Memorable characters abound in all shades of gray, dangerous and violent jobs, and this group of people known as “Twilights” who have some special powers to them… From there, the story takes off and things start getting interesting. During which, they (well mostly Worick, since Nic just goes along with it) befriend Alex Benedetto, a prostitute, and have her come work for them and get her off the streets. One day, they’re given a job from Inspector Adkins to take out a new gang leader and his entire crew, since they have been expanding quickly and into mob family territories that are supposed to be protected. They’re both equally respected and feared for their capabilities, able to get done any job handed to them. They are Nicolas, a deaf and an extremely powerful swordsman, and Worick, a gigolo who’s easygoing but not afraid to put someone down, both of whom have shady pasts. However, there are jobs that none of these people want to do or be easily connected to, so they hire the special team known as the Handymen. The city is run by mob families, dangerous gangs, and other seedy folk. So, what did I end upgetting myself into? Was it worth my time? More importantly, is it good?Ĭrime has pretty much overrun the city of Ergastulum (country unknown, although it seems vaguely Italian). It helped that I had some extra spending cash on hand and the fact the book is part of the Viz Signature imprint, which rarely ever steers me wrong. I saw the book on the shelf, read the back of description and gave it a shot. by Kohske (yes, the book really has a period in its title). What does this have to do with anything? Well, that’s how I ended up reading Gangsta. If it sounds good, I may just randomly buy it.
I don’t have to have known anything about the series beforehand or even known that it existed (like Ghost Hunt or Higurashi). When it comes to manga, sometimes I buy certain series on a whim just because they sound good just from reading the description on the back.
