a masterpiece not for everyone

this series (as many from this author) is a bit hard on the stomach and on the mind, but sure has lots of interesting themes and inventive story points.
a good read for someone adult and strong-hearted, you can get off-balance or be repulsed by reading this very easily, but imho its one of the best works out there, if you search for something thoughtful and edgy, not the usual stock-shoujo/shonen/harem...
its a sure 10 for me: great storyline and plot (even if a bit fragmented at times) impressive artwork if you can appreciate something "westernlike" and an overall peculiarity that sets it apart from pretty much all the current productionsmile

Unknown and underrated

I have finally finished this. This is a manga that gets better and better as it goes on. It's certainly not for everyone, but give it a try or two--I gave it a second chance (hated it on my first attempt, but it somehow stayed at the back of my mind) and to date, I can say this is one of the best manga I have ever read.

A couple of things:-

(1) The art doesn't have a consistent quality. The covers and the first few pages are good and neat, but the rest are pretty raw and untidy and looks as if the artist didn't put a lot of effort into it. In the beginning, this was quite a turn-off for me but I eventually grew to like the style.

(2) The plot and esp. the characters are far from what you'd find in a typical manga. But I think it's a good thing, in this case. The series is roughly episodic and may be separated into several arcs, usu. focusing on an individual case and its relevant characters (either the enforcers or their targets.) There is quite a bit of humour in the writing, although--looking at some of the other reviews here--perhaps not everyone will be able to pick up on it.

At the end of the day, this is a manga that can weird you out and make you think, is funny as well as sad (almost approaching tragedy at some points), and I think this is why it's such a great manga, because it's working on so many levels and manages somehow to pull it off. A final caveat: the sexual content is quite explicit, and more revolting than erotic IMO. Don't let that put you off the manga though--you may eventually develop a taste for it =p

Spoiler (highlight to view)
The story is kinda stupid...well, its not stupid, but their actions piss me off to no end...you guys say, gore, nudity, I could care less about that, they're all cold blooded killers...The regulation in itself makes me mad...If it were me, I'd wipe out that whole organization...killing those who have nothing to do with it...the main character makes me mad too..his gf is screwed by some other guy and he doesn't care (WTF? are you kidding me?), he killed that other woman too...and that guy who abuses his wife/gf pisses me off more...if theres anything that this manga has that tears me apart on the inside..is the mistreatment of women... i cant handle that...it irritates/frsutrates/piss me off to no end.

And because of this I can't keep reading.

Very interesting, it's like watching someone else's bad dream, basically the whole manga is one never-ending nightmare.

Well, I've read the first... five chapters, I think? Well, anyway, I thought it was pretty good. I can't seem to find anymore non-download chapters, though. Oh well, I'll keep looking.

Weird but Well-developed ^_^

Plot/Story:- It's about criminals who've been let out early because of overcrowding, so the government allowed a new "Vengeance Law" allowing people to hire Enforcers to kill ex-cons who have affected you or your family.

Artwork:- The artwork was pretty terrible to begin with , because the author is known for drawing everything all sketchy but it improves later on.

Final Thoughts:- The plot is pretty interesting however the story does become very inconsistent, at times, where it adds in some random stuff like a war. The characters are all pretty insane in some way, especially the main one (Kano)who's always talking to himself but at least one or 2 characters are developed well in the end. Well it started of pretty crappy but now that it's improved I wanna read the next volume.

if there was a manga to be called perfect it would be this one.
warning: not for the faint hearted.

Don't read this if you're easily offended by nudity, gore, crackpot shit happening all the time and crude artwork.

If you're open to all that, this is some of the best stuff you can read.
