I thought something tragic happened, but thank goodness it's a new manga. It looks really interesting! Can't wait to read it, assuming it gets scanlated. |

Now it's fixed, thanks for your remarks.
Hard to tell, but I think it could be band name, because it is very popular among japanese rockers to use english names, song titles etc. And, it's only manga, and it was not even started, so can't talk about anime. This post has been edited by StephanCTR on Sep 27 2012, 10:31 AM | ||||

Let's hope someone picks it up to scan/translate. If not I'm going to have to start taking Japanese classes! |

Professional Amateur Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 10,568 Member No.: 30,882 Joined: Oct 16th 2008 Location: Laniakea | Looks great! Though, I have to say, he still draws faces kind of weird, haha. I hope this gets translated soon. One thing I would really like to see in this manga is some great references to classic Japanese pop/rock of the '70s-'80s. |

Yes, the faces are typical, looks wery "Wangan Midnitish" , he really didn't try to chnge his style, but that's ok . It looks a little sad without cars, he drew cars really great and I liked how he incorporated even the newest ones, unlike Initial D . I only wish for this series to run longer than C1 Runner, which made only 12 tonkobon volumes. This post has been edited by StephanCTR on Oct 10 2012, 12:30 AM | ||
