Idc what everyone else says I actually really like this! The ML is a little possessive but the college setting and the overall fact he’s still young softens the blow a bit. Like the MC is his first crush, cut him some slack yk? I love the trope where the ML is head over heels and the MC is oblivious, so this is very much my cup of tea! I also like their dynamic sm like they’re alrdy so domestic without dating JUST FALL IN LOVE ALRDY ALANSKSJS
Am I the only one who thinks the romance in this is so stale and boring… WHERE IS THE CHEMISTRY

On par with Initial D in terms of racing action imo. This is a ducking masterpiece. Maybe it's because it's an older manga that it isn’t talked about a lot, but I really think this should be in the spotlight some more! The storytelling is absolutely riveting, and you can't help but fall in love with each of the characters and especially the rivalry between MC Taira and childhood friend Minamoto. I love how this manga also goes into the technicalities of racing, so it feels like the main characters are actually racing on Formula race tracks and strategizing legitimately to compete. It actually feels plausible! The art is, of course, fabulous, but like I said before, I think the storytelling is just super well done. (i'm running out of extreme positive adjectives). You can feel the character's emotions, and they don't feel contrived at all. Masahito truly captures all of their complexities and little quirks that make them jump off the page almost, and he just knows how to write an exciting story. Like look at all his other works; Dance, Subaru! and it's own sequel are also top tier. The racing is so exhilarating as a reader, which is exactly what I look for in a sports manga. This ticks all my boxes, so if you're into sports manga or just want something great to read, please, please, PLEASE read this. This was worth every moment of my time, and I'm sad it's over…
