Book Description

April 14, 2009 Dogs
R to L (Japanese Style)

Boasting furious action, switchback plotting, magnetic characters and dazzling art, Dogs tells the story of four individuals struggling to survive a dystopian urban future by gun and sword and courage and luck.

Haine, the “Stray Dog”: a cipher of a young man with a mysterious metal collar bolted to his neck and a disturbing talent for mayhem. Badou: a hired gun for petty jobs legal and non, whose reckless façade hides a serious intent. Naoto: a preternaturally skilled swordswoman searching for the assassin who cut down her family and mentor. Mihai: a middle-aged former hitman, trying live a quiet life but haunted by the deaths of his lover and protégé. Driven by their ghosts—both dead and alive—and a desire for truth, all are inexorably drawn to the “Underground,” the dark and dangerous sector below the city that holds all the secrets—but secrets that can only be had for a price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice!, November 21, 2009
This review is from: Dogs: Prelude, Vol. 0 (Paperback)
I picked up this manga the other day and was sucked into the storyline. The art is beautiful, the characters have depth and are interesting. I can't wait to read the next volume!

4.0 out of 5 stars Prelude of darker things..., July 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dogs: Prelude, Vol. 0 (Paperback)
I picked this volume up after reading Dogs: Bullets & Carnage vol.1 and still find myself wanting more to this darkly humorous saga. Prelude does a great job of giving us just enough backstory while leaving plenty still to unfold. The tragic life of a mafia enforcer, the Stockholm syndrome infused training of a swordswoman, and more on the exploits of mysterious Hiene and eight-pack-a-day Badou. Good read for the kiss-kiss, bang-bang fanatics.
