His rivals are also strengthening their forces, and Emma is busy preparing in her Vantage. As qualifying begins, Sawatari's modified A110 takes the lead and immediately sets a new course record. No one else manages to beat that time, and the race comes to a close. Meanwhile, Koi hears that Kanata will be leaving Japan at the end of this season.

"MF Ghost" was serialized in "Young Magazine" (Kodansha) from September 2017 to February 2025. Set in Japan in the year 202X, where self-driving cars have become widespread, the MFG car race on public roads is gaining popularity around the world.
