  What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:08
  talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, today we're going to
• 0:12
  talk about a series that brings about some inspiration and
• 0:21
  slight Nostalgia for me a little bit, which is why I broke out,
• 0:24
  my old cross-country Jagger from high school, which I can
• 0:30
  surprise, they still fit. But but there there's a series
• 0:33
  this series is Called run on your new legs.
• 0:37
  Now, this is a fairly new series but a fairly short one.
• 0:43
  Now, it is published by Yen press who shot it to them for
• 0:48
  giving me a digit review, copy and the story and art is done by
• 0:55
  what's Haru Midori now. This series, like I said, it's
• 1:03
  fairly sure, but we just started getting it in English in this
• 1:08
  year. I think that's currently three
• 1:11
  volumes out, but I only got to read like a volume and a half so
• 1:15
  far, but the whole series, there's only five volumes across
• 1:21
  38 chapters. So, fairly short series but but
• 1:25
  yeah. So this series follows a young
• 1:28
  lad by the name of the Michelle, get his full name.
• 1:34
  Where did it go? Shota Kiku, zato shelter.
• 1:40
  Kick is out to who in middle school.
• 1:44
  He was kind of like a star Athlete on the soccer, team him
• 1:49
  and his best friend, but there he he ended up in a terrible
• 1:55
  accident. I believe at the start of his
• 1:57
  high school year, where he ended up losing one of his legs.
• 2:04
  Thinking his left leg and so, and he also ended up missing,
• 2:10
  pretty much that whole first year of school.
• 2:11
  So he is sort of story. Pretty much picks up with him
• 2:15
  starting freshman year all over again.
• 2:19
  All right, his first year of high school all over again just
• 2:24
  kind of not motivated much because it's like well you know
• 2:28
  this big dream him and his best friend had.
• 2:31
  He feels like he can no longer pursue do.
• 2:34
  Due to his injury. And so this story does a very
• 2:39
  interesting very interesting and inspiring job.
• 2:43
  Just kind of both kind of giving more insight into a person's
• 2:51
  life. For a person who might be
• 2:53
  dealing with a disability of some sort but specifically with
• 2:57
  a prosthetic leg or a prosthetic limb in general as so across
• 3:04
  Like I said that this volume is some change that I read it was
• 3:07
  just very neat. Like I said, just seeing this
• 3:10
  character, start to slowly, find new motivations again.
• 3:16
  Because basically what ends up happening is one day, he is out
• 3:21
  at the store at the mall somewhere or whatever with a
• 3:25
  buddy of his and there is a parent who is not paying
• 3:30
  attention as we says I've seen all too often been a pair of
• 3:33
  myself Watching other parents, who has a baby in a stroller
• 3:38
  pushing, and they also have a small toddler.
• 3:41
  And so, the coming off the of the elevator and the toddler,
• 3:45
  one of his toys Falls in like the little like little slot
• 3:49
  where the elevator doors close and stuff.
• 3:52
  And the mom is not paying attention.
• 3:53
  She just walking think of her child is behind her.
• 3:56
  Well, shelter notices, this and just instinctively runs to try
• 4:02
  to save the Kid and stuff. So while coincidentally in the
• 4:08
  same area and it happens to be this a guy named Chidori who I
• 4:15
  guess the job title or his profession is a pasta
• 4:19
  prosthetist, basically somebody who makes prosthetic Limbs.
• 4:23
  And so he sees the way Showalter is moving and running But also
• 4:32
  knows like, Of course house, how wobbly.
• 4:35
  He's kind of running. Because, of course, the his
• 4:39
  prosthetic collector, he has is not meant for running, you know,
• 4:43
  it's just meant for just everyday, just walking around at
• 4:45
  a normal pace and stuff. And so this kind of begins this
• 4:53
  journey, this partnership best L Dory offering shelter a people
• 5:01
  running prosthetic leg, that you stay we see on the on the cover
• 5:06
  of the of the manga volume and and shelter basically starts to
• 5:12
  begin to find a new sense of purpose and a new goal because
• 5:19
  he still yearns for running in general even if he might never
• 5:23
  be able to actually play soccer again, just to be able to adjust
• 5:29
  Just spread across the Horizon, across a grassy field.
• 5:35
  And yeah. And that's kind of, like I said,
• 5:37
  like, like like the longest short of what I've read so far.
• 5:41
  Now, he did I came up with this was in volume 1 or this, my been
• 5:46
  in the beginning of volume 2, but he did kind of start to kind
• 5:53
  of get. This is kind of like, what
• 5:54
  starts to get like the world's turning of him one.
• 5:58
  To get into actual competition and stuff like that when it
• 6:03
  comes to running and yeah. And so and and one thing I love
• 6:08
  about like sports Monger cuz a while back when I first started
• 6:13
  getting into like sports related series, I was never sure if I
• 6:16
  could actually enjoy them, reading them versus watching
• 6:20
  them in the anime. But I've come to realize, you
• 6:23
  know, of course, several series, I've read over the years like
• 6:26
  high IQ and now, You know, running your new legs and
• 6:31
  several other sports manga and stuff is that if the art and
• 6:35
  stuff is done well enough, then sometimes you can still feel
• 6:40
  like you were seeing the movement happen.
• 6:43
  And so Yeah. So there was like I said there
• 6:47
  was a point light source like the end and it was the end of
• 6:50
  the first volume where he starts to actually try some actual
• 6:56
  competition and stuff. And like I said, just kind of
• 6:59
  just starts to inspire him to wanted to go Beyond and try to,
• 7:06
  you know, find a new, some new goals and a new purpose.
• 7:11
  But yeah. Like I said, I don't really have
• 7:14
  too much to say to drag this Jean.
• 7:16
  But like I said, this is just something that was just very
• 7:19
  motivate motivating and inspiring to read and I look
• 7:24
  forward to reading the rest of the series cause like I said
• 7:27
  it's only going to be 38 chapters across the five
• 7:29
  volumes. So I'll probably just wait until
• 7:32
  because more than likely if three volumes are out already
• 7:35
  we're probably getting all five by the end of 2020 3.
• 7:39
  Hopefully and honestly I would also love to see this be maybe
• 7:43
  like a short, maybe like a 12 Sold anime or something to have
• 7:47
  13-episode anime because I feel like this would be something
• 7:50
  that would be very, very cool to see as well.
• 7:55
  But yeah. So give run on your new legs are
• 7:58
  shot. Like I said, it is a very cool
• 8:01
  and insightful, look into the life of a person who might have
• 8:08
  gone through this, try to tragedy but also and how a
• 8:11
  person can still find inspiration.
• 8:15
  Motivation to try something new. Once you kind of meet new people
• 8:21
  and kind of just kind of just open up and just find somebody
• 8:27
  who will push you to want to try something new to want to be
• 8:32
  better. And with that being said, I'm
• 8:35
  done. Thank you so much for watching
• 8:37
