By this time, the series has started to become repetitive. I guess I have reached a point where I could live without it and I desperately need the shelf space. So this is going to the Culling.

god what a boring volume.

i remember watching the episodes based off of this and the next volume of the manga and being bored out of my mind. i just wanted it to end. i felt the very same way while reading this.

i can tell shuichi shigeno has no clue what to do anymore because he wants so badly to have project d/takumi win at absolute everything

This shockingly is the most technical race we’ve had before. I feel like this one is more detailed as the rest of them but with that becomes the big negative, the race doesn’t even finish in this volume. Nor does it seem like the conclusion will happen shortly into the next, it’s so dumb. I’m so glad that people are getting omnibuses now because reading the singles are probably unbearable. They tried showing the opponent on top and them leading to throw the reader off but we know that when that happens if the race doesn’t immediately finish that means we’re getting a turn around and that’s what happened. Now watch the KT match after this be ridiculously short.

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 😻👍🏎

The storyline already feels to me like it's running out of steam, but this installment was particularly lame. The first battle against Team Purple Shadows seems to drag on forever, and the dialogue mostly consists of the characters saying "Wow, this battle is dragging on forever! Will it ever end!?!" I certainly hope so, it's getting harder and harder for me to justify the $10 price tag when very little of interest has happened in the last few volumes. The translation is getting kind of sloppy too: the technical breakdown of the Honda S2000's pros and cons is a garbled mess that reads as if it was run through BabelFish word by word to yield hilariously literal "Engrish" results, instead of being paraphrased into commonly used automotive terms. Kind of nitpick-y, but since the series has such a formidable reputation for the accuracy of its technical details, it's disappointing to see so little attention being paid to getting them right anymore.
