I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. It's a gritty noir story about an eternal war of assassins and the people who get caught in the middle. Somehow it managed to merge brutal violence, off-beat whimsical humour and genuine emotion into a package that was more than the sum of its parts.

Stopped a couple of chapters in. It started alright but the description of the first major female character was a disappointment. At the second reference to Japanese porn I stopped reading.
