Run with the Wind	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Having lost a lot of money during a mahjong game, a young runner by the name Kakeru Kurahara ends up surviving either by hook or by crook. While shoplifting at night, his running piques the interest of Haiji Kiyose who happens to be passing by. Haiji then invites Kakeru to the Kansei University Dorm. Little does Kakeru (or any of the other residents of the dorm) realize that the place is actually the Kansei University Track and Field dorm; Haiji himself seeks to gather a 10 man team of runners, and Kakeru is just what he's been looking for. His dream? To run in Hakone Ekiden, a prominent relay marathon race. Too bad majority of the team aren't actually all that athletic, so a lot needs to be done for them to stand a chance...Run with the Wind (風が強く吹いている Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteirunote "The Wind Blows Strong") is a Japanese novel written by Shion Miura (the same person behind the novel and anime Fune Wo Amu) and published in 2006. (Not categorized as a Light Novel, as this book is over 600 pages long and uses more complicated text, far larger than light novel standards.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A manga adaptation was serialized from 2007 to 2009 (starting out in Weekly Young Jump, then moving to Monthly Young Jump in 2008), and a stage play and movie adaptation were both made in 2009 (the latter with the English title Feel the Wind). An anime adaptation by Production I.G premiered on October 3rd 2018 with 23 episodes, and can be viewed on Crunchyroll.Not to be confused with the Run Wild novel with the same name, nor the other novel and movie Gone with the Wind.

Run with the Wind / int_118a41d5	comment	Daydream Surprise: In a flashback shown in Episode 22, King asks if Haiji intends to stay at school since he hasn't been looking for work. King then seemingly declares he'll stay if Haiji does as well so the two can run at Hakone together next year, which touches Haiji. This exchange is revealed to be King's imagination; in the next scene in real life Haiji replies to King that he doesn't plan to stay at school, much to King's disappointment.

For example, when Musa is fresh out of the bath and offers a handshake to Kakeru, the camera pans down to his extended hand which conveniently covers his crotch area in the shot, and in the next scene a tap covers it up.

Run with the Wind / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Run with the Wind / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Transitioning from a 600+ page novel to a 23-episode anime has naturally led to some added characterisation or subplots, especially in the first half. Only Kakeru is resistant to being a part of the Kansei track team in the novel. In the anime, the others are also initially reluctant, and it take a bit of convincing on Haiji's part to get them on board. As the novel focuses a lot more on Kakeru and Haiji, many of the characters' personal ordeals or side stories are anime original. This includes King looking for jobs, Nico-chan's weight struggles and Kakeru's dynamic with Prince (including both when he asks Prince to leave the team and when he helps Prince with his training). It takes considerably more time for the team to achieve official records in the anime, so their struggles are emphasised further. (For comparison, in the novel Prince is the last to get his official record in June; in the anime, he gets his in September, mere weeks before the qualifier)

In the epilogue, the Kansei track team —led by Kakeru and the twins— is still going and boasts a lot more members now, and the older members have also progressed with their own lives.

Episode 18, just as Hakone is starting, ends with Shindo collapsing at the dorm while visibly unwell with Yuki trying to escort him. In Episode 23, emphasis is put on two particular results: Kakeru's time for his Hakone section, which has broken not only the record but also beat The Ace Fujioka's time; and Kansei's overall result in Hakone, which got them a seeded position at 10th place.

Run with the Wind / int_564caaae	comment	Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: Downplayed and justified after the Hakone qualifier. After a long peaceful time of everyone genuinely investing in their training, the twins suddenly become cynical about their chances in Hakone after seeing how their qualifier results pale in comparison to the top teams, and wonder what point there is in running the real thing if they're unlikely to win. Although this concern isn't too unreasonable (which Haiji acknowledges), this sudden change in attitude troubles the other members, especially considering how happy-go-lucky the twins usually are. They don't quit the team, but they stop cooperating and then try to skip out on the trip to the Hakone course (Kakeru manages to chase them and drag them along). By the end of the episode, after a talk with Haiji, the twins have softened up but admit they still feel uneasy. Although they don't get to formally apologise, they do settle back in by the next episode.

The second time is when the team is looking for Musa and Shindo at night time, and what they think are bears come rushing at them—cue the terrified poses and yelling from every member minus Haiji, as the "bears" (actually Musa and Shindo) zoom past them and crash into the van.

That's right, a full fortnight passed between Kakeru's arrival and the party without the two of them even being aware of each other's existence.

