I am not entirely sure what the car racing will be in this series, but I am assuming it might be circuit racing considering the main character is involved in kart racing and is apparently a supporting character in Kia Asamiya's most recent works, Kanojo no Carrera. Kanojo no Carrera is also sort-of car related, it focuses on a woman named Reina (as far as I remember, she worked at a magazine of some sort) who inherits her late father's Type 964 Porsche 911 Carrera RS (with a stick shift!) and experiences with the car. I read a few chapters when it first came out and at least in the beginning it's about her learning to drive it (she doesn't know how to drive a stick shift) and some minor ups and downs of owning the car. Kia Asamiya, of Nadesico fame, launches new car racing manga featuring a female lead who drives a 2015+ WRX STi This post has been edited by BOZZ on Mar 5 2016, 07:43 PM | ||

Thanks for the info Bozz~ I'm actually really excited about this manga... especially if Viz handles it like they're doing with Black Lagoon within their Signature Series line. Looks really good!

Didn't Aika drive a Porsche 968CS in that manga and was introduced as Reina's cousin? This post has been edited by HashiriyaR32 on Mar 6 2016, 11:31 AM |

Yeah, this is a spin off, I guess I kind of worded it oddly by saying it's focusing on a supporting character from Kanojo no Carrera. Speaking of which, was Kanojo no Carrera licensed by Viz or any company in particular for an English language release? | ||
