Initial D, Volume 27

Initial D

by Shuichi Shigeno

When an "accidental" oil slick leaves K.T. with a compromised car that can't be fixed in time to race, he loses his cool and wonders if he'll ever be able to get back on track. Meanwhile, Tak battles against the Lancer Evo team, and the driver's goons are set to unleash some serious road rage on him if he wins. Everyone knows that Tak's not the type to throw a race--but when he gets wind of the beatdown that awaits him, he may have finally found a good reason to put it into cruise control!

The storytelling is just so inconsistent. Last volume Tak got talked to about potentially losing the next race, he had struggles because of him not driving the Impreza correctly and now he races and he essentially schools the guy. It was one of his easier races. The KT stuff I enjoyed, even if I predicted what was going to happen, but the Tak portion heavily overshadowed it and it’s bad.

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 😻👍🏎
