Emperor on the warpath!

From zero to legend in 60 seconds... Delivery boy Tak unexpectedly discovers that the skills he has acquired on the treacherous mountain roads of Mt. Akina have made him a street racing master. Urged on by friends and driving a rundown Toyota, he shames the best racers in town. But, Tak discovers there's more to life, and to himself, than he thought. Initial D is sure to ignite U.S. manga and import car fans.

Defender of the Crown With Tak’s winning streak cut short by Kyle Sudoh of Team Emperor, it’s up to Ry Takahashi to defend the honor of Gunma against the invading Lancer Evo squad. But even Ry admits that Kyle drives an unbeatable car. Out of the spotlight, Tak’s father installs a new engine in the Eight Six, however Tak’s mind is addled with images of Natalie and her older suitor. But where one romance grows bitter, another grows sweet. Iggy’s love life looks up when a girl from a neighboring prefecture catches his eye. And it just so happens that her brother drives a certain, very exciting car.

The spirit of the White Comet is as strong as ever, but can even the reinvigorated Ry Takahashi take down the Phantom Eight Six that, to this point, has remained unbeatable? The answer will change the face of Gunma racing forever. And if Tak does end up besting the best of Gunma, he’ll have to face the question posed by his best friend Iggy … “What’s next?” Any way you look at it, things are looking up for the Speed Stars, especially for their leader, Cole, who may yet fulfill his dream of meeting a woman with whom he can share his racing ambitions … even if she is a member of a rival team.
