MF Ghost will take place in the year 202X in the same universe as Initial D. While self-driving cars have become the norm in the universe’s regular traffic, racers can still participate in manned car races called MFG.
The show will tell the story of Kanata Livington, an English-Japanese driver who graduated from a racing school in England and was trained by Initial D‘s protagonist Takumi Fujiwara. The series creator Shuichi Shigeno is still working on the MF Ghost manga, with the 13th tankobon volume coming out on January 6, 2022.
In a December 2021 live stream, Sega revealed the temporary inclusion of MF Ghost crossover content in Initial D The Arcade. Players of the arcade game can race against characters from the sequel, such as Kanata and Mikhail Beckenbauer. The limited event will run until February 16, 2022.
The anime adaptation of MF Ghost will begin airing on Japanese television in 2023.
