OK so I don't know why is there not a single review in this beautiful movie? AnywaysI just watched this because I was bored of dramas and wanted to start watching movies and this was on my plan to watch list so I decided to give it a try and I do not regret it at all.
*****SPOLIER!!!*****
It's basically about Sakamichi Onoda who is an otaku, loves animation and a loner. He was about to enter the anime research club, but the club was suspended because there weren't a lot of members. Imaizumi Shunsuke who is part of the cycling club saw Sakamichi Onoda riding the bike to school early in the morning to go school and wanted to have a cycling challenge with him. If he lost then he will join the anime research club so Sakamichi Onoda agreed to do the challenge. After the challenge Sakamichi Onoda realized that he likes cycling and went to apply to the cycling club.
I like that this mainly focuses on cycling and friendship, so if you were looking for some romance it might not be for you. The characters, acting, music, atmosphere, and story all are 10/10 for me. Its a must watch. I know this is a not good review, but I really hope u watch the movie.

Together is better
Break from my drama, decided to just looked randomly at YouTube. Find this movie, since fit with the Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge so I just jump watch this. Haha...So basically the story its about Sakamichi Onoda (SO) who is an otaku, loves animation and a loner. One day Imaizumi Shunsuke (IS) saw SO riding his 'mom' bike (bike with little basket at the front) in the steep incline, that most people kinda afraid to ride the bike there, but SO can easily ride his bike there. IS became curious with SO & asked him to compete with him in that steep incline with the bet to join each other intended club (SO with his anime club & IS with bicycle racing club). Short story of course SO is losing. For obvious reason, SO with his 'mom' bike and IS with ricing bike & more over all the training IS had before.
But that competition make SO blood 'boiled' with excitement & he decided to join bicycle racing club too. What excitement do you ask? For someone who is lonely and have no friend like SO, the excitement is about someone to compete / join activity together, the excitement of finding friend & opponent in the same field together.
In the club, they do the test to join the club & find out that turn out SO has talent for bicycle racing. They begin training for the competition & SO enjoy every moment of it. While in the same time we also found out that IS has fear & trauma that he has to overcome.
I really like how they show us that in the end bicycle racing sport turn out not single person racing or problem. But turn out this about group & how to support each other in the group. How we need to just be patient to wait for our turn to shine and not selfish.
Overall this really good movie to teach us about team & support each other. But as Mluth wrote: "if you were looking for some romance this movie might not be for you."
