Oretachi no Hakone Ekiden (Our Hakone Ekiden) （ Upper ・ Lower 2 volume set ） by Jun Ikeido

This is the latest work by Jun Ikeido, the author of that "Naoki Hanzawa". It was just released in Japan on April 24.
This is a full-length work set in the Hakone Ekiden student selection team, depicting the battles of men who are not recorded in the race. The anguish and struggles of the TV crew relaying the race also run concurrently. It is over 700 pages in the upper and lower parts, but I read it in one sitting, sometimes in tears. I read it once and it is almost brand new.
