Synopsis
Anime sequel to 1987 live-action film: girl gangs race and steal cars in gritty 1985 manga adaptation.
It's girls, gangs, and cars in this adaptation of the 1985 manga in Young Magazine, by Lullaby for Wednesday's Cinderella-creator Michiharu Kusunoki. Local punks steal cars, switch the plates, and sell them, but not without racing them for a while against rival gangs. The anime continues the story where the 1987 live-action movie starring Kazuya Kimura left off. (Source: The Anime Encyclopedia)
