nerdyreferencelibrarian89 's review for:
Gangsta., Vol. 1
by Kohske
I read this on a whim, the cover and art style intrigued me.
The general premise is that these two friends work together as mercenaries for hire. One of them has enhanced abilities and is called a tag. The city they are in is crime ridden so there is no shortage of job opportunities.
It's a pretty basic concept.
This being only the first volume I only got the barest taste for where the series is going. But here are my thoughts:
The Good:
-The art style is crisp, easy to follow, and interesting to look at
-A main character who is Deaf and uses sign language
- A new person joins the group giving a chance for some explanation to slowly trickle into the story.
-The fights are cool
-Both main characters have distinct looks and personalities setting them apart.
-Hits some more mature themes, and sexual moments in ways that make sense, without being absurd chances for boob shots like some anime
The Bad:
-No idea where the story takes place, in a city... somewhere
-No firm challenge or central plot devices introduced to the story yet, this gives me less push to look for volume two.
Overall it was enjoyable. Interesting action, characters, and art style. I want to give volume 2 a try, to see if a central plot is introduced.
