Volume 2 of "Subaru and Comet," the latest work following the legendary street racing manga "Initial D"—which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year—and its sequel "MF Ghost," both created by Shuichi Shigeno and serialized in Kodansha's "Young Magazine," will be released on Friday, March 6th.
To commemorate this, the "Subaru and Comet" Volume 2 release event, "#InitialDNeverEnds," will be held for two days on Saturday, March 28th, and Sunday, March 29th, at the Inaribashi Square in front of Shibuya Stream.
The dream of becoming the fastest on public roads, pursued by "Initial D" protagonist Takumi Fujiwara, has been passed down to the two "Subarus" of "Subaru and Comet": protagonists Subaru Sato and Subaru Kudo.
To mark this, we will hold a "Succession of Souls" exhibition featuring Subaru's car from "Subaru and Comet," the "BRZ" (Subaru BRZ), displayed alongside Takumi's car, the "Hachi-Roku" (Toyota AE86).
Furthermore, we will be distributing 2,000 limited-edition copies of the "phantom reprint of Volume 1" of "Initial D," the story where it all began.
