From DMP:
Based on the phenomenally popular live action Japanese television series Ikebukuro West Gate Park is a very hip and urban drama that takes place in Tokyo's trendy district of Ikebukuro. The story focuses around the 21 year old Makoto, a cool and level headed member of the G-boys gang. Makoto, talented with diffusing tense situations and keeping his friends out of harm's way possibly stumbles into more than he can handle. Is Makoto really in over his head? His new girlfriend's just been found murdered and a turf war is escalating between two rival gangs.

The genre is urban shounen romcom crime/mystery drama. I bought this on an impulse, but was pleasantly surprised. The art is solidly good.
It has standard shounen elements: above-average but generic everyman protagonist with two friends, hot girls aplenty ('fiery promiscuous kogal', 'cute shy clingy/dependent MLI', milf etc), fair amount of fanservice. The humour is all very lowbrow and simple.
The tone is initially comical, but it gets quite dark by the last third, and the story is actually quite engaging. It does well despite being rather conventional.
My biggest complaint is that the secondary characters need much more development, especially Shun (the otaku), since they have potential. One nice aspect though is that the hero(es) are fairly likable, which isn't always the case in this genre.
This is just shounen, as it usually is; no frills. You know what to expect and know whether you'll like it.
