Gunsmith Cats is about guns, fast cars and beautiful women. Each fight, each chase is carefully coreographed and filled with technical detail about the merits of each car and gun used.

That being said there's some needlessly disturbing parts. The fights are surprisingly clean, less gorey than most R rated movies. But one character was a 14 year old prostitute and while 18 now can still pass for a grade schooler. So be ready for some really odd attitudes about age and sex in this book.

Other than that though, it's a lot of fun and you get a ton of story for your money.

Odds are that if you're looking at Gunsmith Cats Revised Omnibus Edition Vol. 3, you buy now know the game plan of girls, guns, cars, and well developed stories to carry the book.

This volume contains two complete story arcs, and features all your favorite characters. The first, Rally must stop Bean Bandit from completing a job running the new drug Kerosene between New York and Chicago. The seemingly cut and dry deal lead Rally and Bean to make a wager; if Rally can prevent Bean from completing his job, Bean must agree to never run drugs again. When a rival syndicate attempts to swipe the drug score, thing turn nasty. In the second arc, a routine job escalates when a local celebrity is accused of kidnapping his daughter when he jumps bail.

This volume really ups the ante in the car department, with both stories featuring great car chases in meticulous detail. Sonoda's attention to the subtle nuances of each car and firearm are the work of a true nut. And while not a hypersexed as vol two, there are plenty of lovely ladies and gorgeous pin ups in this one. Absent are the fun extras with gun trivia and anecdotes from Sonoda's personal life. If you enjoyed the first two, then Vol 3 will not disappoint. Action packed from start to finish, Gunsmith Cats Vol 3 is money well spent, giving you 3 times as much book for a few dollars more than your standard manga.

the artwork is great and the story is even better. One of the best animes ever!

This 3rd omnibus volume of "Gunsmith Cats" is as good as the first two. In my opinion, this series consisting of four omnibus volumes should be a cornorstone in any manga fans library.

There is also a sequel "Gunsmith Cats Burst" consisting of five regular size volumes.

I really really like this series.you got two main girls, Rally Vincent and Minni May run a Gun store and are bounty hunters as well.this series is for 18+,already read volume 1 & 2 can't wait for 3.I highly recommend this series.

A good action manga with some random eyebrow rising parts that leave you wondering what the author was thinking.

In fact, I'll just get to the point:

There is one scene in where two young girls have a conversation in the shower. It's actually a fairly innocent scene in itself, but it's so randomly thrown in that there's really no need for it.

The part that really had me disturbed was the intro image for charpter 51, in where Rally(The book's protagonist.) is pictured as a child, naked, holding a rifle that's acting as the only thing covering her. This image has nothing to do with anything going on in the story and is so randomly unnecessary that it really took me out of the book. There's just no reason for it to be there.

It's a shame too, because these things aside, it is actually a fairly good manga. But these images have seriously left me uninterested in continuing this series.

In retrospect Gunsmith Cats have had quite a few sketchy -eyebrow rising- moments in previous books, and I by no means am oppose to mature content in comics, but I think this one has come too close to crossing the line for me in where the darker elements of it's subject matter are starting to feel completely superfluous, at best. I'm done.
