The first visual features Amane who looks cold and distant, unlike Shun, who looks like the human version of sunlight. Yu Arimura has a look of immense determination in his eyes and is motivated to overcome any hindrances that occur.
The differences in their personalities are evident through these visuals, which makes it even more exciting. Moreover, the vast difference in their backgrounds has a significant impact on the plot as well.
Yu is a former idol who fell in love with horse racing after witnessing a match. Shun was brought up on an island and has always wanted to ride horses someday.
Amane is someone who’s lost in the path of life that his parents set for him but longs to fulfill his dream. All three are ordinary 15-year-old boys with dreams in their hearts and hopes in their eyes, but only one will make it to the top.
