Gunjō no fanfāre or Fanfare of Adolescence features a rich ensemble of teenage characters who, except for their common goal to become jockeys, couldn’t be more different. There is the former idol, the innocent country lad, the tsundere fanboy, the Briton, the commoner, the two young elite, and the girl. Thanks to this diverse cast, we get to experience eight different stories. Each has its challenges, from coping with loss to dealing with one’s parentage, being preoccupied with financial issues, or learning about the limits of one’s abilities.
