Official Descriptions[]

English[]

"The street racing scene in Gunma Prefecture is fierce, sporting some of the best racers in all of Japan. The winds of change have started to blow as Tak and his Eight-Six go head to head against Ryosuke 'Ry' Takahashi and his Mazda RX-7. Can Tak defeat the best racer in Gunma Prefecture or will the Red Suns conquer Akina on their way to glory?"

―Tokyopop^[2]

"The spirit of the White Comet is as strong as ever, but can even the reinvigorated Ry Takahashi take down the Phantom Eight Six that, to this point, has remained unbeatable? The answer will change the face of Gunma racing forever. And if Tak does end up besting the best of Gunma, he’ll have to face the question posed by his best friend Iggy … “What’s next?” Any way you look at it, things are looking up for the Speed Stars, especially for their leader, Cole, who may yet fulfill his dream of meeting a woman with whom he can share his racing ambitions … even if she is a member of a rival team."

―Kodansha USA^[3]

French[]

"Le duel historique va enfin avoir lieu. Takumi, l'as de la descente du Mont Akina va affronter le plus célèbre coureur de la région, Ryosuke Takahashi, invaincu à ce jour. L'un des deux va devoir descendre de son pied d'estale, et si Takumi est le premier à penser qu'il n'a pas ce qu'il faut, Ryosuke, quant à lui, voit en son adversaire un génie qui s'ignore."
