The Wind Rises: Running Against the Wind

"The mountains of Hakone are the steepest under heaven!"

After the Hakone Ekiden, Higashino Hikaru transmigrates to Kansei University and becomes a freshman in the College of Letters.

He joins the track and field club and moves into Chikusei-so.

By then, Haiji, Yuki, and King have all graduated.

This time, Higashino Hikaru will race in the Hakone Ekiden again, alongside Kakeru, Prince, Musa, Shindo, and the others.

Because Higashino Hikaru knows

that the track stretching out before him is the path of his life,

a path that will bring him responsibility, friendship, and honor,

and show him the way home.

Even when the gale blows, never give up on life!
