What is 100M About?
Plot and Background Information
The story, titled “100M,” focuses on a talented young runner named Togashi who dominated every 100m race in primary school. However, his winning streak is challenged when a new student, Komiya, arrives. Despite lacking technique, Komiya’s relentless determination catches Togashi’s attention, and he takes him under his wing, igniting within Komiya an unquenchable thirst for victory at any cost. Fast forward a few years, they cross paths again, not as friends but as fierce rivals on the track, where they both find their true identities. “100M” was the debut work of the acclaimed mangaka Uota, renowned for his creation “Orb: On the Movements of the Earth.” This captivating series was first serialized on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app starting from November 2018.

Keisuke Kojima acts as the main animation director and character designer, while Keikankun Yamaguchi serves as art director. The latest teaser showcased the participation of musician Hiroaki Tsutsumi, well-known for creating the soundtrack for “Jujutsu Kaisen”. Actors Tori Matsuzaka and Shōta Sometani have been cast to portray Togashi and Komiya; the latter played Minoru Okabe in Makoto Shinkai’s 2023 anime film, “Suzume”.
