Monkey Turn
Monkey Turn is a sports anime about professional speedboat racing, adapted from Kawai Katsutoshi's manga that ran in Weekly Shounen Sunday. The story follows Tadano Kenji, a guy who's too short to make it as a professional baseball player. When his coach suggests he try boat racing instead, Kenji eventually reconnects with his old girlfriend. They make a deal: she'll stay faithful to him if he can become Japan's best racer within three years. While visiting her, Kenji invents a new racing technique called the Monkey Turn—a tricky boat maneuver that gives him a serious edge over the competition. But having one cool trick isn't necessarily enough to reach the top. The real question is whether Kenji has what it takes to actually pull it off.
