Taira Capeta was a 4th grader boy. He had lost his mother when he had
been very little. Although he pretended to be tough in front of his
father, actually he felt lonely. One day, his father brought junk parts
home from his workplace and made a racing cart. Soon, they went to a
circuit to drive the cart. However, Capeta found that its frame was bent
and it could hardly run straight. But, with his technique he managed
the cart. Furthermore, he followed soon after the fast cart and he could
nearly leave it behind. The driver in the cart was Minamoto Naomoi, the
champion of the East Japan Junior Cart. Looking at their chase, Naomi’s
mother, Minamoto Nanako, advised Capeta to take part in the official
race.
This manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for shonen in 2005.
