Kazemachi's Second Wind (風の二風)
In the heart of Japan, Kazemachi Sota was a high school football legend, the fastest and most skilled quarterback the Nishikawa Hawks had ever seen. But a devastating injury shattered his dreams, leaving him to navigate a new life of uncertainty. Labeled "the bird with clipped wings," Kazemachi struggles to find his place in a world without the sport that defines him. Just as hope seems lost, an unexpected invitation from a spirited girl named Aiko reignites his passion. She invites him to join the school’s flag football team, a game of strategy and speed, offering him a chance to redefine himself. Will Kazemachi find a new way to soar, or will the shadows of his past keep him grounded forever? This is a journey of self-discovery and triumph against all odds.
Still In The Lead
As soon as Ouji got the ball on his hands, there was no time to stop. He continued running as if his life depended on it. Sota had just pulled a near impossible pass, and it was now up to him to see it through.
There was no time to think things through, he had to barrel forward. After all, there was only two minutes on the clock and if he were to stop, he knew that their path to victory would be swallowed by the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His feet beat rhythmically, the impact reverberating up his legs as he sliced through Shinkai's defense with a natural grace that belied the urgency of the moment. Kaminari was beside him, fending off defenders left and right, creating just enough space for Ouji to work his magic.
But then, John came charging in. The Shinkai defender's footsteps were heavy and unrelenting, his eyes locked onto the flags dangling from Ouji's waist. He was going for the kill, and fast.
