Synopsis
Mikoto Shinozaki is a high school student who lacks social awareness. With his sloppy appearance and poor self-esteem, he easily becomes a target for bullies. However, according to Yuki Fukuzawa—the most popular girl in class—any misfortune Mikoto experiences is partly his own fault. Acting on this belief, Yuki suggests Mikoto join the school's bicycle club, hoping he can better himself and make new friends. Driven by his feelings for Yuki, Mikoto has no reason to turn her down—except that he does not know how to ride a bicycle. Despite lacking even the basics, Mikoto cannot let go of the image of himself on a bike. Eventually, curiosity gets the better of him, and he sneaks onto school grounds at night to practice. This marks the beginning of Mikoto's journey as he pedals his way into the vast world of cycling, where the scenery of his life changes in ways he never imagined.
