It's not even that. Initial D was a seinen romance series masquerading as a "battle shonen with cars". And romance was very much Shingeo's main focus. Even when Initial D moved away from it, he found a way to bring it back. Then later gave it more focus in MF Ghost.
If you check out his other work pre and post Initial D you can see the romance all throughout. Hell even Tunnel Nuketara SkyBlue which is the closest to Initial D (and can even be kind of considered prototype Initial D) is mostly about a love triangle.
