 Avex Pictures opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Shuuichi Shigeno's MF Ghost manga on Tuesday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured) and teaser promo. The anime series is scheduled for a 2023 airing.Shigeno launched the car-themed sports manga in Weekly Young Magazine in September 2017, approximately four years after ending Initial D. MF Ghost takes place about 15 years following the events in Initial D. Kodansha published the 12th volume on September 6. The manga has a cumulative 3 million copies of its volumes in print. Synopsis Year 202X. Self-driving electric cars have replaced internal combustion engine-based cars, becoming ubiquitous in Japan. However, a racing circuit known as MFG, which employs traditional internal combustion cars, is garnering popularity worldwide. Kanata Livington, a 19-year-old Japanese-British racer, comes to Japan after graduating from a top racing school in the United Kingdom to take part in MFG and find his missing father, Ken Katagiri. Kanata moves to the home of his late mother's friends—Mr. and Mrs. Saionji—and enters the race under his father's surname, borrowing a Toyota 86 from Ogata, the couple's family friend. Despite the overwhelming disadvantages in specs, Kanata makes it to the top 15 while racing top-tier supercars, demonstrating his phenomenal skills. Takumi Fujiwara, the legendary downhill and rally racer, turns out to be Kanata's trainer. MFG employees who are familiar with Fujiwara and former racers from the same generation begin to notice Kanata. A new whirlwind is about to set off at MFG.

| interesting, I have heard about the manga but I never read it; hope this turns out well |
 |
| damn a sequel of Initial D huh instant watch then |
Fario-P said: deg said: i'd say more like spiritual successor than sequel since the MAL database page doesn't suggest the two are directly related other than creatordamn a sequel of Initial D huh instant watch then either way i wonder if we will get more Eurobeat music ah ok thats still cool and im a fan of standalone stories more ye im sure there will be lots of hype music again for this like Initial D have |
| Wow, i hope they'll put some good eurobeat like in Initial D ^^ |
 |
| Saw leaks earlier, but its nice to get some real confirmation now! Hoping it has eurobeat, and more importantly that it'd be worth watching; reading thru some discussions of the manga and it doesn't make me too hyped.. |
| Heard the Initial D manga is good so Imma give that a read and look forward to this one too |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| I didn't get the initial D vibe from watching the trailer, I think it won't be as good as the initial D. |
  |
| But will it have Eurobeat? That's the most important question of all, even if MF Ghost won't be ever as good as Initial D. |
 |
| Only in 2023? Why? KANLen09 said: But will it have Eurobeat? That's the most important question of all, even if MF Ghost won't be ever as good as Initial D. But what about cheesy 3D racing animations? |
 |
| Excited since it is coming from Initial D's author 😍 |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| Initial D was good but not sure about this. I'm gonna watch it anyway though. |
| Now that's a pleasant surprise. By all means, let's have it. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Hoping that this'll be good. |
 |
| An old buddy of mine used to always try to get me and a lot of our friends to watch Initial D, so for you Sarge, I'll check out this anime once it comes out lol |
| It's time for me to pick up Initial D again, at least I got till 2023 to complete it! I see a GT-R, I am freaking sold!! @Short_Circut Is it just me or did the song in the trailer sound a bit similar to the F1 theme? XD |

XD lol at first I was like wtf are you on about but then the second half kicked in and it really does sound like it lmao inb4 another Hamilton cameo but it's nice to see this time there's a more broad focus on cars rather than just JDM ala initial d. 488, huracan, evora, 4C not too shabby also tfw they decide to make an amalgamation of that shitty 2D from the movie and the 3d from the series. why not just stick with the goddamn 3D which was better anyways |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
Berry-Vodka said: Based on the synopsis there is one person from it that will be in this lol@CeddyyBearr heh is not a direct sequel, you will not see anyone for Initial D here ._. |
| If you've been thinking to get a GT-86, BR-Z or FR-S, now is the time. These days even a project car AE86 can easily go for 10 grand or more |
