Where it came from
Wangan Midnight originated as a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Michiharu Kusunoki, first serialized in 1990. The narrative centers on the illegal street racing scene along the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo, specifically the Wangan route. It focuses on the protagonist, Akio Asakura, and his deep obsession with a modified 1970s Datsun Fairlady Z, famously nicknamed the Devil Z, which is known for its incredible speed and its history of fatal accidents.
Kusunoki's work is celebrated for its technical focus on automotive mechanics and the psychological intensity of the characters who risk everything for the perfect drive. Unlike many contemporary racing series, the manga emphasizes the mechanical spirit of cars and the philosophical tension between man and machine. The series gained significant acclaim for its atmospheric depiction of Tokyo at night and was subsequently adapted into numerous anime, film, and highly influential arcade game iterations.
