[Machine Translation] The scorching hot stage will open anew -- Following the great success of the first stage adaptation, the second stage in 2013 will also be released on DVD to a packed house! The second stage adaptation of the boys' manga "YAMIMUSU PEDAL" (original story by Wataru Watanabe), which has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Champion" since 2008, is "Hakone Gakuen Arc: Sleeping Straight Line Demon". Up-and-coming director Shatner Nishida, who created a unique production method called "Puzzle Ride System" in the previous work and has achieved a miraculous stage adaptation of a bicycle road race, will write the script, supervise the production, and serve as a special advisor. The story of a cycle road race sold more than 4.15 million copies! --Hakone Gakuen, the "champion" of the high school cycling road race world, is an old powerhouse in Kanagawa Prefecture. As a regular winner of the Inter-High School Championships, the team is always expected to win, and the talented members of the club work hard day in and day out to lead Hakone Gakuen to victory. They were confident that they had a group of athletes worthy of the name "champions" this year, but Hayato Shinkai, known as the "straight line demon of Hakone," who had received the number 4, the number of honor given to the ace sprinter, suddenly announced that he would not participate in the Inter-High School Championships. Due to a trauma in his past, he can no longer pedal, and what will become of him? And a disturbing shadow looms over the "champion" Hakone Gakuen (Hakogaku), which lacks number 4... Includes a gorgeous bonus disc with rehearsal scenes, backstage footage, etc. (planned). Booklet enclosed (planned).
