Synopsis of MF Ghost

While electric vehicles dominate everyday life in the 2020s, interest in traditional combustion cars is maintained through a motorsport series known as MFG. Hundreds of ambitious drivers, with a staggering 30 million online viewers, are fiercely vying for a spot in the Godly Fifteen – the top 15 racers – and the chance to win the 100 million yen grand prize. Among the contenders for the top is 19-year-old Kanata Rivington.

After attending a famous racing school in England, Kanata sets his sights on the upcoming MFG tournament and signs up for the competition under the alias "Kanata Katagiri". Compared to the flashy vehicles of his opponents, Kanata's Toyota 86 GT, inherited from a former MFG contestant, puts him at a considerable disadvantage. Kanata receives advice from a member of the Fifteen, but still considers the MFG as a springboard to his true goal: to find his father, from whom he is estranged. Meanwhile, Kanata's appearance causes a commotion, as his driving style eerily resembles that of a legendary racer.
