"The Strong Wind Blows the Buddha" is a manga recommended to me by a friend a long time ago.
After knowing the theme of "running", it didn't immediately arouse my interest, because I'm not good at running, so... Because I'm not good at running, I even hate running a little bit, and I feel that running should not be with me. relation.
But because Netflix was going to be taken down before, I want to say that I should watch the anime first and then decide whether to watch the manga or not. I didn’t expect the rhythm of the first episode to fascinate me! And the painting is great, and the plot is even better!
Later, when I checked this work, I found out that the original work is a novel, and the author is still Miura Shion, who has written famous novels such as "Nah, Nah, God Goes to the Village", "Tada Convenience House"... of fright. Because when I was reading, a senior recommended "Nah, Nah, God Goes to the Village". He said it was his favorite novel, so I also read it, but I couldn't understand the magic of this novel at that time. I felt that at that time, I really didn’t know anything because I hadn’t encountered enough things yet.
But this time, because of the encounter with "The Strong Wind Blows the Buddha", I decided to make up for the fate between me and Miura Shion-sensei. I continued to look for books, and found that each of her books was recommended by various awards, large and small, plus the confidence she gave me through "The Strong Wind Blows the Buddha", I think, I will also like other works by Miura Shion-sensei, I will also re-watch "Where, Where, God Goes to the Village" again.
<Chapter 1> -10-eyed male-
The story begins with a man (Ago) who runs very fast and steals something. The merchants chased after him but couldn't catch up.
Suddenly, a man riding a bicycle (Hai Er) next to him chased after him, but he was not trying to help the store owner recover the things, not scolding him for "why he stole things", or trying to punish him, but very happy to ask him "How did you do it?" , do you like running?"
In the next scene, they came to a male dormitory - Zhuqingzhuang.
Hui Er brought Ah Zao to know everyone in the dormitory. They also held a welcome party that night, and Ah Zao was welcome to join. Just when everyone was drinking, Haiji told everyone that because of the arrival of Ako, they gathered ten people and could go to challenge the Hakone Ekiden event held in the new year.
The Hakone Ekiden event, officially known as the Tokyo Hakone Reciprocating University Ekiden Race Walk (Tokyo Hakone Reciprocating University Station Walk), was founded in 1920 by the father of the Japanese marathon, Kanuri Shisan and others, and is currently hosted by the Kanto Student Athletics Federation. Co-organized by Yomiuri Shimbun. It is a relay race held in Japan from January 2 to 3 every year. The race is divided into two days according to the outgoing and returning journeys. Ten people relay to complete the marathon with a total length of 217.9 kilometers.
Yes, everyone just thought it was an event they saw on TV, and it had nothing to do with their own life , and they all said that it was impossible and unwilling to participate.

However, Haiji told everyone at this time: This dormitory is a dormitory where members of the track and field club of Kansei University can live. The original application for admission was the application for admission to the department! This makes students who are used to living in the dormitory and students who can't rent an outside house feel a little worried, but they should think that the "club" is not mandatory, and there should be no reason for Haiji to really kick them out of the dormitory. Yes, after all, the so-called "Athletics Department" was not in operation until Ah Ji came.
It seems that there will definitely be some sports fan-troubled corps , starting to emerge!
The nine people in the dormitory all "joined the club" without knowing it. Some people have their own clubs, some people already have other goals, some people are looking for jobs in their senior year, and some people think My figure is not suitable for long-distance running. Some people think that they have nothing to do with running. There is also Ah Go, who knows running and what Hakone Ekiden is all about... This is All nine people rejected Haiji's idea.
Everyone doesn't want to pay attention to Hui Er's idiotic idea, but the smile on Hui Er's face is unusually confident...
What they didn't expect was that Haiji's next move was not to drive them out of the dormitory, but instead, to let each of them participate in the activities of Hakone Ekiden!
