Meet Yoichi Kouda, the high school track athlete who specializes in running the 200m distance. Although he lacks the speed for short distances and the stamina for long ones, he boasts of a determination to train harder and longer than anyone else. Despite the team's celebrated history, it has recently declined, and Yoichi is surrounded by teammates who are more talented but lack the same drive as he does. He struggled to find motivation to improve until the arrival of the celebrated "cool beauty," Momo Tange, stole not only the school's attention but also Yoichi's heart.
