Nina hat sich in ihren Mitschüler Koga verliebt, dabei kennt sie ihn eigentlich gar nicht. Doch er willigt ein, mit ihr eine 'Beziehung auf Probe' zu führen. Nina ist glücklich, doch nun muss sie Koga erst einmal besser kennenlernen, und das ist irgendwie gar nicht so einfach..
Der erste Band dieser Manga-Reihe hat mir recht gut gefallen. Der Zeichenstil gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Story ist noch etwas oberflächlich, für einen ersten Band aber absolut okay. Ich glaube, das könnte eine ganz niedli

This week I finally went into a used book store that I pass on my commute and, oh my. Every hardcover is less than four dollars US, some paperbacks are less than a buck, and the manga. My goodness, the manga - full sets impeccably shelved, calling to me. And it was 10% off day.

Today I’ll be covering a very sweet story and even though there were no new chapters updated for more than a year, I still took it up to read and review. Mostly if I see tat the manga is not being updated for a long time I do not really start reading it, but I guess I’m still an optimistic person, who believed that one good translating team will take it up to translate it and will make at least me happy. Okay, enough with my expectation. Let me get back to the sto

I have always been curious about Japanese love confession. How does those kind of relationship works. If you somehow like someone after admiring from afar, you mustered up some courage and confessed. Voila, you got yourselves a partner. However, do you have a trial period to see whether you're compatible with each other? Let's face it, no matter how obsessive you stalk him/her, you wouldn't really know them.
In this volume, the girl did exactly as above and end up with someone who's probably out

Mi piace Maki Usami. Le sue storie non saranno dei capolavori però si lasciano leggere con gusto. E a volte, basta questo per apprezzare uno shojo.
La protagonista di questo manga è Nina, innamorata pazza del compagno Koga. Lei gli propone di stare insieme per prova, lui accetta e i due si ritrovano a fare coppia. Solo che Koga adora tormentare la povera Nina in tutti i modi possibili immaginabili.
I due personaggi sembrano molto simpatici, ma non so.. Mi sa che in futuro mi verrà da prendere Kog

Wangan Midnight (Japanese: 湾岸ミッドナイトHepburn: Wangan Middonaito) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Michiharu Kusunoki. It was first serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits since 1990, but was later serialized in Kodansha's Young Magazine, in which Initial D is also serialized. In 1999, it won the Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.[1] Years before Wangan Midnight was created, Michiharu Kusunoki worked on a similar series known as Shakotan Boogie.

The series has been adapted into several live action feature films, video games, and an anime television series. The anime began airing in Japan on June 8, 2007 on the anime satellite television network Animax, produced by OB Planning.[2]

The Wangan Midnight manga ended with volume 42 but has since been followed with a new arc called Wangan Midnight: C1 Runner (湾岸ミッドナイト C1ランナー) with another 12 volumes. It ended in July 2012.

Story[edit]

The story got its roots from street racing that occurs on Tokyo's Shuto ExpresswayBayshore Route. 'Wangan' (literally bayshore in Japanese) is the endonym of the longest, straightest road in the entire country.[4] There is also road traffic to contend with, including a fair number of heavy trucks. Because of this, the action is inherently hazardous, and wrecks are common. Blown engines are also a frequent hazard, especially with extremely high power engines.

