As electric cars become the norm in the 2020s, fascination with piston‑powered vehicles survives through a racing series called the MFG today. Hundreds of determined racers, drawing a staggering 30 million online viewers, battle fiercely for a place in the Godly Fifteen—the elite fifteen drivers—and a shot at the 100‑million‑yen grand prize in the spotlight. Among those chasing glory is the 19‑year‑old Kanata Rivington, a star in the racing world. After training at a renowned British racing academy, Kanata entered the forthcoming MFG contest under the pseudonym 'Kanata Katagiri' for the first time. Unlike his rivals' showy machines, Kanata drives a Toyota 86 GT inherited from a former MFG competitor, putting him at a marked disadvantage in the competitive arena. He receives mentorship from a Godly Fifteen driver, yet regards the MFG merely as a stepping stone toward his real aim: finding his estranged father for years. At the same time, Kanata's look and driving flair shock the arena, echoing the style of a once‑fabled champion.
