"A sincere, plainspoken attempt to answer the question: What does it mean to run?" - Kirkus Reviews

"Miura (Kamusari Tales Told at Night) beautifully captures the camaraderie, conflicts, and sacrifices that come with striving for a common goal. . . . The emotional journey of each character resonates deeply, making readers root for them as much as for the race itself. [Run with the Wind] is not just a story about a marathon; it's a testament to the power of friendship, resilience, and the beauty of pushing beyond one's limits." - Library Journal
