I'm just starting to get into reading manga and kept hearing about Initial D. I am also trying to learn more about the drift scene in Japan, so reading this book was very informative.
This manga follows Takumi, a tofu delivery driver, and his innate talents honed by driving up and down Mount Akina daily delivering food for his family's business. Takumi has little knowledge or interest in the drift scene, but is pulled into the world of drifting as the discovery of the mystery AE86 driver comes to light.
I cannot wait to see where Takumi's story goes in the next installments. I did thoroughly enjoy the omnibus version, combining multiple volumes of this story. The art and storyline were so complimentary.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
