Manga with exceptionally good artwork, not something that's the same boring black and white generic faces/body types. But instead manga that takes its artwork seriously, the artist knows how to create a scene, give each character unique appearances.

The manga itself may or may not revolve around vehicles, but they contain vehicles (cars, bikes/bicycles, trains, motorcycles, airplanes, mopeds, etc.) on the cover. This is here to help anyone who wants to check this off for the MRC 2024/2025.
