Synopsis: Based on a seinen manga from Kusunoki Michiharu serialized in Young magazine.
The story receives its roots from real street races that occurs on the expressway of Tokyo de Tokyo, a stretch known as "Wangan", literally means "side of the bay" (although it is usually used to refer to the highway), the longest , straight road across the country. Obviously, there is also a lot of traffic to face, including a good number of heavy trucks. For this reason, the action is inherently dangerous and the wreckage is common. The blown engines are also a frequent risk, especially with extreme power engines.
One day, Akio Asakura, a third year of high school, is driving his Fairlady Z (Z31) and is challenged by Tatsuya Shima, a doctor, in his Porsche 964 Turbo (nicknamed "Blackbird"). With a friend on the passenger seat and two girls on her back, Akio tries to win, but is defeated. Determined to become faster, he goes to the iron -old to buy parts for his car, when he sees a Blue Midnight Z (S30), untouched and no watchman. Kinted, he buy it. He soon discovers that the car is unnatural due to an tuned, bored and caressed L28 engine at 3.1 liters combined with double turbos, which produces 620bHP. He also finds that all previous owners of the car had Unfortunate accidents, starting with the death of the first owner. The manga follows Akio's various meetings, although the central plot revolves around its constant battle with Blackbird by superiority.
