Lost interest somewhere in Volume 3. Might pick it up again at a later date, but knowing me, I probably won't.

It's not a bad story at all; I just lost interest.

It is definitely worth the read. You will be smiling from start to end as it is a true love story. A promise made as kids to date when they meet again but do their feelings still remain the same even after 10 yrs of being separated from each other? Read the manga to find out and don't rely on comments to judge whether or not to read it, just read it and enjoy what the manga has to offer.

This manga is much better than some of the generic and crappy manga out there but its average rating is not even an 8. Its very original with good character development and some new things that other mangas don't have. I guess that's what puts some people off. I would recommend it to any fan of seinen and sports.

Also the Anime Waves description is absolutely bs and should be removed.

A good drama with nice pacing. The first volume has them skipping from grade school to middle school to high school, with a skip to collage in volume 2. I felt that this gave you a good look at some of the major points of the characters and helped flesh them out.
The story centers mostly around a guy who's good at sprinting, and eventually tries to break 10s in the 100m. He also has a romance and a rival. All pretty standard stuff. The story shows him and his friends growing up and dealing with life.
The art's not great, but it's average for a '97 manga.

Rating: 4 of 5
It has good pacing and nice characters. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in reading a seinen drama.

Im half way through the series and wow this one is good! Its 04:40 in the morning here hahaha i startet at midnight. Give this a chance. In the start of the manga you get to know the characters when they are young, but realy fast the story turns to later on when they are 21 years old. The romance is realy nice! There is good comedy mixed in. And the main character has a realy cool style. And you wil love the female main character to.

started reading this out of curiousity. turns out it was good. a really good seinen i must say. sometime, I even forget that it is seinen. reflects a lot of the realities of life. the dreams and ambitions have a firm foundation and not just useless interests. main lead is an awesome guy who isn`t your typical perv, though a player. and the girl, disabled but hot. lol. both the leads are good looking and have unique personalities. the fact that their love survived after no contact for almost 10 years is just amazing.can`t wait to finish it.
also the fact that all his friends` girls are falling for him/ or are in love with him is just too cruel. especially junko (whose affections runs all the way from elementary) and the present girls such as maeda`s cousin. just..i dont know. dramatic or what?
miki was one damn hero. god! i can`t believe someone like him exists but after all, that`s reality for you.

I wasn't expecting to like Tsukasa after reading various reviews about him sleeping around, but after reading the manga it only seemed to make sense to me. I really enjoyed D-ASH (and this is coming from an avid shoujo reader) and I love Miki to bits . I love how Sae is not a pitiable girl and wants to do things with her own power - she is truly a remarkable woman albeit with flaws like any other human being. All in all, great manga, I enjoyed it a lot!

I read this like years ago and I still remember how good it was. Very sweet romance in it that progressed nicely. And what a happy ending!! There are not enough happy yet down-to-earth endings in manga. The art is nice too. I feel like this would translate nicely into a film too lol.

I really dont get why some people don't like it why give it an 8 people, this series deserves a 10!!

Grow up, so he had sex with some other girls and girls came on to him easily.. I can't blame them. I would have done the same. Definitely <333

I swear I love this so much <3 Tsukasa and Sae are adorable.. And I also loved the ending.

Read it... and love it

this was very satisfying the it had comedey but not to much (not that i dont love it the more comedy the beter) also romance also not to much like to many rivals end not to much drama.
well of balanced shounen almost like change 123 exept the action.
