One year after losing her leg, 16-year-old Rin is tired—tired of the painful physical therapy, tired of being treated differently, and tired of her stupid, heavy, awkward prosthetic leg. All that changes when she encounters the Blade Runners, a group of one-legged athletes who run with "blades"—carbon fiber prosthetics specialized for competitive running—made by their gifted prosthetist, Kazami. The blades are light, flexible, and formidably difficult to control—Rin can barely walk with one, much less sprint. But as she tumbles to the ground again and again, she rediscovers many of the things that she'd forgotten, and finds a new goal: to compete in the Paralympics.

Akiko Hayashi has ambitious and distinct aspirations: to debut a flourishing manga while still in school, feature her beloved actor as its star, and eventually wed him. Unfortunately, she lacks the drive and proficiency to transform these dreams into reality.

As a result, she develops an intimate connection with Sensei and grasps what it takes to become a prosperous mangaka and the responsibility of being an adult.

Note: this manga is not BL. Don't tag it as such. Here are the key components of our story: two unusually beautiful boys (known only as Big Master and Small Master), an abandoned church, a blood-buying business, and a homeless young girl named Hansoo – who has unwittingly contracted herself to participate in said business. Big Master wants Hansoo out of the church as soon as possible, but it turns out that each of these characters needs something from each other. Big Master needs customers for blood (and Hansoo’s blood asap); Small Master needs a link to the human world, and any way to aggravate Big Master (read: Hansoo); and Hansoo needs to keep away from Big Master long enough to stay in the church until she can afford her own place. It seems the boys might have a lot of time on their hands, but how long does Hansoo have to figure out what she’s gotten herself into? Official Translations: English (, ),
