Not sure where to put this, here, or in Initial D General, but here goes...
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. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-03-05/kia-asamiya-launches-zero-angel-car-racing-manga/.99239 |

Woah! 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! Image size reduced, original size: 1244 x 1280. http://i.imgur.com/DMpD0LV.jpg to view the image in its original dimension.

Wait a sec, shouldn't this be a spin-off/sequel of Kanojo no Carrera? Didn't Aika drive a Porsche 968CS in that manga and was introduced as Reina's cousin? |

This looks interesting... Might give Shigeno a run for his money and some examples on how to draw women properly XD |

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? |
