However, fortune seems to be against him as he struggles to discover kindred spirits willing to embrace this endeavor. Determined not to be deterred, Onoda embarks on a daring expedition to Akihabara, his trusty old bicycle serving as a steadfast companion on his arduous 90-kilometer trek, a weekly pilgrimage he has dutifully undertaken since his early childhood years. But fate has a peculiar way of intervening in even the most steadfast plans. Enter Shunsuke Imaizumi, a resolute freshman with a passion for cycling, finely honing his skills on the treacherous slopes of the school's incline.
