Hyakuemu Anime Movie Reveals Trailer, September Premiere

Hyakuemu anime movie is set to premiere on September 19, announced with a trailer and visual. Shota Sometani and Tori Matsuzaka are voicing Komiya and Togashi. The movie will adapt the manga by Uoto (known for Orb: On the Movements of the Earth).

Rock n' Roll Mountain is animating with Kenji Iwaisawa (On-Gaku: Our Sound) as the director. Keisuke Kojima is in charge of character designs. Keikankun Yamaguchi is the art director.

Kodansha published the original Hyakuemu (Hyaku M.) manga in Magazine Pocket from 2018 to 2019. The series was compiled into five volumes.

The movie was presented at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June of last year. The festival describes the plot as:

Togashi is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.
