In the new manga, the fate of the young female driver Subaru Satō is set in motion when she meets the Initial D character Bunta. The story also follows Subaru Kudō, a young man who appears before MF Ghost characters Ogata and Aiba. (The names of the two Subarus have the same pronunciation, but are written with different kanji characters.) The announcement previews some s from the new manga which tease a possible connection between Subaru Satō and the Initial D character Mako Satō.
Shigeno launched his Initial D manga in Young Magazine in 1995 and films, the third of which opened in February 2016.
Shigeno releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
The author of Initial D has roared back onto the track with another hit! In a near future where cars have mostly switched over to sustainable power, combustion engine racing is a rarity. The MFG is the last major race for this dying breed, and half-Japanese Kanata Rivington has come back to try his luck. But that's not all he's come to Japan to do...he's searching for his father, too. Can even the ambitious Kanata accomplish all he's set out to do?
The first season of MF Ghost's anime adaptation premiere next year.
