The Passion of the Ig (イツキくんて強引だよォ, Itsuki-kun te Gōin Dayō, "Itsuki-kun, You're Pushy") is the three hundred and twenty-sixth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Takumi thinks about his driving, and how he used to think he was giving it his all. He now realises that he was only giving it about 50%. He believes that the Eight-Six can get him to 100%, but that if he can't get there he isn't good enough for Project D.
Itsuki finishes replacing his tire, and notices that Kazumi is asleep in the car. He thinks that she is only pretending to sleep so that he will try and kiss her, and so he leans in to kiss her. The feeling of his breath against her lips wakes her up just as he kisses her, and she is left shocked.
The next day at the gas station, Itsuki brags to Iketani and Kenji about kissing Kazumi, leaving out how she had been asleep at the time. Kenji congratulates him on having his first kiss before Iketani. Itsuki misleads the pair, telling them that she had made the first move. Takumi pulls up in the Eight-Six, and Itsuki asks him to hang out.
Takumi is surprised to hear that Itsuki kissed Kazumi on the second date. Takumi is surprised, as he had thought that he would come on too strong and scare her off. He tells him that he's happy for him.
