Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! (also known in Chinese as Sìqū Xiōngdì) is a mini 4WD racing manga by Japanese manga artist Tetsuhiro Koshita, serialized in Shogakukan's children's manga magazine CoroCoro Comic starting in 1994; the Taiwanese Chinese edition was published by Ching Win Publishing. The story centers on the brothers Retsu and Go Seiba, whose personalities could hardly be more different: older brother Retsu is calm and steady, racing with a balanced, endurance-oriented style, while younger brother Go is hot-blooded and impulsive, obsessed with straight-line speed. The two receive the Magnum from mini 4WD researcher Dr. Tsuchiya and, through tuning, adjustments, and race after race, cross swords with all manner of formidable rivals, including opponents who excel at cornering, racers who use attack-type machines, and the corps of destructive racing cars cultivated by Dr. Okita. Blending toy racing, friendship, the will to win, and coming-of-age, the series is one of the childhood icons that swept across Asia in the 1990s and spawned a long-running TV anime and countless merchandise. This volume is the second in the series, continuing the brothers' main storyline from their beginnings to facing powerful foes; for specific plot details, please refer to the physical book.Editor's review
这是一部“玩具广告漫”却意外成为一代人童年神作的作品。越田哲弘此前已凭《炎之斗球儿弹平》拿下小学馆漫画赏儿童向部门大奖，转到《快乐龙》后，他把迷你四驱车这个当时热度回落的玩具，重新写成了热血竞技的舞台。魅力不在复杂设定，而在人物：弟弟豪莽撞、一味追求速度而翻车，哥哥烈嘴上吐槽、背后却永远托底；对手也少有纯粹的坏人，每台赛车背后都对应着一个少年的性格与执念。青文版是华语世界流传最广的中文版本，开本小巧、定价亲民，封面与译名保留了浓厚的九十年代气息。对经历过“奥迪双钻”年代、蹲在地上装零件的读者来说，翻它就是翻自己的童年；对新一代读者，则是理解日本“玩具联动漫画”如何运作的绝佳样本。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 八十、九十年代成长、玩过迷你四驱车的怀旧读者
- 喜欢少年热血竞技漫画与成长题材的读者
- 想了解日本玩具联动型儿童漫画运作方式的研究者与爱好者
- 正在收集青文版老漫画、关注实体书收藏的读者
Not a good fit for
- 偏好成人向、复杂叙事或严肃文学漫画的读者
- 不习惯少年向夸张必杀技与竞技套路设定的读者
- 只追动画版、对漫画原作不感兴趣的观众
Reading tips
- 建议从第 1 册读起，系列剧情连续，单册跳读容易缺少人物铺垫
- 留意漫画与动画的差异：动画大量原创扩写，漫画原作篇幅更短、节奏更快
- 阅读时可对照迷你四驱车的真实改装知识（马达、齿轮、底盘）体会细节趣味
- 作为收藏，可留意青文版的版次与书况，老书纸黄属正常现象

FAQ
这本是《四驱兄弟》全集吗？
不是。本册只是青文版《爆走兄弟 Let's & Go!!》系列中的第 2 册，正传共 13 册，之后另有续篇《爆走兄弟 MAX》7 册。漫画和动画《四驱兄弟》内容一样吗？
不完全一样。动画版增加了大量原创剧情与设定（如 WGP 世界杯篇的扩充），而漫画原作篇幅更短，也有不少动画中未出现的故事。青文版的全名和译名分别是什么？
台版正式译名为《爆走兄弟 Let's & Go!!》，香港译作《四驱兄弟》，大陆读者更熟悉《四驱兄弟》这个叫法。这套书还容易买到吗？
青文版首刷约在 1996 至 1999 年间出版，已绝版多年，全套收齐不易，二手书况差异较大，购买时建议仔细确认版本与品相。This site is an index: you start “Search all sources” in your browser, and the entries it lists all point to third-party sites; please judge their availability yourself.
