Where it came from
F was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday between 1986 and 1992, emerging during a period of intense interest in motor racing within Japanese popular culture. Written and illustrated by Noboru Rokuda, the series follows the journey of Akio Oishi, a young man from a poverty-stricken background who aspires to become a professional Formula One driver. The narrative is noted for its gritty, often psychological approach to the high-stakes world of racing, distinguishing it from more lighthearted sports manga of the era.
Rokuda’s artistic style in F is characterized by raw, expressive line work that captures both the technical intricacies of vintage F1 machinery and the emotional turbulence of its protagonist. The series gained significant acclaim, earning the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1991. It remains a cult classic among enthusiasts for its uncompromising depiction of the professional racing circuit and its character-driven exploration of obsession and ambition.
