Jiro Kanzaki is an F3000 driver blessed with acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. He's a daredevil who feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers dare not attempt. But unexpected trouble forces this racer to leave his team and return to Japan for the first time in years. Until he finds a new job as a racer, Jiro decides to stay with his family. What awaits Jiro there is his hardheaded father, his nagging sister, the 12 children of the foster home his father runs, a snobbish male teacher, and a stubborn female teacher who likes to daydream about her life.

Well,the whole idea of helping kids deal with their problems and whatnot is the same. They are also both lighthearted and serious at the same time. If u enjoyed one, you will definitely enjoy the other.

Although Engine's story and character development are not as deep as those in GOLD I thought they had similarities in the plot and the core idea the story is built on gives a familiar feeling. They are both very satisfying and entertaining with strong emotional ties within.

Though the setting might be different, but it conveys the same "the place where I belong feel".
