MF Ghost takes place in a future where self-driving electric vehicles have become the standard. Despite this, there remains a passionate community of petrolheads and car enthusiasts who continue to favor traditional internal combustion engine cars.
The MFG circuit in Japan exclusively caters to races featuring cars with internal combustion engines. The narrative centers around Kanata Rivington, a Japanese-British racer and graduate of a prestigious racing school.
He moved to Japan with two goals in mind: to compete in the MFG races and to find his father who had gone missing. Moving into his mother's friend's house, he acquired a Toyota 86 GT. Despite the car's slower speed compared to other racers, he displayed remarkable skill and made it to the Top 15. He also received training from the renowned downhill racing specialist Takumi Fujiwara, who helped refine his racing abilities.
The teaser for the upcoming season two of MF Ghost was released on Sunday on Twitter and YouTube, confirming its debut in 2024. Keep an eye out for more anime and manga news as 2023 progresses.

The teaser video released on December 17, 2023, has left me eagerly anticipating the continuation of the captivating plot and adrenaline-fueled street racing action. The glimpse of Kanata Rivington's iconic Toyota 86 GT speeding down the road has only heightened my excitement for the upcoming season.
The first season of MF Ghost introduced us to a world where self-driving electric vehicles have become the norm, but a passionate community of petrolheads keeps the spirit of traditional internal combustion engine cars alive. Kanata's journey as a Japanese-British racer, competing in the MFG circuit and searching for his missing father, resonated deeply with me. His determination and skill behind the wheel, along with the guidance of the legendary Takumi Fujiwara, made him a compelling protagonist. I can't wait to see how his story unfolds in the upcoming season.
