I haven’t heard of this series and would like to learn a bit about it without getting it ruined for me. Does anyone familiar know if the Wiki does a good job of it or does it spoil?

Snowflake should be hammered. The spoiler rules are clear. If he was contrite, that'd be okay, but loudly defending his own douchebaggery is ridiculous.

My friend at work basically says to never go to wiki for plot unless you want to avoid being spoiled. Basically it's just about people and how cars are a part of their life. There's some racing, but it's not the main emphasis the way it is in Initial D

Eh, kind of, but its more like a car-themed ghost story, if you ask me.

Takenoko basically got the idea. If you want to compare this Initial D, Wangan Midnight places a emphasis on characters and plot. There is a lot of racing in WM but it tends to focus on how racing affects peoples lives. Something that really drew me into reading it is that it tends to not focus on one character, but many at a time. Even though the lead character is included, many arcs in the series revolve a certain character.

Sadly there is no main group scanlating WM as of now. The WM manga is already over after over 10 years and a new series C1 runner has just started.
