Translation

Ekiden is a sport in which several people take turns running a long road.

A team usually has about six to ten people.

The runners practice every day to make their bodies strong.

When their own leg ends, they hand the tasuki directly to the next person.

Hoping to run even one second faster, everyone gives their all to the goal.

The people watching by the roadside also cheer in loud voices.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
