Initial D

by Shuichi Shigeno

The Manic Miata It's sheer motor madness as the match between Tohru's Miata and Tak's Trueno takes some dangerous twists and turns. Tak performs a tricky maneuver to give him the upper hand. Tohru won't let the victory slip away without a fight—can he perform the same maneuver and keep his ride intact? Or will this be the battle that ends his racing career? As the two hurtle down the hill at break-neck speeds, K.T. sets up for his uphill battle against Junro Kawai.

This feels a little anticlimactic. It feels like its gone back to basics where everyone was finding their feet and being underestimated like the initial books. Instead of Tak being underestimated, it's the whole team.

Shigeno’s art style - how he captures motion, speed, making the world warp around cars as they race, is fascinating and likely what the series needed as it continues to zip from one race to the next. Nothing to huge here on the story or character front, but the denser, chewier art style is very cool.

We are getting out of Akina! Hitting the road fast & furious! Awesome clash of approaches here, is it the ride, or the driver? When is it okay to push the limits? How does pride play into street racing? Is street racing even a sport? Love it, still loving it, can’t see myself stopping loving it!

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 😻👍🏎
