I’m glad that they finished the racing cause the meat of this volume is actually pretty good! The precautions of being quote on quote famous but not taking up on it. The imposters was a fun small arc but it opens up this new girl for Tak and tbh the romance may not be amazing from what we’ve seen before but it’s got its charm and I’m hoping we get more of that and even Natalie coming back to see how it’s handled.

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 summary of this book is a teen named tak is in the world of street racing and is currently still learning he had returned from ibaraki and now arriving at gunma he meets a girl name mika a 17 year old teen who slaps tak causing several problems.
i would connect this book to driftx by todd strasser the book is about a boy named kennin is in the life of street racing and overcomes problems such as racism cars and other more he encounters his best friends sister a mechanic who tunes kennin car and begin having a relationship.
i would give this book 5 stars and recommend this for boys because it is a facinating book of the life in street racing as any boy would want to be in.
