Based on a short story by Mitsuru Adachi, better known for baseball manga Touch—this is his rare non-sports romance work.
This OVA captures a specific 1980s Japanese phenomenon: the bōsōzoku subculture of rebel motorcycle gangs, but reimagined through a softer, more introspective lens than the usual media panic.
