Mach GoGoGo is pretty fun. This is your classic short manga from the 60's. With only 10 chapters, you can read it in about an hour or two.

While the plot wasn't terrible and the story was interesting, Mach GoGoGo features one of the most egregious moments of reusing manga/plot that I've ever read before in a manga, with the exact same panels, locations, and lines being reused for two different chapters. It was so bad that I thought my scan was messed up and I was reading an earlier part again.

Other than that, it was pretty entertaining. For just being a racecar driver Speed Racer/Gou ... Mifune is an absolute hand-to-hand combat menace - he regularly beats the hell out of armed adults and shoots guns out of peoples hands. Definitely would recommend reading, whether you're into old manga, or just a fan of modern "Speed Racer" media.

It's old, it's short, and it's got quite a few blatant flaws, but at the end of the day, it's Speed Racer, goddammit!
