Initial D #20

Shuichi Shigeno's high-octane street-racing manga rolls on with this 2012 Kazé release, its cover placing a cool-eyed young driver front and center alongside the legendary white-and-black Toyota AE86 Trueno that has defined the series. The moody, smoke-tinged backdrop gives the composition a tense, cinematic feel that captures exactly what fans love about Initial D's blend of character drama and mountain-road rivalry. Volume 20 of Season 2 is a solid pick for anyone already swept up in the battle for touge supremacy.
