The biggest negative this volume has is its mini race that’s straight up bad. The racers calling each other nerds, fat or even hicks is just terrible. Then of course Tak just effortlessly wins a race. Hoping the physical versions update this cause it was not fun but besides that this is the best volume in a while, we got the old crew at the beginning and then another romance happening in the second half.

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 😻👍🏎
