This is a real steal. They put about three of the normal manga volumes into one huge one. Returning to the pre-flip, right to left Japanese style of reading, and costing only slightly more than ONE of the older, smaller, volumes this is a real deal. If you want gun fights, explosions, car chases, cute girls and adult humor THIS is the megavolume to start with. But you have to 18+ or older. Some sex scenes and one scene that suggested a rape that happened but was not shown.
The Gunsmith Cats were one of the first manga I picked up and really showed me how different yet enjoyable Japanese manga could be.
Don't forget there is also a anime DVD out there, with three episodes of action and a 30 minute bonus feature on the making of the anime.

This manga by the character designer Kenichi Sonada is amazing. The anime, an OVA, is also titled "Gunsmith Cats" and it is equally amazing.
The artist is also the character designer for one of my all time favorite anime the "Bubblegum Crisis" OVA.
This series consists of 4 omnibus volumes (Gunsmith Cats Revised Edition), and there is a continuation consisting of 5 volumes (Gunsmith Cats Burst) that concludes the series.
In my opinion this is a wonderfull manga and the OVA is also one of the best anime, though the OVA is currently hard to find.
I have not read or watched the series "Ridding Bean", but I believe it was written prior to "Gunsmith Cats."

I am a great fan of mangas but this one WAS NOT one of the better ones ... the anime was much better and shorter ... the basic premise for all the books ... is Rally gets in trouble along with her sidekick May ... there are obnoxious villains ... unbelievable car chases and gun fire ... and FINALLY the bad dudes get shot or escape ... the characters are not all that redeemable and poorly drawn. I am not certain why the books have parental guidance warnings ... most of the nude shots and panty shots are skanky at best ... I've seen better drawn nudes by 4th graders. Eventually the artist just sticks a nude in the scenes just for the effect and for no other reason. By the fourth book the plot line just kept repeating over and over again ... same violent car chases ... gun fire ... avoid this manga and go read some better ones!!!!
