Initial D

You know a Manga is dragging on when you come to read the Comment section and not the Manga itself.

i dunno bout that. i mean hajime no ippo is great but it's felt dragged out since at least ch 600 or so. there is also detective conan, i mean that ones basically 800+ chapters of the same thing, and there is also almost no plot progess the first 400 chapters in it so~~~ you tell me what the record for dragging things out is.

This is probably record on dragging shit out for years, literally.

They are currently at ch710, a 10-page spread of no dialogue in which...

Also according to Wikipedia the manga is still ongoing in Japan but no American release since 2009.

Has the manga ended already and the scanlators are behind or is the manga actually this slow and the Anime having already past it. I mean with the last ep of Initial D anime, the race has finished already. With the next 2 eps, they will have the downhill race over already. I'm not sure if the anime team is going to be making things up from now or if they are following a proper storyline. 

The anime will overtake the manga. 
They're currently in the same spot. 
If you want to see this race end quicker and the story progress faster just watch the anime.

I last read this on the 5th of September, sounds like I'm not missing much.

Things should be picking up in due time. The manga is coming to an end as has been announced on Kodansha's Young Magazine and reported by various anime/manga news sites.

It's been overdue, to say the least.

I've long since lost track of the various relationships, but I do hope they can sqeeze in some American and European cars before the end.
