100% the closest comparison.
the main difference is
run like the wind is set in college. big windup is ur classic highschool setting
both shows basically have two main characters that share a similar love for their

the supporting cast in kaze gets more spotlight but windups cast dosent delve

id really be shocked if you like kaze and dont like windup
