GKIDS describes the movie:
100 METERS follows Togashi, a track star who 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, and Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.

Hyakuemu is a Japanese manga created by Uoto (also known as the creator of Orb: On the Movement of the Earth), who served as both the writer and illustrator. The series was published digitally through Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket website and app, running from November 2018 until August 2019. It was compiled into a total of five volumes.
