A great Manga series. My favorite. Lots of action, good suspense and the premise is an inventive take on an old idea.
Wild west meets Science fiction.

Okay,so there's been a lot of griping about the "Shooting Star" manga series,when the truth is it's not such a bad series.Of course anyone who is interested in getting into the Bebop franchise, shouldn't go to "Shooting Star" first.In fact this is probably the last Bebop thing you should explore.

With all the said,I think the only flaw with the series are some of the personality changes,but they are slight,and I'll let it go, since this just a "What if?" alternate reality/universe-type situation.The characters designs are also quite different,but I think it fits the whole alternate-universe feel of the manga series.

So if you've watched the series,the movie, read other manga series then check this series out.You may be in for a pleasant surprise(or not)

Cowboy Bebop is a great series. I was glad to find out that there are a new set of mangas for it, but at the same time, saddened that it was only 2 books! (Cain Kuga's series got canceled after only ten stories.) But it's great! If you loved Ed, this is a great series, because there's lots of Ed!

Though the story may be different from what you remember, it's definately an interesting take on the series.

I personally think this 2nd volume of Shooting Star BeBop is much better than the first (the first IS good, though !)
A lot of action and suspense. I wish that this manga had continued, or at least ended with a fourth one (the manga was cancelled after 2 volumes, right after the author finished the 3rd -- which never was published...). Cain does great work :D

I enjoyed this manga, even though it was more like a side-story or a what-if-they'd-met-THIS-way story for the crew of the Bebop.


If only Spike had the 'fro. But his hair's still good.
Ed isn't *AS* wacky, but still ED !


This manga is worth picking up !
The artwork is *great* too!

Over-ethical bounty hunting can be hard work.


In a diaspora situation the police have little of coping with the crime situation over such a large area, so bounty hunters are quite popular. The ones that aren't too fussy about dead or alive tend to make more money, which leaves the Bebop crew struggling.

Supergenius crimelord doubles, computer brained dogs and annoying alien girls don't really help.
