KU manga

New engine time with Tak struggling to adapt and accidentally insulting another eight six driver. I liked that Iggy had a chance to shine with a new love interest and driving himself, also his little bit about wanting to stand as equals with Tak as a rival. I'd like to see Ry get in the car with Tak for a ride.

This volume just shows me that I know nothing about cars 😅 I was waiting to see what was under the hood and when we finally saw it I went “I don’t get it lol”. The Iggy/Kazumi material carries this volume and well it’s the driving point of it. Leading to the race the story develops better. Also new track next volume which will be great.

I have a physical copy of volume 13

This is the beginning of the unknown. I have no idea what happens beyond this. I went ahead and began my memorabilia collection by ordering volume 13 off of eBay!

This is one of my favorite anime’s, story could definitely use a lot of help but the racing’s really exciting and love some of the main characters 😻👍🏎