One day, Akio Asakura, a high school student in his last year of study, is driving his Nissan Fairlady Z (Z31) on the Shuto Expressway when he challenges Tatsuya Shima, a doctor, in his black Porsche 964, dubbed the 'BlackBird'. With his friend in the passenger seat and two girls in the back, Akio attempts to win, but is defeated. Determined to drive a faster car, he goes to the junkyard because his mechanic friend tells him he saw the scrapped body of a S30 with good parts on it. When he sees the scrapped body of a midnight blue Fairlady Z (S30) in the junkyard, he remembers seeing this car a few years ago with a nice girl in the passenger seat. Intrigued as to why such a classic Japanese performance vehicle is about to be junked, he convinces the junkyard owner to sell it to him. The junkyard owner was told by the previous owner to scrap the car because it is cursed. He soon finds that the car is unnaturally fast due to its tuned L28 engine, bored and stroked to 3.1 L, fitted with triple carburetors and twin turbos. He also finds that one of the car's previous owners shares his first and last name, and had been killed in a horrible crash on the Wangan few years ago. Every person who takes possession of the Z ends up spinning out of control and crashing, as if the car is rebelling against its driver. This gives the blue Z the nickname 'The Devil Z'.

The manga follows Akio's various encounters with people who are obsessed to race The Devil Z on the Wangan, and his maniacal attempts to control the car, though the central plot revolves around his constant battle with the BlackBird for Wangan superiority.

The new story arc, Wangan Midnight C1 Runner, features the new adventures of the new main character, Shinji Ogishima (which debuted in the last chapters of the original story), and his friend, Nobu Setoguchi, both are part of 'GT Cars' project which is in dispute and conflict, and must settle these problems by driving Mazda RX-7s around Shuto Expressway, and meeting with Tatsuya Shima.

Characters[edit]

See also: List of Wangan Midnight characters
Akio Asakura (朝倉アキオAsakura Akio)
An ambitious racer who started when he was very young, Akio was in his final year of high school as the story began. He was driving his red Fairlady Z (Z31) until, after a humiliating loss to Tatsuya Shima, he discovered the 'Devil Z', a Nissan Fairlady Z (S30) which is supernaturally fast and extremely hard to drive. Akio is regarded as a legend on the Wangan, although he is a humble young man. Still, despite his gentle demeanor, he is so serious about racing that he skips school to the point of repeating a grade to drive the Devil Z. Akio has trouble forming intimate relationships, although he has made some slight inroads with Reina Akikawa. His day job is a waiter for a night club, but was later fired for showing up late too often due to late night racing. He is regularly exposed to the active social scene at the heart of Tokyo. He was already an accomplished racer with his old car, but behind the wheel of the Devil Z, Akio is nearly invincible. He is very adaptable and can learn to drive virtually anything.

Reina Akikawa (秋川零奈Akikawa Reina)
Reina is a very attractive model who also co-hosts a driving television show named 'Drive Go Go!' where the latest automotive trends are discussed. She finds Akio on the Wangan and becomes obsessed with him and the Devil Z, driving her to tune her car and even steal the Devil Z one night (but is stopped by Akio). After getting her Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) tuned and modified, she discovers a previously unknown aptitude for street racing, something that does not sit very well with her manager. She is very sociable, and has lots of acquaintances, but has no real friends. While she is an idol, she is quite modestly dressed. Like most of the women in the series, Reina is very sensitive and bursts into tears easily in some volumes and one episode of the anime, although she calms down considerably in later volumes. In the manga, her hair is curly, but in later volumes of the manga (and the anime), she only has straight hair.
Voiced by: Reiko Suhou
Tatsuya Shima (島達也Shima Tatsuya).
He is the main rival of Akio Asakura, as Akio is the only one who regularly gives him a challenge. He drives a Porsche 964, named 'BlackBird'. In the anime and manga, the car has 470 hp (350 kW) stock. Tatsuya becomes annoyed with Akio becoming faster all the time so he hires Jun Kitami, the man who built the Devil Z, to tune the Porsche. Kitami tunes the suspension and adds a second turbo and boosts the car to 700 hp (520 kW) and beyond to try to keep up with the Devil Z. He is an extraordinarily skilled driver and has only been in one wreck during the course of the anime. When as a result of deep thought he failed to notice drunkards on the road, only to swerve again to avoid a taxi and end up hitting a pole. He knows the limits of his vehicle and will never risk disaster by pushing it beyond its safe limits. This cost him a couple of battles, but he always learns from his failures and comes back even tougher. He is a very skilled surgeon and uses his large salary to fund his Porsche.

