There it is. New engine, new skills, a rematch and Tak at the crossroads on whether or not to join Ry's all star team. I hope Tak stays in his eight six. Feels pointless if he moves to a racing car.

This feels like the beginning all over again! The end of an epic saga, a new machine, new settings, new romance, very cool volume! Also I see this is after the manga is adapted and there is a video game so Shigeno was getting some royalties to jumpstart the story! Excited to see where the legend of Akina goes next!

Seems like it’s tying up whatever loose ends the Natalie romance had at the end, gonna focus on the more serious racing aspect which is a bummer cause it’s been the low point of the series to me so far. Hopefully it gets more intense and better as we move onto a super team. The twist with the man she was seeing was crazyyyy.

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 😻👍🏎

I absolutely adored the anime when I was a kid, So I thought it was time for me to be the actual Manga and I still love it
