The original story follows the character "Sakamichi Onoda," a true stereotype of an Otaku who is crazy about anime figures and games. His routine involves cycling to Akihabara (a district in Japan), a distance of 90 kilometers. He joins a local cycling team after meeting two classmates who are famous cyclists. Undergoing rigorous training to compete and improve, he eventually discovers his own talent in the sport.
The author launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Shonen Champion magazine in 2008, where the story has already inspired stage plays in Japan and two anime television adaptations to date. The first season of the anime arrived in 2013. The second season premiered in Japan in 2014. After the seasons, two compilation films premiered in Japan in 2014. This year a new film arrived titled Yowamushi Pedal: Spare Bike.
The story of this third season is set after the events that occurred in the first two seasons, along with the last movie released in 2015, where all the previous third-year students leave high school and end up graduating.
