Me, Retire? Forget It! (引退なんかしないもん!!, Intai Nanka Shinai Mon!!, "I'm not retiring!!") is the sixty-second chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Takumi narrowly avoids colliding with the spinning SilEighty, and comes to a stop just after them. Mako and Sayuki admit defeat, and Mako tells her that she felt like she did when they first started racing. Sayuki tells her that she had given her best performance right up until the last turn, and that she'll support her in whatever she wants to do next.
The two cars return to the start line, and the SpeedStars wait to hear bad news. However, they're shocked to hear that Takumi had won.
The group go and get drinks, and Takumi modestly says that all he did was keep up with them. Sayuki tells him that he's got skill, especially considering that he hadn't driven the pass before. Sayuki checks Takumi out.
The next day, the group heads to a water park. Sayuki, Takumi, Itsuki and Kenji spend time in the water, while Iketani and Mako talk by the side of the pool. Mako thanks him for setting up the race with Takumi, and tells him that she doesn't intend to quit racing anymore. She apologises to Iketani about before, and tells him that she hadn't intended for it to seem like part of a deal. She once again tells him that she wants to spend the night with him.
