Summary
Ergastulum is a tough town， the kind of place where the rule of law takes a backseat to the law of violence， and where Handymen like Nic and Worick make a living doing odd jobs for their clients， from routine deliveries to extrajudicial killings。 Discreet， ruthless， and efficient， the men are respected by both the police brass and the Mafia dons， but it took many long， hard years for them to make their names。 Behind those years is the hidden history of how the scion of an elite family and a boy soldier of the Twilights ranks formed an improbable， unbreakable bond。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I remember their backstory in the anime was one of my favorite arcs。 And reading the manga makes me remember why I still love that arc。 Honesty though Nic was adorable as a kid， traumatized but like adorable so was Worick。 Though I didn’t know his name was Wallace， wasn’t expecting that。 I literally forgot that was his name。 Plot wise with the twilights dying I want to know why and who is doing that， and I’m out here praying that Nic doesn’t die cuz if he does I’m a kill someone。 Overall this vo I remember their backstory in the anime was one of my favorite arcs。 And reading the manga makes me remember why I still love that arc。 Honesty though Nic was adorable as a kid， traumatized but like adorable so was Worick。 Though I didn’t know his name was Wallace， wasn’t expecting that。 I literally forgot that was his name。 Plot wise with the twilights dying I want to know why and who is doing that， and I’m out here praying that Nic doesn’t die cuz if he does I’m a kill someone。 Overall this volume was really good， and I can’t wait until the next volume comes out。 。。。more

Como sempre， a arte de Kohske aqui é bem bonita。A história vai se tornando mais e mais pesada， em especial porque começa a mostrar toda a violência pela qual Nicolas e Worick passaram até se tornarem os adultos no tempo presente do mangá。As escolhas narrativas da autora são muito interessantes， em especial quando ela escolhe deixar bem claro que esse universo é uma versão alternativa do nosso mundo， na qual certos eventos não ocorreram （como， aparentemente， foi o caso da IIWW， que não parece ter Como sempre， a arte de Kohske aqui é bem bonita。A história vai se tornando mais e mais pesada， em especial porque começa a mostrar toda a violência pela qual Nicolas e Worick passaram até se tornarem os adultos no tempo presente do mangá。As escolhas narrativas da autora são muito interessantes， em especial quando ela escolhe deixar bem claro que esse universo é uma versão alternativa do nosso mundo， na qual certos eventos não ocorreram （como， aparentemente， foi o caso da IIWW， que não parece ter rolado por aqui， da forma como as informações estão sendo introduzidas）。Esse volume acho que foi um dos mais violentos e incômodos até agora， mas até a forma como Kohske trata a violência aqui é interessante， ainda que não deixe de revirar o estômago。Da parte da tradução da JBC， o que me incomodou foi a repetição frequente do termo "negão" para se referir a um personagem， quando， aparentemente， no original não se fazia uso de um termo tão pejorativo — pelo menos em inglês foi usado "black guy"。 Com relação aos comentários da própria Kohske， tem uma piadinha transfóbica no final （nem faz parte da história） que me fez revirar os olhos。Aviso de conteúdo: violência doméstica， violência contra crianças， sangue， assassinato， estupro/feminicídio 。。。more

I like that this volume answered the questions that I had in the previous volume。 I really enjoyed the flashbacks to Nico and Worick’s youth， despite how sad it may have been。Also。。。Is it bad that I like when Nico gets that crazy grin on his face？

As predicted in my review of Volume 2 of Kohske's "Gangsta" series， plot thickens as the bodies， head count， and answers to previous questions grow。 While not all plot lines are tied off by the end of the final chapter in Volume 3 it will entice the reader（s） to quickly request Volume 4+ for the graphic and exciting thriller。 The explanation of the origins of the Handymen takes place in this volume， and it is both heartfelt and brutal。 Like other elements of this particular volume （from words us As predicted in my review of Volume 2 of Kohske's "Gangsta" series， plot thickens as the bodies， head count， and answers to previous questions grow。 While not all plot lines are tied off by the end of the final chapter in Volume 3 it will entice the reader（s） to quickly request Volume 4+ for the graphic and exciting thriller。 The explanation of the origins of the Handymen takes place in this volume， and it is both heartfelt and brutal。 Like other elements of this particular volume （from words used to illustrations shown）， this is one that readers should caution due to the potential of it causing a trigger effect。 While it did not fully spark my own， there was still a collection of pages that caused me to stop and take a breath before continuing onward。 As I complete this review， and fill out a request for Volumes 4 and 5， I am comforted in knowing the answers to certain parts of the character's lives while not having the full story when it comes to the other parts。 I feel for both Handymen as they continue to grow， and grow alert to the ways their world is changing。 Whatever happens next， I am ready for the ride。 。。。more

I think this may be the first book where I can honestly say I gave me more questions than answers， and it's all thanks to those flashbacks。 How did Worrick lose his eye？ Was it Nic？ If so， why would he hurt him， considering he's never shown any displays of ill will towards the kid？ How did the two get to Ergastalum？ Where's Worrick's mother， and how did she survive？ Why do present day Nic and Worrick have such weird and cryptic dialogue？ We may never know， but I hope that's not the case。Other th I think this may be the first book where I can honestly say I gave me more questions than answers， and it's all thanks to those flashbacks。 How did Worrick lose his eye？ Was it Nic？ If so， why would he hurt him， considering he's never shown any displays of ill will towards the kid？ How did the two get to Ergastalum？ Where's Worrick's mother， and how did she survive？ Why do present day Nic and Worrick have such weird and cryptic dialogue？ We may never know， but I hope that's not the case。Other than the flashbacks， this volume is pretty good。 I still adore the art style， though Kohske has a little trouble with side profiles at times。 The action is amazing as always， as is how the volume deals with darker subject matter。 I like the how the relationships are developing between the three main characters， especially Nic and Alex。 We meet the head of the Christiano family， Loretta， and she is probably one of my favorite characters， though we don't see much of her this volume。 Can't wait to read the next one！ 。。。more

This is by far the best volume of the series。 So we take a break from the ultra violent stuff and focus more on the two main characters as kids。 We learn more about the structure of the world they live in， the characters， what Twlights are， and why someone loses a eye and the other nearly dying all the time。 The childhood story of the two leads are also met with them going around the city kind building up some big war coming to them。 The end results not looking good for our heroes。 Good: I loved This is by far the best volume of the series。 So we take a break from the ultra violent stuff and focus more on the two main characters as kids。 We learn more about the structure of the world they live in， the characters， what Twlights are， and why someone loses a eye and the other nearly dying all the time。 The childhood story of the two leads are also met with them going around the city kind building up some big war coming to them。 The end results not looking good for our heroes。 Good: I loved the backstory。 Tragic in so many ways， but also the quiet moments are the ones that hit the most。 Also the fights， while minimal， are still highly entertaining。 I also thought the end set up big events coming nicely。 Bad: Some of the shots make it hard to follow and confusing but I assume that's because we're following the backstory in the head of a person and not played out， and so it's bits and pieces。 Overall this is easily the best volume of Gangsta。 It's pushing story before action， and that's the best approach a series should go for。 A 3。5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 4。 。。。more

This was my favorite volume in the series so far。 We get some backstory on Nic and Warwick and how they became friends and I enjoyed that。 I think it offered some depth to the characters that we didn’t see in the previous two volumes。 The storyline is also starting to get interesting which is a plus。

This series is getting better and better， I loved the backstory between my children Nic and Worrick， precious babes。 Decent amount of action to balance out the backstory and I hated both Nic and Worricks fathers。
