Synopsis

Women's competitive cycling had been defunct for decades until the newly formed Rinkai League revived the sport, making headlines with its first few races. It has inspired many women across Japan, who flock to the league in hopes of realizing their dreams of becoming professional athletes.

Cycling enthusiast Izumi Itou is reluctant to stake her future on a racing competition, despite her friends' encouragement. That changes when she discovers that her grandmother is a former champion in women's cycling. She offers to train Izumi, hoping to help her recognize her own talent. Although Izumi lacks experience, the appearance of a fierce Swiss contestant who aims to dominate the competition motivates her to give it all on the track and, ultimately, win.

I honestly just found the execution of the entire thing just very weirdly put together that just made the story and character development awkward in a way. I've seen quite a lot of animes in this genre that tries to introduce many characters, but somehow Rinkai tries to make every character a "favoritable main character", that you start to think this is too ...
