Part 2: Not just ham, but heart-shaped ham While watching this set of episodes, I read that this arc was not in fact in the manga. Instead, these 13 episodes were made so that Takeuchi Naoko had time to finish up the next one. And you can kinda see that in the show.

Creators : Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart, Babs Tarr Publisher : Image Comics, Inc. Released : June 2017 Woo! Time to revive an old blog. And what better way to do it than with a review of an awesome comic. Motor Crush takes us to the city of Nova Honda, where motorcycle racing's the only game in town. Apart from the related gambling, of course. Be it legal, like the World Grand Prix, or not quite, like the gangs racing in the night, it's all controlled by the enigmatic Producers. The story follows Domino Swift, or Dom for short, as she works to compete in the World Grand Prix (WGP). During the day, she trains and tweaks her bike with her dad, a WGP champion from years gone by. During the night, she competes against the plentiful biker gangs of Nova Honda for a price of Crush, an illegal accelerant that causes bikes to get addicted to it and if overdosed, causes them to twist out of shape.
