Initial D, Volume 30

Initial D

by Shuichi Shigeno

Tak had done the impossible by using the side gutters to re-pass Shirojima and keep himself in the battle, but has he really done more than simply prolong the inevitable? As yet another round gets under way, it's painfully clear that Shijojima won't fall for the same trick twice! Meanwhile, K.T. gives a stranded young lady the ride of her life, but when he drops her off at a gas station, will he be tempted to ask her out, or will he keep his resolve to stay away from women until Project D's good and over?

Fluke win, worst win in the series. Wasted the previous volume with them racing back and forth to leave out the end of the race just for the guy losing cause he wanted to vomit was fucking stupid.

[Mike Reiff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jumping ahead to volume 30, Shigeno seems to be hitting something of a rut - just one race stretched out over the entire book, somewhat repetitive driving philosophical talk from other books, and no side stories or town texture, except for an extra story at the end, elements which provided much needed depth in precious chapters. Obviously, if you can get your hands on any Initial D cheaply you should do it, but this story seems to be struggling to get into gear in year 3 of the US run.

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 😻👍🏎

a teen, tak is in the world of street racing and is battling shojima as the days go by k.t.meets a girl at a gas station and can possibly ask her out again.
a text to text connection is to initial D vol.31 where tak is still to prepare for the race against shojima and k.t. is still wondering he could ask out the young girl he picked up from the gas station.
i would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because books not so specific after all it is a graphic novel and the seems to keep concluding.
