Initial D, Vol. 7

Initial D (2-in-1) #7

by Shuichi Shigeno, Alessandro Colombo (Translator)

Takumi si lancia in una sfida contro Wataru Akiyama sulla sua Trueno, a cui è stato cambiato il motore. È una “battaglia tra 86”! Il ragazzo sceglie di proposito, come palcoscenico, un luogo caro al suo avversario: Saitama. Il percorso è difficile, stretto e accidentato, con salite e discese in rapida successione… qualcosa che Takumi non ha mai sperimentato prima. E, come se non bastasse, ci pensa lo stile di guida particolare e sregolato di Wataru a rincarare la dose. Sarà un duello davvero mozzafiato!

Reviews

[Mike Reiff]

Hitting a perfect balance of racing zen and some expansion out of Akina, but some of the racing talk is pretty dense at times.

“AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT...
...I MUST REFORGE MY PHILOSOPHY OF DRIVING ALL OVER AGAIN!”

[Matthew Murphy]

There’s a reveal in this volume that legit gave me a triple take and I had to reach out to a friend to confirm I read that correctly. Having so much fun with the pacing and action but the interpersonal relationships? So good.

Another fast-paced Initial D volume with a few big revelations, too.

I hate it when my fans bother me

[Terry Lakins]

This volume sees our hero dealing with a very different type of race: an endurance match. it's got the usual racing thrills, more of the good stuff as always.

[Benjamin Jenkins]

The illustrations are so insane and leveled up in this one I couldn’t believe it and it has probably the best races so far

[Cameron Page]

Another pretty good entry. The manga finds itself in somewhat of an odd transitional zone, but it's still really good.
