IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 28,412 Member No.: 1,414 Joined: Mar 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Looks like Shigeno is working on another new work after having finished his first post-Initial D work after 2 volumes (Takane no Hana) back in Decemeber. The new series is apparently about a fashionista who has an amazing right arm who joins a woman's baseball team. A pretty big departure from his previous works to be sure...

Takumi and keiskes life and new challenges in the pro world and how all they learned from ryuske and the streets helps them in the pro world. We need more Bunta and way more itsuki and all the speed star characters. We need the side stories and the friendships.

Maybe slightly less work re-release the entire thing in HD lol |

Considering stage 5 and final stage were weak apart from the first episode in stage 5 which i enjoyed a lot They could continue the series in so many ways but as always, everything that i love is never "popular"....instead we get endless episodes of Naruto >__< |

Initial D is actually one of the most popular shonen manga in Japan. | ||

Oh wow, that's actually really nice to know! Too bad the same can't be sad about North America & Initial D In North America, they need to make the cars be Iphones to make the series catch on haha This post has been edited by Import_Lexus on Jun 23 2015, 05:55 AM | ||

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 28,412 Member No.: 1,414 Joined: Mar 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | His new series seems to be still going, I kind of wonder how sales are and whether it'll last longer than the other one he did. |

He's going through new manga like pairs of underwear. Third time's the charm? It's almost like after two flops he gave up trying to do something original and figured going back to racing stories would do the trick. | ||

Well at least this time he can mess around with timelines and not worry about introducing cars that don't match up with the presumed date. This post has been edited by BOZZ on Mar 30 2017, 02:31 PM | ||

The point is in this timeline the MC is a particularly rare breed. It's an interesting enough idea, I am curious to see how Shigeno builds around it. It could be trash, it could be cool. This will only be his third racing-oriented series. | ||

Hopefully it turns out as good as the other two, although you could argue that at least one of his one shots (from before Initial D) was tangentially car-related. This post has been edited by BOZZ on Mar 30 2017, 07:09 PM | ||
