Kuroda Iou has many ardent fans for his one-of-a-kind worldview in works such as "Nasu" and "Sexy Voice & Robot." This is an astonishing collection of his bicycle manga, which was serialized in Cycle Sports magazine, a long-established bicycle magazine, for two years starting from the January 2021 issue! Kuroda pedaled his bicycle. He pedaled his manga. He pedaled freely. He pedaled his bicycle up the hills of Shinjuku, down the mountains of Mars, and all the way into the sky.
