Initial D #19

Shuichi Shigeno's street-racing saga continues in this 2012 Kazé Shōnen release, with Volume 19's cover presenting a close, contemplative portrait of a young man against a cool blue-grey backdrop — a quietly intense moment that captures the series' blend of youth, pressure, and determination. Initial D has always balanced high-speed mountain racing with the inner lives of its characters, and this cover's focused gaze suggests there's plenty of both ahead.
