This took about 15 min to read, so I think I'm going to hold off on reading more of it (currently 2 volumes are out) until several more volumes have been released.

Actaul Rating: 3.8/5
This is the story about
a young mobster named Marco and
his shattered childhood as the Nortious Destroyer
Spas.
Blood, guts a younger Nic and Worrick. This volume had everything.
The Artwork was decent and I could tell that while Kamo did a great job copying Kosuke's artwork that was still minute details that I could see that differentiated the styles.

More like 4,5 stars!
This is so graphic and brutal and gut-wrecking and I couldn't stop reading it until the end.
The title "Cursed" is very fitting.
I was pleasantly surprised by the plot and the focus of the story. This volume is very intense and action-packed.
What made the volume 4,5 stars is the point of view from hate-group, a very violent and agressive hate group that consists of trained killers ( a member of that hate group, young and mislead yet a boy). It's so easy to get down the road of "sympathizing" to villains in fiction. This is not the case at all! With every page their bullshit beliefs were destroyed and presented as what they are. ( I mean it is Kohske's story, I didn't expect anything less tbh).
Spas slowly got rid of the smoke that covered his mind and polluted his thoughts. And it was beautifullly made. In this violent murderous way that is fitting to the story.
The art! I must admit I'm not a big fan of mangas and the main reason for this is because art isn't usual breathtakingly beautiful. I know many manga authors publish an issue per week and it's a tremendous job to do, I realize this, but still. Artwork is the second most important thing for me in graphic novels (after plot&characters), this artwork is detailed and brilliant and it's truly the best drawn manga i've ever read. I love it okay?okay.
Special shout out for baby Worick and Nicolas, and Connie...baby Connie
All in all, Gangsta: Cursed.:Ep_Marco Adriano is a must read for fans of original Gangsta series and for those who love action-packed, intense, brutal story with strong political undertones and incredible artwork.
I'm looking forward to reading vol.2.
