Get Away, Matsumoto! 100 Days Escape EN
Written and illustrated by Tsuneharu Okusu, Get Away, Matsumoto! 100 Days Escape (also known as Nigero Matsumoto) is a high-octane thriller serialized in Shonen Jump+. It takes the concept of a high-stakes survival game and puts it on two wheels, delivering an incredibly intense and visually gripping chase. Just looking at the striking, adrenaline-fueled cover art tells you that this is a story built entirely around relentless momentum and sheer panic.
The premise centers on the titular character, Matsumoto, who is thrust into a desperate, 100-day struggle to outrun whatever—or whoever—is relentlessly pursuing him. Armed with a bicycle, a signature yellow-and-black helmet, and an absolute will to survive, he literally has to pedal for his life. The artwork perfectly captures that raw, sweaty, wide-eyed terror of a man pushed to his absolute physical limits while constantly racing against a ticking clock.
What makes a concept like this so effective for a manga is the grounded, exhausting nature of the tension. A 100-day countdown combined with the grueling physical toll of cycling creates a gritty survival thriller that feels completely different from your standard supernatural battle series. It is a fast-paced, heart-pounding story about endurance, navigating dangerous terrain, and refusing to stop pedaling no matter how terrifying the pursuit becomes.
