To save Naoko from drowning when they were on their boating trip in Nagasaki, Yuuichi's father lost his life. For this, Yuuichi has never forgiven Naoko.

Years later the two young people meet again in Tokyo, Yuuichi has already become a top athlete in his age group and acquired the name "The gale on the Japanese seas". When Naoko approached the boy, he lied to her that he has forgiven her.

But when Naoko volunteered to manage the rest stops during a marathon, Yuuichi would rather get a heat stroke than take the bottle from her, by this, the girl knew that she has never been forgiven.

Seeing the tension between the two, the marathon coach decided to step in and ease their relationship. He recruited Naoko into the marathon team as a manager and forces the two to work together. Will the two finally reach some sort of understanding, or will they let their grudge get in the way of their futures?
