   GUNJOU (KIRIHARA IDUMI) Manga   
   群青; Gun-jou   
   Released: 2011	   
   Author: Sakamoto Kou	   
   Artist:	Kirihara Idumi		   
   Genres: Comedy, School Life, Seinen, Slice Of Life, Sports(track   
   particularly, running specifically)	   
      
   Michi Yomogihara, a petite girl with slender legs and a running pace   
   that puts motorcycles to shame. After spending most of her life abroad,   
   she returns to Japan to pursue her passion and her idol. Upon coming   
   face to face with said idol, however, it becomes apparent that things   
   won't go as smoothly as she had hoped.   
      
   bliss notes:	Michi is to running what Yawara is to Judo, i.e. naturally   
   gifted and highly trained.  Note that she has spent considerable time in   
   Kenya whence cometh a plethora of excellent runners so this is sort of   
   strange(Japanese?) take on the influence of environment.   
   	She idolized another runner and has been disappointed to find that the   
   former runner has given up on the field.   
      
   	I have just finished the first two chapters but intend to read all   
   which are available.  It would be worth buying.
