Moreover, he followed closely behind the fastest kart on the track and nearly left it behind. The driver in the kart was Minamoto Naomi, the champion of the East Japan Junior Kart. Watching their chase, Naomi's mother, Minamoto Nanako, advised Capeta to take part in the official race.

This manga is so good.
Thank you people of the internet who translated this award winning piece of work
If i had to compare it to another manga, that would be BLUE LOCK, as the main focus of those mangas are the egos of the characters, they are not all "Friendship=power" they are like, this is all about me and if we fail, it will be on me.
Do you not read sports manga, like at all, because of all the generic friendship=power and that how we win. This manga is not that, this manga shows the Mc attempts to win his races
Ps there are couples that took me by surpirse
Ok so
One thing i disliked about this manga is they legit feel like near the end, they forget characters and only bring them back in for only a couple of pages, and then there is some progress between the relationships between certain characters that you do not see, so when its revealed to you that a relationship between two characters actually happened, it feels odd

naomi x monami

like its extremely weird tbh, they are dating, but doesnt she have some anger issues, like even as they are older, she still gets angry, and in the beggining she hated naomi, but then only after capeta tells her to message him cause they are bf and gf, does she just email, for a couple, you would expect them to be regularaly emailing each other. Btw chapter 97 and 99 confimr these things, so if people want to update the characters, then these are the chapters which have this info
Ok so
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
chapter 107-108 i swear to god, if they use monami saying she wants Naomi to win as one of the factors which makes naomi win, imma lose it

LETS GOO CAPETA WON, FINALLY. the end was sweet, everyone got their happy end except nobu

Overall, I'm impressed. The ending was satisfying. It's just the story didn't go on as long as I thought it would. I thought that (MAJOR spoiler)
I hope there's a sequel.

it would end with Capeta at least participating in the F1 races but it just ends after he gets scouted to participate in the European F3 after winning the Macau Grand Prix. I guess the ultimate goal for Capeta was just to win against Minamoto Naomi.
I hope there's a sequel.

If I'm trapped on an island and this series isn't with me, then be damned because I'll be swimming.
@Crazy_Horse9876: I appreciate the work that you and the rest of Deadbeat put into this series and the results look phenomenal.

Well, actually, it was decided to skip those volumes because they were adapted in the anime, which means they were already covered. Watch the anime and pick up where it left off. Those volumes will come eventually, I think, but these later ones take priority. The later volumes are part of a joint project and I typeset the series for Deadbeat. We may try to scan all the previous volumes, though.

I loved the Anime , but was so disappointed when I realized no one was scanlating it. well apperantly there are people dooing it But not constantly I don't know why .. I would gladly even help out on working with the team that decides to scanlate it .. if I knew how to read Japanese I'd do it myself .. actually I'll be honest I'd prob just laugh at all you guys for not knowing japanese , and go about reading it..
