LITERALLY ADORE THIS BOOK.

I binged the anime twice.

The manga is AMAZING.

Art = incredible, snappy, crisp, beautiful.

The style and prose is JUST TO DIE FOR.

The characters are amazing, I'd DIE for Nic or Doug or Nina or Ally or Delico.

Overall, funny, dark, and amazing.

 Another amazing volume. 
 I loved learning more about the dark backstory of the main characters and about their complicated relationship.

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.

THE CHILDHOOD BACKSTORY ☹️ (I’m in shambles)
Worick teaching himself sign language as a kid so Nic—being deaf—wouldn’t have to rely solely on reading lips?? How am I supposed to cope with this, they are so precious.

This was easily the best volume so far; no foreshadowing could have prepared me for the event that shattered their easy friendship as kids. I can't wait to see how the future storyline progresses, knowing what happened in their past.
