This manga is extremely well written. I enjoy reading it and cannot wait for the next release. I suggest it to people who like action genre. The story is incredible. I have heard some people say its like dogs bullets and carnage. I personally like the way this story is progressing more.

	Dogs fans will love it
	Rating: N/A by showraniy July 9th, 2012, 4:26pm
I'm only seven chapters in, but this story so far is beautiful (art), engaging, and makes use of very interesting characters with interesting dynamics between them (for example, watching Alex try to interact with Nic, who is deaf and uses sign language to communicate, is extremely heartwarming). The only thing that's got me confused is how extremely similar it is to another manga I've loved for years, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage. Nic and Worrick are basically carbon copies of Heine and Badou, right down to the fear/avoidance of women and eyepatch respectively. Even the reason Heine and Nic avoid women appears to be the same. It's really a weird thing to watch since I suspend my disbelief for a lot of it, saying it's not like Dogs has a claim on those character traits or anything. And I still enjoy Gangsta enough to ignore them, but so far it feels like similarity after similarity keeps piling on until it's gotten downright impossible to ignore. But hey, if you're like me and love Dogs, this is enjoyable because it's different in enough ways to make it stand on its own. It's something like a different take on the "guns-for-hire with a dark past" type of story. You've got the two sidekicks with a story that unfolds a little differently, and both can be enjoyed as two separate stories existing in very similar genres if you want to think of it that way. But, again, if you happen to love Dogs and Dogs' characters, there's no reason you wouldn't love this when the two are basically the same in that respect. Oh, and on that note, if you can handle Dogs' haphazard storytelling, Gangsta is pretty easy to understand. It doesn't reveal everything at once, but I haven't had a single problem following what's going on, so I don't really get kichiX's complaint in that regard. I had to go back and reread Dogs from volume 1 to really understand what was going on at certain points, but Gangsta so far is easily accessible even though it goes into darker topics than Dogs does. Anyway, try it out if you enjoy dark dystopian settings and complex, adult characters. It's got enough light comedy to keep everything from being overbearingly depressing, and the characters are very engaging and unique (Dogs similarities notwithstanding), so anyone interested in any genre it fits into should come away satisfied.

I'm a sucker for dark atmosphere, craptastic cities and villain protagonists. As such I deem 'Gangsta' very promising. It's not flawless, but it could become very good. ^^ I hope the mangaka will improve as well and give us even better series in the future. ... Last updated on May 31st, 2012, 2:30am

This has become one of my all-time favorites! The setting, characters, action, and story are all interesting and creative. I especially like that the characters are actually adults. I feel like this story is targeting a more mature manga reading demographic. The mangaka also incorporates an interesting take on Asimov's Three Laws. If you're looking for something that doesn't follow any overdone manga formulas, this is for you! It's a refreshing change of pace, and I always find myself eagerly awaiting the next chapter. If this were licensed in English, I'd buy it immediately.

	Dropped
	Rating: 4.0 / 10.0 by kichiX January 28th, 2012, 4:32am
It was okay at the beginning, nothing special, but it had a kind of reality that other shounens tend to gloss over. The art fits the story the mangaka's trying to tell. The characters are okay and have mysterious pasts which are eluded to but never fully explained. It may be because I read this chapter-by-chapter as the releases came out, but I found it all very confusing. I could go back and re-read it all, but to be honest, I'm not interested in it enough to start from the beginning, even though there's only ten chapters out at the moment. So, I've decided to drop this. My advice to people who want to start reading it: wait until there's a few more chapter out.

it is promising, but the layout is a bit confusing. the art is nice i guess to convey the rugged brittle atmosphere of the hopeless city. the two guys are mysterious, however i dont really feel the desire to know more about them. the prostitute meanwhile is intriguing. i mean shes got abused and violated frequently but somehow she still retain almost innocent air. an appropriate explanation should be in order or else i will chalk it off as poor writing to appease the general reader that like pretty naive big boobed girls. i somehow think this manga have a shounen quality in it, sure theres drugs, sex and violence, but probably the characters just too similar to other shounen manga with overpowered guys. anyway, all too early but i think it is worth following.
