Tak Fujiwara spends a lot of time behind the wheel. His tofu delivery job sends him racing down the treacherous roads of Mount Akina, and without even realizing it, Tak has mastered racing techniques that take most drivers a lifetime to learn. Of course, none of his friends realize this.
They’re all too busy watching the Akina Speed Stars, the local street racing team. When the legendary Red Suns show up to challenge the Speed Stars, it looks as if the Trueno Eight Six that has been seen racing through the mountain roads. The question remains who’s the driver of this phantom car?
Initial D Vol.1 is a Graphic Novel by Shuichi Shigeno. The book starts off with an ally, Itski talking to the protagonist Takumi, about what car he is going to get. Takumi doesn't understand why Itsuki wants a car, and to drive so bad. They then go to work, and Iketani tells them about their car group's meet up that night, and that they should come along. They then go to the meet and they meet the Agaki Red Suns, another car group, that then challenged them to a time trial battle on the mountain Initial D Vol.1 is a Graphic Novel by Shuichi Shigeno.

Takumi doesn't understand why Itsuki wants a car, and to drive so bad. They then go to work, and Iketani tells them about their car group's meet up that night, and that they should come along. They then go to the meet and they meet the Agaki Red Suns, another car group, that then challenged them to a time trial battle on the mountain course next Saturday.
The next day Natsuki asked Takumi if he wanted to go to the beach on Sunday and he said yes to it. Takumi's dad was met by iketani because he was asking for him to race for him against the red suns. Takumi's dad told Takumi that he has to race against the red suns, to use the car for the beach. Takumi then decided to race, even though he wasn't interested in it, and thought it was pointless. This book has lots of action, and drama consistent throughout the story. The author does this to keep people engaged.

The writing in this book is sometimes difficult to keep with because it changes scenes very quickly, and sometimes out of nowhere. This book reminds me of another Manga, called Wangan Midnight where it has similar aspects of writing, and artwork. I would recommend this book to another classmate because it is a very entertaining book if you know whats going on. However I wouldn't recommend this book to my classmates because it can be very confusing at sometimes, and its storyline is complicated.

Initial D Cz
Κάνει σε μερικά σημεία κοιλιά γιατί το μοτίβο των sub-arc είναι πάντα το ίδιο - κόντρες,street cred,γυναίκες- και οι όποιες διαφοροποιήσεις (που λόγω αντικειμένου είναι περιορισμένες) δεν βοηθούν πολύ την κατάσταση. Το σχέδιο είναι απλό και γραμμικό,τα αυτοκίνητα πολύ καλο-σχεδιασμένα και κατά την διάρκεια κίνησης,μιας και πάνω από το 50% των σχεδίων είναι αγώνες. Λίγο ενοχλητικά είναι τα συννεφάκια με τα ηχητικά εφέ που πιάνουν μεγάλο μέρος του σχεδίου αλλά δεν επηρεάζουν την ανάγνωση. Μεγάλη απογοήτευση η Tokyopop που έκανε το ένα λάθος μετά το άλλο στις μεταφράσεις, στην απόδοση ονομάτων, στην αφαίρεση σελίδων κατά το δοκούν, όλα στο βωμό της αποδοχής από το Αμερικανικό κοινό(το intro τραγουδάκι στο anime είναι επιεικώς απαράδεκτο).
Προτείνω για τους λάτρεις των αυτοκινήτων και όχι μόνο! So, this is Initial D: Fast racing cars, boring tofu delivery cars (that turn out to be also moonlight as race cars), teenager car racing machismo, and stereotypical plot with the obligatory reluctant protagonist and the obligatory high school hormones. One-dimensional characters cut from cardboard. I would not call it a great work.But it does have some charm: this is the most exciting explanation of drifting I've ever read.

I would not call it a great work.But it does have some charm: this is the most exciting explanation of drifting I've ever read. And everything looks so very 1990s (.as a kid born in early 1990s the aesthetics of the era bring back nostalgic memories!).and I admit that I am a little bit intrigued about the plot. How the protagonist will beat the Red Suns (as I trust he will do) in the follow-up volumes?Unfortunately the local library has only vol 1 available and I'm not intrigued enough to start hunting for vol 2 and beyond.Three stars.A note: ANNs informs to suit younger audiences. The opening act of a strangely compelling story about one seemingly unremarkable Japanese kid's gradual rise to greatness in the world of illegal street racing, and the friends and enemies he meets along the way.

Things unfold at a surprisingly glacial pace- this story is neither fast nor furious, but you eventually begin to get a real feel for the day to day lives of the main characters. Endless boring hours of sitting in class and pumping gas after school with no promise of better lives after graduation, these kids live for racing the nearby mountain pass on Saturday nights if only to have something to look forward to during the rest of the week. Instead of the usual bunch of swaggering streetwise tough-guys with dream cars, hot girlfriends and exciting danger-filled lives, the main characters are touchingly believable as dateless working class car geeks who obsess over technique because most of them can barely afford to even own a car, much less afford performance parts and custom paint jobs.
It becomes evident over time that Shigeno is slyly presenting most of the characters as personifications of the particular cars they drive, reflecting the various quirks of engineering in their personalities as they struggle with the all the usual rites of passage into adulthood. There are subtleties here that pay off with persistence, but this series definitely requires a lot of patience. I m a HUGE racing enthusiast. My favorite style of racing is drifing as it's the only style that I still have challenges with. I also love manga.
So when I found this delightful series, I just about died with joy.This is a sports manga series. It is about ninety five percent related to racing cars.

Now, moving on.Initial D is the BEST racing series I have ever read (quite possibly the only one in manga format). Windows 7 drivers. The characters are all very unique. Their personalities, their quirks and most importantly: their racing capabilities all differ from one another.
My absolute favorite feature of the story is the science. Not only does Initial D illustrate the various different techiniques and tricks, but it also gives you the science behind those techniques. It explains it with such fluidity that I was absolutely astounded. By far, this is one the best collections I have ever read. Period.This is volume one of thirty-three US released volumes. It is still on-going in Japan.
If you love racing then you have to read this series. You don't necessarily have to be a fan of manga, but I promise you won't be able to get enough of the technical stuff. I know that I can't. This book is about a dangerous mountain which young adults go to race and drift on. Behind the wheel of ae86 corolla is Takumi which is on his way to becoming king of the hill.The reason I like this book is because it’s all about cars and racing. I do wish they added a few more cars like don’t get me wrong I love me the ae86 corolla but I wish they added a Nissan 370z with work wheels. Like Takumi said “ I live my life a set of tires at a time, and for that mountain I’ll be free “.

Also the scene of the book when he drift on the edge of the mountain and almost dies and rolling over. And I can’t forget the part when he beats Yamay and gets the girl of his dreams for beating the DG(Drift God) of the mountain. The rating is for the whole series i.e 48 volumesInitially loved the series, the car racing theme was cool, the characters superb and the art while different still well suited for the theme.
But as the series progressed everything seemed repetitive, the races seemed endless. More story's away from track was needed. Still did end up reading the whole series - 720 chapters in a two weeks. For a fan of cars and racing, this may be a fun manga but rest should stay away.
