Project Tsundoku - Manga Podcast

It’s summertime in the mountains of Japan. You’re prepping for your next downhill race and all of a sudden, a pair of headlights appear in the distance. These headlights are tracking you down like a famished mountain lion. You’re rolling in a top of the line R-X7, plus your skills are well known through the drift scene. There’s no way someone can overtake you. Here comes the first hairpin, you come into this corner hotter than a fresh flapjack. You can final see the car and the face of the beast flying up to your passenger side door. It’s a Toyota 86 and the driver seems to be....yawning? Before you can realize what is happening, a perfect inertia drift happens right before your eyes and you are left in dust wondering one thing - was that a ghost that just passed me?
