Can't believe it's almost here after soooo long. Does anyone know if the manga is almost at the end? or is there still much to go kinda like one piece?
Hopefully we will see the Toyota GT 86, fuck the scion frs the US always shit things up!!!
the Toyota 86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ are all essentially the same car(designed by Toyota, engineered by Subaru) and they're all good. the only real differences (aside from cosmetic body work and some of the interiors)is the factory tuning of suspension; from what I understand, the BRZ is set for under steer and consistent turn control (like a Subaru tends to be) and the 86/FR-S swings its tail out more with its over steer factory settings.
Yep the manga is almost finished now, the chapter is now about Takumi vs Shin, thr 13 year old kid. Sadly, Shuichi Shigeno is now becoming lazy to be as creative in choosing Shin's car by just giving him a plain AE86 sedan version :|
The manga is now translated until Chap 640 sumthing
I did a bit of googling
So the last (or one of the last) opponent for takumi is a boy younger than takumi who also owns an AE86? Idk doesn't that sound a bit anticlimatic? it kinda kills the purpose of tak/AE86 being young, talented and having an uncommon choice in car
