Where do I even start? The plot of them racing for this dead girl was a dud from the beginning. It’s so dumb that after 2 years they finally face each other….with their cars. I get it’s a car manga but come on that’s so corny, also the way the race is written is horrible, constant flashbacks that would work for an anime feels like it’s cutting into this race in a manga. The fake out death was dumb, then we head to the second portion, golf date with the older men in attendance being pervs (one of them is the next opponent I think) and then the next opponent for Tak is an eight six…HE ALREADY FACED ONE TWICE!!! This makes no sense and the only good thing to come out of it is that the reaper decided to grow up and leave racing at the end but even that is told poorly.

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 😻👍🏎
