go!

I didn't think you were still running.

Shut up.

Wait! Thief!

Who were those guys you were with?

Why?

Why couldn't I say anything?

Why?

What are you afraid of?

You're fast.

I'm not scared!

Who cares? Run with us.

I can't!

Hey!

You like running?

Do you like running?

Don't...

Don't ask me that!

Cold!

Sorry.

Really, I'm fine.

If anything, I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Don't.

You're an important athlete.

Haiji said God might exist, after all.

After meeting you, he said, "We're no ordinary men."

"We're destined for something great."

He wouldn't stop talking about running together.

There.

The only thing I understand is that you're really, really fast.

That's all.

I can't do anything but run.

Hey!

I know. Wanna race?

Huh?

Let's race to Aotake with Nira.

Okay.

Ready...

Why?

Why won't you leave me alone?

If you want to run, you can run by yourself.

Isn't that what it means to run?

I'm sorry, but you should give up on me.

I—

Kurahara.

Even though you run by yourself, you're not actually alone.

You're always running with someone else.

I don't understand.

I see.

Okay, Nira.

Ready... go!

You're fast, Nira.

Someone?

You bought shoes?

Yeah. Specialized shoes are better, apparently.

Your attendance has been perfect.

So, what?

Nothing.

Everyone's here.

Hana's waiting for us at the finish line today.

What?

Feeble

Hana will be timing us today.

Do whatever it takes to finish.
