Holy shit guys, we finally don't have to read those garbage TokyoPop scans anymore.

Nice.

Oh god dammit. The scans look great, but it's still using the shitty TokyoPop translation with name localizations.

>Initial D with no eurobeat
What is the point?

It's a good series, that's why.

they should do like those old Christmas cards where there was this thing that activated a melody when you opened them

Those are TokyoPop scans

do I have to listen to eurobeat when reading the manga?

I realize that now. But it still looks much nicer than the previous scans we had.
Apparently from volume 33 onwards it's a new translation however.

The fan scanlations are garbage because the group couldn't even google FR and FWD but people still read them because they have the names right. This might actually be the most definitive release IniD is ever gonna get.

Are people who buy manga made of money?

GTO already has a good release now though, where've you been?

But "poetry in motion", that's beautiful. The translation is definitely enjoyable.

initial d certainly could've ended on various occasions.
but i'm guessing shigeno wanted to milk it as much as possible.

A bunch of characters where cut from the anime so probably. The main one I remember is Natsuki's black haired friend who was the daughter of the old guy she was fucking.

Lying whore. At least Stacy Sayuki is honest.

it's a good thing the takahashi brothers have both, then.

They have everything, Look-Money-Status + skills and confident. Too bad they only want the D

She's mostly honest though, Iketani was good enough.

Iketani was such a dumbass

Now if only the first season got a good remaster.

what a fucking slut, thanks to God Takumi btfo'd her

he didn't though

oh fucking hell, what about the
>Takumi I want to be with you
>well I don't

only the cars need a remaster, the rest is perfect

they end up hooking up though, eventually they breakup but that's only because natsuki goes to university in tokyo

Film needs a rescan.

Takumi deserved better anyways

I would love an Initial D Christmas card if it played this.

i can't believe i never heard this version before, thanks user

This. There was a blu-ray collection that came out that was obviously just a horrible-looking filter put over the DVD rip, at least in the case of 1st Stage. I hope they didn't get rid of the original masters altogether.

I really don't think there'd be much benefit from a BD, to be quite honest. It's not like First Stage had anything visually impressive about it.

For real the writer must have been seriously cucked

natsuki is truly a realistic female character though
you can read literally any other series for some bland idealized girl

Iketani and Itsuki both got cucked too

Iketani didn't.

How can one man be so based?

Spin-off of Bunta's younger years when?

He self cucked

Now I truly see.

I just realized those two 'girls' are just genderswapped Takumi and Itsuki.

He was in until the ex boyfriend showed up

They have a job.
