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.

Sota glanced around at his teammates, their faces tight with determination. The earlier touchdown by Malik had lit a fire under them, but now it was time to respond. They couldn't afford to let Takiyama High keep dictating the pace of the game.
"We need to move the ball," Sota said, his voice steady but firm. "Keep your heads in the game. One step at a time."
Ryuji, ever the speedster, nodded, his hands on his hips. "I'll go deep. If you need a quick out, I'll be there."
Daichi cracked his knuckles, his usual nonchalance replaced by grim focus. "Let's make them sweat for it."
