Kikuzato has access to the new running blade attachment for his prosthesis, but he's not very good at using it. In an effort to improve, he agrees to go to track and field club with Usami for some pointers. But will the rest of the club accept him? And when his Mom gets wind of this stranger providing a blade for Kikuzato, will she forbid him from using it?

I like how unique this manga is, focusing not just on high school life, but what high school life would be like for a kid who came to that high school for sports and then suffered a horrible accident. Kikuzato is not just learning to run again, he is figuring out his identity apart from being a soccer star. He pushed some people away after the accident and was a bit lonely, but now he's slowly letting others in again. I look forward to seeing how things develop fro Kikuzato and his friends.

Notes on content:
Language: I don't remember any, but there might have been a couple minor swears.
Sexual content: None
Violence: None
Ethnic diversity: All Japanese characters
LGBTQ+ content: None specified
Other: Kikuzato understandably has some grief over losing his leg and the future he thought was his.
