I definitely underestimated this manga when I first started, it's a story about racing bicycles so I didn't think it'd be all that exciting (wrong!) The racing scenes are fast paced, all of the characters get backstories that help explain their motivation and who they are, and the story swings back and forth from light-hearted and goofy to serious and dramatic. It's fun learning about road bikes and everything about cycling along with Onoda in the beginning and watching him grow throughout the series along with all the other riders. The funniest thing about this manga is that all of the riders have their ownunique and extreme riding style, the best one is definitely the buff Izumida who named his pecks "Andy" and "Frank". I'm looking forward to reading more, unfortunately YenPress licensed it so the person scanlating it stopped and now it'll take YenPress forever to catch up (so fuck them), until then I'll just have to stick with the anime.
