" MF Ghost ," the successor to Shuichi Shigeno's popular manga "Initial D ," aired its final episode in the 12th issue of the serialized magazine "Young Magazine" (Kodansha), released on February 17, bringing the series to a close after about seven and a half years since its serialization began 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 races in a red 86. The appearance of characters from " Initial D ", such as Keisuke Takahashi and Hiroya Okuyama, also attracted attention.
It has also been adapted into a TV anime, with the first season airing from October to December 2023, and the second season from October to December 2024. The third season will be broadcast in 2026.
