" 100 Meters" is Uoto's debut serialized work, which was serialized on Kodansha's web manga app Magazine Pocket (Magapoke) from 2018 to 2019. It depicts the madness and passion of those in the world of track and field who are captivated by the brilliance of the 100m, a flash of light that lasts less than 10 seconds.
Togashi, a naturally fast runner who has made friends and found a place to belong, meets Komiya, a transfer student who simply runs as hard as he can to forget his tough reality. Gradually, the two develop a relationship that could be described as both rivals and best friends through the 100-meter dash. A few years later, Togashi, who has made a name for himself as a genius runner but is terrified by the need to keep winning, is confronted by Komiya, who has become one of the top runners... This is the story.
The anime will be directed by Kenji Iwaizawa, who was nominated for an Annie Award for his work on "Music," and will be produced by Rock 'n' Roll Mountain, the studio behind "Music."
