STREET RACING/ INNOCENT PURE LOVE?

OLD 86-> NEW 86

Cars Engines ROOM ROOM ROOM ROOOOOOM, BURRRRR, SCREECH, ok this sums up what you are going to see most of the time. Lol

Minor Spoiler:
As a sequel to "Initial D", "MF Ghost" takes place when Takumi is a middle-aged uncle ;( Kanata, the apprentice of Takumi, decides to challenge the street racing culture in Japan. And of course, to spice things up, girls are included in this manga. I mean cars and girls are perfect combo... I think? ;)

Story: 7
...
Ok, lets think about this. Why do we love Initial D? Because we love the imagination of drift and speed on the mountain roads. While seeing those cars driving through pages and pages, we get to imagine the sound of those cars and hope that Takumi can win the seemingly "impossible" to win races. MF Ghost is kinda like the same thing. Do you believe 86 can beat Lambo or Ferrari? like seriously... how is that even fair? This is a simple story, so that is why I give it a 7.
The Progress will definitely be SLOW, just like that of Initial D (pretty much expected).
This manga ISN'T BORING at all (because the intention for me to read is to enjoy the feeling of racing in the mountains). If you are seeking a manga that can enlighten you with deep thoughts, I don't think this is the right manga xD
Is it easy to guess? Reading up until chapter 32 so far, the result is actually NOT EASY TO PREDICT. If the author is actually going to let 86 beat Ferrari in the first race, I will seriously gonna burst out laughing for the story planning. But, it isn't going to happen now (for the first race at least... I think... :x )


Art: 10

The details for the cars and the environment are awesome. I am glad that the Mangaka is able to maintain his strength.Judging on the characters, I mean... this is manga (art pieces combine together)... and it is true that the characters do look "prehistoric"; however, I don't really mind about it at all. Every Mangaka has his/her own style and I don't think the characters look "unnatural" or "outdated". If you love Initial D, I wouldn't want to make the characters in the sequel look way too different from that of the art style of Initial D; otherwise, it will be strange...
So far, I am pretty satisfied with the art of MF Ghost using the standard of Initial D. I love the effort Shuuichi San puts the effort into drawing those cars <3 thank you.


Character: 7 (only humans) --> 10 (if include the cars) :DDDDD

Characters can be a tricky category. This manga like "Initial D" makes me feel that the cars are also the main characters too. Since this is the case, the rating can vary.
Since this is about a street racing manga, the human characters shouldn't be
too intricated to understand. It should be straightforward. For example, Kanata (the student of Takumi) should be really really good. Ren (a racing showgirl and a friend of Kanata) will "accidentally" have a crush on Kanata. Nothing to special. So a 7 is a good rating :)


Enjoyment: 10

To enjoy, you need to have patience... like seriously... why can't there be 10 Shuuichi San drawing at the same time... ;(

Ok, since I have the experience with Initial D, I always wait it out and enjoy MF Ghost when they have 5 new chapters. Then, of course, I binged read them and wonder when the **** will there be another 5 chapters again. The reason I wait for around 5 chapters each time is because the story is indeed slow (races are spanned acrosee more than 20-40 chapters for sure) and watching 5 chapters at a time is the best way for me to enjoy MF Ghost with the understanding of what is going on .


Overall: 9 or 10

Initial D is better? This question is really silly. There are 724 chapters in Initial D and it is "Completed". On the other hand, MF Ghost is still around chapter 40 so far and it is still "Ongoing". If you don't have the patience for waiting. Binged reading "Initial D" is of course better.
I sincerely believe that "MF Ghost" does have the ability to match up to the quality and content of "Initial D". So due to the unpredictability, 9 or 10 is the score, will give it a 10 for faith xD



Using the iPhone XS and the first ever iPhone comparison, you can treat iPhone XS as "MF Ghost" and the first iPhone as Initial D. iPhone XS have better graphics, camera, and technology. iPhone (revolutionary) is indeed outdated in terms of the processors and things like that. Yet, the fundamental focus of these two phones are the same, you can use them for telephone and take pictures. Just like that of "MF Ghost" and "Initial D", cars and the thrill for speed on the mountain speed is what audience are seeking for. :))))

This will be my first review so forgive me if its bad.

As a fan of Initial D this caught my eye for a while but i decided to give it a read as my 2nd ever manga im actually commited to.

The story could use alot more improvement but i see a lot of potential for each character. It is also nice to hear about an old friend from back in the days and what happened to him.

Art on the cars and environment is amazing but the characters sometimes look really off and derpy so to say.

The story also takes an interesting concept of something that ... might happen one day with electric cars being produced and manufacturers like Tesla already making self driving cars the plot/story revolves around the fact that cars that run on fossil fuel might die out completly one day.

Honestly i enjoyed the story alot it brought back alot of the Initial D vibes and has gives me something interesting to do while im in school waiting for my next class to start. Mosty of the time theres always action going on so it keeps you interested.

Overall ill give this a 10 for now since im really hooked to the story so far and im looking forward to future chapters.
