When I started reading this I thought 'wow I’ve never heard of this' so I immediately went to youtube and watched a 2 hour documentary about solar car racing, which was much more interesting than this [I recommend watching that. If you plan on reading this then watch it after] it had heroes/villains & action & many plot-twists [yeah it was a good documentary, guesstimation of 8/10]. A large part of solar racing seems to be the in-depth work in regards to the engineering that the team goes through in making/designing the car but this manga seemed to skip over a lot of that. Thecharacters were fine and motivations & backstories were well done for the two main characters (7/10). I would have liked if they had given more details about solar cars and racing in general, I also didn’t like that they had a completely inexperienced driver lead them to victory because it didn’t really make sense [one of the other drivers was an f3 driver] he did ride his bicycle but they didn’t really show him learning how to race [at least the co-driver practiced racing Suzuka circuit in a game, but mc didn't]. Overall, 6/10
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. (Source: tethysdust)
