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.
A Touchdown of Three Points?!
Breath misted in the cool air as Seiryuu High huddled together, the tension crackling between them. They were outnumbered, outmatched, and exhausted. Yet, even with the scoreboard against them, a flicker of defiance remained in their eyes. No words were necessary—each player knew what they had to do. The odds were slim, but that only made them fight harder.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sota caught a sudden movement—Ouji grabbing Ryuji by the collar. The albino runner leaned in close, whispering something that only Ryuji could hear. For a brief moment, Ryuji's eyes widened, then a slow grin spread across his face. He nodded, the silent understanding passing between them as they turned back to the field.
