Bonus (Volume 04)

I have no material to write about is an bonus chapter of Initial D. It follows the cast deciding what the bonus chapter should be about.

Plot
Takumi decides that while his drift lessons (see Volume 02 and Volume 03) would be good for car lovers, they might not appeal to normal readers. He suggests they call it Bunta's Tofu Cooking Lesson, but Iketani points out that its unlikely the author knows anything about tofu. He suggests it be Itsuki's How to buy a good Eight-Five Lesson, much to Itsuki's annoyance. Keisuke suggests they call it the How to easily beat a GT-R Lesson, angering Nakazato, who suggests they make it about the history of the GT-R instead. Iketani interjects, saying that the lesson should be why Nissan shouldn't make their 1.8L cars into 2L. Itsuki tells Iketani that he'll like the next one, as he has no success with women. Natsuki shows up in her underwear, saying that she doesn't think the readers will mind a bit of fanservice. The guys celebrate, and ask for a How to flirt with girls Lesson.
