The Manga is about a young 20-something female Manga Editor who just so happens to inherit a Ruby Stone Red (yeah it looks pink) Porsche 911RS from her father. Reina doesn't know much about cars much less how awesome of a car that the 911 RS is that she was gifted with.
Reina is a very well endowed young lady who spends time getting to know her new 911RS and grows to enjoy the car lifestyle and from what I've been able to read (17 chapters have been scanlated) has grown rather attached to the 911RS and enjoyment of driving it, but has a bit of bad luck sometimes with the car.
She seems to get in a few car races on the Wangan and even crashes the poor 911RS at one point. But she has also gotten a few extra friends out of her ordeals at the wheel of the 911RS as well. I am really enjoying the manga and while I think it would be a great thing to bring to America I just don't see anyone wanting to since it's not moe or the typical manga seller that the kiddies like.
However, I think now would be a great time for Japan to get a nicely done version out on Anime. I don't want some lame looking Initial D knock off were the car CGI is awesome but the character animation is just shit. No this needs to be awesome looking from the start. After all the artist who does this is also responsible for Silent Mobius just to name one Anime project that Asamiya Kia has worked on. And with the Loli and School girl fanservice ban going on this would be a great time to toss in some nice adult fanservice as I have to admit that this manga has a pretty healthy amount of bare breasts about. See it would be great to bring something like this out at a time like this. There hasn't been a good car related series out in a while and we can enjoy adult fanservice without worrying about it getting banned.
Since I got interested in it from that initial image I just had to look it up and found a few places were you can read it at but it seems that translation is pretty dead at the moment so the series is halted at the moment at Vol 2 chapter 17 with no outlook on any further releases that I can see. This kinda sucks as it's still being serialized in Weekly Playboy and has had 17 Vols of the Manga released in Japan. I might just have to track down some of the goodies though as there are some cars and figures as well as other stuff released for it.
