Yowamushi Pedal Vol 1

For the love of all things otaku--anime, video games, figures, you name it! Power-pedaling Sakamichi Onoda has long been conquering the steepest slopes and regularly making the ninety-kilometer round-trip to Akihabara on a mommy bike!! But when his bike commute to his new high school lands him in a confrontation with the serious first-year road racer Imaizumi, Onoda has a major showdown on his hands! Can this meek geek really out-pedal the future ace of the school road-racing team?!/DIV

Sakamichi Onoda's first race...and his first road racer! Sakamichi Onoda finds himself in his first real road race following his fateful encounter with fellow first-years and road-racing hopefuls--the driven ace, Shunsuke Imaizumi, and the gifted sprinter and "Speedster of Naniwa," Shoukichi Naruko! But the heated first-years' race for team Sohoku is serious business, and Onoda's competing on his granny bike!! After struggling to keep up, Onoda trades in his old bike midrace for a brand-spankin'-new road bike, and his slumbering potential comes bursting out!! But will it be enough to ride to the top?!

The 1000-km training camp run is in full swing, with a spot on Sohoku's Inter-High team at stake! Sakamichi Onoda's attack successfully breaks through the blockade created by second-year Teshima!! Friendship, perseverance, pride...As emotions run high, which side will cross the finish line first...?! Sohoku's Inter-High team lineup is decided at last!! And once the ultimate roster has been selected, the entire Sohoku team must come together as one to prepare for the Inter-High!!

Five kilometers...and a five-way tie! Victory is within reach-but for whom? With less than five kilometers remaining on the grueling climb up Mt. Fuji, the challenge between Manami and Midousuji comes to a close as the battle for the finish line begins! Midousuji breaks away, but Sohoku's Imaizumi relentlessly pursues him. Will Imaizumi's battle with his long-standing rival end in victory-or defeat?

Race, start. Click...click! There are only 80 meters left until the Sprinters’ Goal, and Hakone’s Doubashi and Sohoku’s first-year Kaburagi are neck and neck! With so little distance remaining, Kaburagi decides to finally shift into top gear—but will it be enough to overcome Doubashi’s rampage and win the green sprinter tags?! Meanwhile, Onoda gets swallowed by the peloton just before the Mountain Stage. It’s familiar territory for him, but there’s one key difference: Onoda’s new reputation as defending champion means everyone’s on guard against his infamously outrageous comebacks…

Just once. If only he could win just once... Teshima’s always had a single desire when it comes to road racing-he wants to be the hero at least one time. And now, 400 meters before the Mountain Stage goal, he has the opportunity of his life! With Manami down for the count due to mechanical issues, nothing can stop him from clinching the win...right? In the aftermath of the two’s showdown, Midousuji’s unwavering pursuit of the day-one goal leaves chaos in his wake!

The Inter-High is near. The stage is set. The roles are cast...or are they? One last challenge-Sohoku's final rite of passage-stand between the members of Team Sohoku and the Inter-High. At this year's Inter-High training camp, can first year Kaburagi live up to expectations and complete the course...without Danchiku? And when third year Kouga joins the race, can Teshima hold onto his title, or will Team Sohoku have a new Captain?

The big day has come! "Train" is out on his date with "Hermess"! But now what? What does he say? What does he do? He's on his own and doesn't have his online support group to guide him through the event. You can be sure that he'll be back on the keyboard to recap it afterward ... and try to figure out what to do next. And why is it suddenly so important for Hermess to introduce Train Man to her special friend?

As the flames of war spread across the globe, the terrans find themselves thoroughly outmatched by the Martian Kataphrakts. While Nao's brilliant tactical analysis may have enabled his ragtag unit to prevail over the Kataphrakts once or twice, these small victories are hardly enough to turn the tide. As Princess Asseylum grapples with her conscience over whether she should reveal her true identity in an effort to save lives, her grandfather--His Majesty Rayregalia Vers Rayvers--orders an abrupt cease-fire. With so many clamoring for bloodshed, how long can this frail peace hold?

New Beginnings in Familiar Lands After a horrific accident put her on life support, the last vestige of freedom Keina Kagami had was in the VRMMORPG World of Leadale. When she wakes up in the body of her game avatar, though, Keina-now Cayna-finds that the worries of her old life appear to be a thing of the past, but somehow this new land doesn't seem to be quite the Leadale she remembers...
