Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (2018)
Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru is an anime about a group of college boys who got kind of tricked into joining the track and field club. This is a sports anime but its quite different not only because the characters are college age but the story is different.
The story is a slower pace than normal sports anime, and its in a more mature tone. Haiji has been recruiting students to live in the apartment building. He needs ten and finds Kakeru and makes him stay at the building. Haiji then tells them all that they're now a part of track and field, and they must run with him every morning so they can train for Hakone Eiken which is a prominent relay marathon race. What sets this anime apart from other sports anime is that the majority of the characters do not want to run. So this anime mainly focuses on the characters struggle with this situation. So far its hard for me to tell if they will even get to Hakone, or if the running is just a way to get some character development kind of stories into the 10 guys.
If you want a chill mature kind of sports anime I would recommend this. Its definitely a slow build up, but I've gotten to like it quite a bit the more I watch. Also the art and animation is great!
