MF Ghost:"Initial D" successor to be completed with "six episodes remaining" - ending 7.5-year serialization

It has been revealed that " MF Ghost ," the successor to Shuichi Shigeno's popular manga "Initial D ," will conclude with "six remaining chapters." The final chapter will be in the 12th issue of the serialized magazine "Young Magazine" (Kodansha), which will be released on February 17, bringing the series to a close after about seven and a half years since its start in September 2017.

" MF Ghost" began serialization in "Young Magazine" in September 2017. It is Shigeno's first automobile-themed manga in about four years since "Initial D," which was serialized from 1995 to 2013. Set in Japan in the year 202X, where self-driving cars have become widespread, the story follows Kanata Katagiri, who graduated from a racing school in the UK, as he takes part in races to achieve a certain goal, while the MFG car races on public roads are gaining popularity around the world.

Kanata is a student of Takumi Fujiwara , the main character of " Initial D ", and takes on the race in a red 86. The appearance of characters from " Initial D ", such as Keisuke Takahashi and Hiroya Okuyama, has also been a hot topic.

It was also made into a TV anime, with the first season airing from October to December 2023 and the second season from October to December 2024. It has also been announced that a third season will be produced.

To commemorate the completion of the series, Young Magazine's website, Young Magazine Web, will be running a countdown campaign that will allow readers to read the series for free from January 10th until just before the final chapter.
