Mysterious end to the chapter, what does it mean!? Find out in the next chapter.

And thus starts a new volume.

This takes the "knowing your competitor(s)" to yet another level... Tatsuya Shima is level headed and a fair...

Idk if it's drwawing or style of writting a plot, but damn it gives old school vibes especially good in this arc, I wonder why.
Thanks for translations!

I think it's a combination of the background art and the cars (and of course the drawing style). For example, on page 18, you can hardly find a skyline that unobstructed in Tokyo in the 21st century (the plot is in the 90s right now, I think). The cars are very 80s-90s, in the previous chapter there was a Mercedes Benz W124 ('84-'95), in this chapter there's a BMW E30 ('82-'94), and of course the R32 ('89-'94), Supra ('93-'02), and the Z.

You're seeing these cars at their peak, at this (perhaps over-romanticized, but still) golden age of street racing/car culture, where the technology is at its peak and the government hasn't imposed on the illegality of this culture much yet. This is a story about these legends, and their tales shall be forever be told.

I wonder what he's trying to say there
