Suzuka (涼風) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kōji Seo. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from February 2004 to September 2007, with its chapters collected in 18 tankōbon volumes. The series is a character-driven romance story that uses the athletics of track and field as a subplot. The story primarily follows the life of the teenager Yamato Akitsuki, who moved to Tokyo to change himself, and his main love interest Suzuka Asahina, a talented and highly scouted high jumper who lives in Yamato's aunt's dormitory and attends his new high school.
It was adapted into a 26-episode anime television series broadcast on TV Tokyo from July to December 2005. The manga was licensed for publication in North America by Del Rey Manga under their mature line; it published the first 15 volumes, before it folded and transferred its publication rights to Kodansha USA. The anime series was licensed by Funimation (currently Crunchyroll). Two light novels written by Ayuna Fujisaki based on the series have also been released.
