The author of "Initial D" is in poor health and the new work "MF GHOST" is suspended

The Japanese manga artist Shuichi Shigeno, the author of "Initial D", is 64 years old this year. According to foreign media reports, he has gone to recuperate due to poor health. The serialization of his new work "MF GHOST" has been urgently suspended, and it is not yet determined when it will resume.

•"MF Ghost" is a racing-themed manga created by Japanese manga artist Shuichi Shigeno. It is set in the same world as Initial D and is set more than 20 years after the end of Plan D. Several characters from Initial D have already appeared in the manga.

The subtitle "New Road Speed ​​Legend" corresponds to the "Road Speed ​​Legend" of Initial D. The protagonist uses an underpowered car called 86. These settings are very similar to Initial D. The difference is that the competition is no longer a midnight mountain road race between private individuals, but has turned into a formal sports event. The participating cars are no longer pure Japanese cars in the Initial D era. A large number of European brands such as Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, etc. have been added to the story.
