Description: |
When 10-year-old Kaneda Shota was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his father, it changed the course of his life forever. Even though his mother got a job and tried her best to support her son, money was always tight. Now, unable to afford college, Shota works a part-time job, in addition to his full-time job at his uncle's factory. He dreams of one day saving enough money to go to college. He lives alone, on the second floor of one of his uncle's warehouses, and doesn't have any friends. Everywhere he goes, he rides a bicycle, with headphones to block out the flashback-inducing sounds of the cars.
His quiet way of life is about to be interrupted. Due to pressures from the economy, Shota's job at his uncle's factory is going to be cut to half-time/half-pay for a while. In addition, Shota's uncle has agreed to lend the first floor of Shota's warehouse to a college club. This club is building a solar car to enter in a race, and they're hoping to get Shota to lend them his mechanical expertise. Will Yazaki Junko and the other club members be able to handle Shota's anger and bitterness, and draw him out of his self-imposed isolation? |

I still have a problem that he worked as a traffic guard when he hates cars
Anyone recommend some of these "grimdark" seinens to me? I've been looking and havn't been able to find any...(not looking well enough apparently).
So speaks the devil.
And let's not forget the character development.

Oh look, if it isn't "guy who can tell the weather very well". I sure am glad he was added as a character in this manga.
I'll stick to grimdark seinen from now on, too bad a lot of those are are banned on batoto.
Eyeshield 21!
The story between the protagonists was nice, but i wanted something more.
I always like some romance.
The ending was to be expected, but it's a little unrealistic. I liked it though...
Loved this series, its a fantastic, if short, read.