Just as they're about to go search for the missing duo, they're interrupted by strange noises coming from the forest. They're about to brace themselves for whatever might come out of the bushes (with Haiji even diffidently pulling out a bell)... only for Shindo and Musa bursting out of the bushes at such great speed that they end up slamming into the van.

At the end of the episode he collapses while making dinner, and it comes to light that he's been overworking as of late. Two things foreshadow the ending of Episode 18: In Episode 17, Sakaki gloats at the Kansei team for having so few members (10 is the absolute minimum number of members needed to run Hakone) and mockingly ponders what will happen if any of them were to catch a cold. This is exactly what happens to Shindo, right as Hakone starts (and he's scheduled to run that day). Shindo mentions all the administration work he's been doing in Episodes 17 and 18, much to the concern of the other members who feel inclined to help him. Overworking does come to bite him in the ass and makes him fall ill.

Joji is only able to get back on track when Kakeru (via the coach) tells him to run for her sake.

In Episode 16, the completely new Kansei track team, where only two of the members are experienced runners, was the last team everyone thought would qualify for Hakone. At the end of the series, this is averted at Hakone itself, even though it's the norm in sports series for the protagonists to win or be runner-ups. Despite Kakeru and Haiji's talents and the rest of the team making remarkable progress, their lack of experience and overall skills compared to the other teams (as well as other unforeseen factors) come into play and they barely make it to the Top 10 to earn their seeded position. Getting this seeded position however is a great result for the team and still considered an underdog result by everyone, who is shocked by a new team coming out of nowhere, let alone making a comeback from 20th place.

The team of course has nothing but admiration and concern for Shindo, who insisted on competing since withdrawing would mean Kansei dropping out of Hakone together.

Episode 15 ends with one of the runners bumping into one of the tables and knocking it over during the qualifier race, creating a potential hazard for Haiji who isn't far behind him. Lucky for him he manages to jump out of the way the following episode, but this puts stress on his injured leg as a result. Episode 17 ends with Haiji waiting at the hospital, with the Orthopedic Surgery sign clearly showing. The following episode doesn't give any specific updates on this situation, although a brief shot of the x-ray and Haiji's thoughtful stare implies things don't look very good for his leg. Episode 18 ends with Yuki trying to escort a very sick Shindo out of his room on the morning of Hakone.

Run with the Wind / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: Aside from the initial internal discord in the team and a very bothersome ex-teammate from Kakeru's high school track team, there is no real antagonistic force.

Run with the Wind / int_e3739de7	comment	Cast Full of Pretty Boys: In the anime the members on the Kansei team are either pretty or ruggedly handsome guys. And that's without taking the other teams into consideration.

Run with the Wind / int_eb8f64a6	type	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Run with the Wind / int_eb8f64a6	comment	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: This happened to Kakeru when he was in high school. While Kakeru punching his track team's coach after getting fed up with how poorly the coach treated one of the other members was well-deserved, hitting an authority figure still has consequences. The entire team was banned from competing for a year to cover up the incident, and this is largely the reason why Sakaki still antagonizes Kakeru.

Run with the Wind / int_f11e5ede	type	Miracle Rally
Run with the Wind / int_f11e5ede	comment	Miracle Rally: Downplayed. The Kansei team claws their way back into the Hakone Ekiden race on Day 2 from 20th place—it's not enough to win Hakone Ekiden itself (which would had required a lot of unrealistic factors), however they do still clinch fifth place for that day and get ranked tenth overall which earns them a seeded position (their secondary goal). Commentators and spectators do not fail to comment on this astonishing comeback.

Run with the Wind / int_f33ff01c	comment	Adaptational Context Change: Later in the novel Kakeru confesses to Joji that he likes Hanako. In the anime adaptation he does not have the crush on her but the line is still (sort of) kept at the same stage of the story, as "I'm in love, too". This is purposely left ambiguous and puzzles Joji, however it's strongly implied to be a Call-Back to his first meeting with Haiji where he was asked if he liked running.

Run with the Wind / int_f93d8d52	comment	Girlfriend in Canada: The twins are surprised when they learn Shindo has a girlfriend, as no one has ever met her. Later in Episode 11 they notice how busy Shindo is and wonder when he ever has time to see her between the studying and training. They panic and conclude that the girlfriend must be a figment of his imagination due to overworking. The episode confirms the girlfriend's existence when Shindo meets up with her—however in her only appearance she breaks up with him, citing his busy schedules as the reason.

In Episode 16, a group glomp ensues when the team finds out they've qualified for Hakone and they all proceed to stack on top of each other to form a hug pile, starting with Haiji.
