There is so much wrong with the writing throughout this series and this is one of the biggest. The fact this kid is toying with Tak just to impress a girl who is way older than him so fucking dumb as a final race. His first street race, going up against Tak, the MC, who’s only lost once….and he’s playing him like a fiddle just to impress this girl he met a half hour ago is so shit.
