Why this must be read:
You don't have to have seen Ninja Warrior/Sasuke to understand this story, because while it's about Jensen climbing Mount Midoriyama, it's less about the actual obstacle course and more about Jensen.
It's about childhood dreams, and how you often find out they're not what you expected, or dreamed, but, sometimes - only sometimes and only with certain people - you can still live out your dream. It makes me smile, every time I think of Jensen at the top, standing over the obstacle course, knowing that, if nothing else goes right in his life, that he's conquered this.
Excerpt:
That's when he feels Clay move up behind him, rock-steady Clay. Clay who laughs at all the nerdy things Jensen has to do - there is no choice here. He feels a large hand rest on the center of his back for a moment, pressing between his shoulderblades. Then Clay lifts it and thumps it heavily back down - it stings and aches, it's shades of Nagano and Takeda, and it's awesome beyond words.