Media[edit]

Manga[edit]

  • Japanese Release – 42 Volumes (1990–2008)
  • C1 Runner Japanese Release – 12 Volumes (2008–2012)
  • Taiwanese release – 38 Volumes
  • Chuang Yi release – 42 Volumes
  • C1 Runner Chuang Yi release – 11 volumes (ongoing)

The first Wangan Midnight volume was released in Japan in 1990, and has never been translated into any other languages during its publication run, and the final volume was published in mid-2008. However, Taiwan-based Sharp Point Press has obtained license for translating the manga into Chinese, but this was stopped after volume 38 due to an expired license. There have been no announcements as to a new distributor in Taiwan for continuing or restarting the manga.

The C1 Runner arc started in 2008 shortly after the main story and ended in July 2012, thus ending the entire Wangan Midnight manga series.

In Singapore, the main Wangan Midnight manga, along with C1 Runner volumes, has been translated by Chuang Yi into English for Singaporean readers. However, despite being translated into English, the manga series was never popular as its rival, Initial D (which was translated into Chinese by the same company). Even the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune series and the PS3 game of the same name did not help improving the sales of the manga. Despite this, the C1 Runner arc is currently translated into English as well.

Movies[edit]

The series was adapted into a series of direct-to-video movies in 1994, 1997 and again in 2000. They accurately depict the manga, with the exception of Akio being in his thirties. Many Japanese viewers hold the films in high regard for their realistic portrayal of the racing with the cars having the speed they have in the manga.

Anime[edit]

At the 2007 Tokyo Anime Fair, OB Planning (Initial D) announced the production of an animated series based on the manga.[6] Aired on a pay-per-view channel of Animax in June 2007,[6] the series was co-produced by OB Planning, A.C.G.T., and Pastel under the direction of Tsuneo Tominaga and consists of twenty-six episodes. The series was released on DVD with the thirteenth volume reaching 29th on the Oricon sales chart for Japanese animation DVDs in November 2008. The Japanese opening theme for the series is 'Lights and Anymore' by TRF; the opening features clips of Akio's Devil Z, the 3 main characters of the show, and also features Akio's Devil Z racing against Shima's Blackbird. The closing theme is 'Talkin' Bout Good Days' by Mother Ninja. The animation is similar to that of Initial D Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage.[7]

Wangan Midnight: The Movie (2009)[edit]

Main article: Wangan Midnight: The Movie
Theatrical release poster.

On September 12, 2009, Jolly Roger and Geneon Universal Entertainment released a live-action adaptation of the manga. Wangan Midnight: The Movie is directed by the Atsushi Muroga, with the screenplay written by Yasutoshi Murakawa. The film stars Yuichi Nakamura as Akio Asakura, Ryoko Kobayashi as Eriko Asakura, Kazuki Kato as Tatsuya Shima, Rio Matsumoto as Reina Akikawa, and Masaki Sata as Kou-chan.[8] The film was shot in San Mateo, Rizal, Philippines, as a stand-in for the expressway racing scenes. Like the previous anime television series and video features, Wangan Midnight: The Movie centers on Akio Asakura's 'Devil Z' and the rivalry with Tatsuya Shima's 'Black Bird'.

Video game references to other media[edit]

In all Wangan Midnight games that are published by Bandai Namco, some vans trucks and cars have the Pac-Man character on it. Also, Pac-Man is used as one of the decals when you tune your car after the race. In Maximum Tune 4, a level features two 'Racer Wannabees' driving a Toyota AE86 and a yellow modified Mazda RX-7 which resemble Takumi Fujiwara's AE86 and Keisuke Takahashi's FD3S which both drivers in Maximum Tune 4 & 5 are the same impersonators of Keisuke and Takumi during the later Project D from Initial D Fifth Stage in the anime series.
