"Remember me? Relive Takumi Fujiwara's journey from tofu delivery boy to street-racing legend in an all-new, large-sized, 2-in-1 print edition of the series that made Japanese street racing into a worldwide phenomenon. Contains a new translation of Initial D Vol. 3-4. Is gripping truly king in racing? That is what Takeshi Nakazoto of the Myogi Night Kids wants to prove with his GT-R against Takumi Fujiwara's specially tuned Trueno Eight-Six. Mount Akina's downhill may not necessarily be that easy of a race, and an overpowered engine and inflated ego may turn a deadly corner. What's more, the racing scene is wondering if Takumi can replicate his drift skills on a run other than Mount Akina, while Takumi shows nascent signs of a racing obsession. This edition is still running in the '90s but features a refreshed translation and lettering for the 2020s, as well as a special large size."--Publisher.

"It is said that there are some special animals occasionally born with great powers. Senzou the black fox is one of those ... but instead of using his powers for good, he abused his strength until the Sun Goddess imprisoned him for his bad behavior. Three hundred years later, he's finally been released, but only on one condition-- he can't have any of his abilities back until he successfully helps a tanuki cub named Manpachi become an assistant to the gods. Unfortunately for Senzou, there's no cheating when it comes to completing his task! The magic beads around his neck make sure he can't wander too far from his charge or ignore his duties, and so ... Senzou the once-great Fox Spirit must figure out how to be an actually-great babysitter to a innocent little tanuki or risk being stuck without his powers forever!"--.

"Just when everything seems like smooth sailing for Senzou and Manpachi, trouble arrives on their doorstep. The ancient stone of destruction starts oozing miasma and as it does, some of Senzou's deeply buried past memories start to rise up--memories of 'another' Manpachi who seems to have been Senzou's first companion. But how can that be when Manpachi is here with Senzou and the others right now...?"--.
