The protagonist, Aoki Yuichi, has a Grade 2 visual impairment and is an athlete competing in the T12 marathon at the Paralympics.
Kiyose Haiji is Yuichi’s guide runner, and they’ll stand together on the highest podium!
A first-year student at Kansei University, severely nearsighted, and hopeless at sports, Aoki Yuichi meets a strange person in Kyoto. He’s gentle yet strong-willed, apologizes even when something isn’t his fault, and treats Yuichi like an able-bodied person.
Kiyose Haiji doesn’t know when it started, but he keeps running into a reckless underclassman who seems to have poor eyesight, yet is optimistic. He’s the kind of person who’d encourage Haiji without hesitation when he hears that Haiji plans to put together an amateur team for the Hakone Ekiden.
No, Aoki Yuichi just doesn’t know what level of competition the Hakone Ekiden is~
But how did Yuichi end up competing professionally, just from running alongside him?
It’s okay if you can’t see. Haiji will be your eyes.
If you can’t stand on the podium, Haiji, then let me share half my glory with you.
Years later, when the Paralympic marathon gold medalist is asked what helped him win the gold, he answers:
Aoki Yuichi: Because I want to become the best runner in his eyes.
Also features: volleyball, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, and Detective Conan, but only in tiny amounts, practically just cameos.
Theme: I ran a marathon and gave myself to my boyfriend
I've wanted to read Haiji's articles for a long time! I'm so happy!

Put your wholehearted trust in the darkness to the leader, this kind of trust is really beautiful
