The movie '100 Meters' by Kenji Iwaisawa adapts Uoto's manga about two prodigious sprinters from childhood rivalry to professional adulthood. The film explores how fleeting childhood joy in speed transforms into adult pressure, ego, and the physical and mental toll of competitive running. Iwaisawa's work, with Studio Rock 'n' Roll Mountain, uses a serious yet humorous tone to depict sprinting as a technology that shapes individuals and teaches them to endure effort.
