Kodansha's Young Magazine serialized work — the latest title in the legendary street racing manga series by Shuichi Shigeno, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year — Subaru and Suisei (the sequel to Initial D and MF Ghost) releases its Volume 2 on Friday, March 6.

To commemorate this, the '#InitialDNeverEnds' Vol. 2 launch event will be held over two days — Saturday March 28 and Sunday March 29 — at Inari Bridge Plaza in front of Shibuya Stream.

The dream of becoming the fastest on public roads, pursued by Initial D protagonist Fujiwara Takumi, has been inherited by Subaru and Suisei's two protagonists: Sato Subaru and Kudo Suisei — two people both named 'Subaru.'

In celebration, a 'Soul Inheritance' display will feature Subaru's beloved car the BRZ (Subaru BRZ) alongside Takumi's beloved AE86 (Toyota AE86), parked side by side.

Additionally, a limited reprint of Initial D Volume 1 — 'the story where it all began' — will be distributed, limited to 2,000 copies.

Event Details:
- Venue: Inari Bridge Plaza in front of Shibuya Stream, 3-21-3 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (approx. 3 min walk from Shibuya Station)
- Dates: Saturday 3/28 14:00–19:00 / Sunday 3/29 11:00–17:30 (start times may vary slightly due to setup)

An X (Twitter) campaign will also be held during the event period for those who cannot attend in person. Post a memory related to Initial D, MF Ghost, or Subaru and Suisei along with the hashtag #InitialDNeverEnds for a chance to win one of 10 reprinted copies of Initial D Volume 1.
