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."

A smart young woman owns a gunstore, trains people to shoot, and, when the business lags a little, works as a bounty hunter in Chicago to make ends meet. What's not to like? Well-written and well-drawn, an appealing and intersting cast of characters keeps you entertained for hours. If you like shows like "The Sopranos" and movies like "The Transporter", you won't be disappointed as this series has elements of those in it. And if you like fast cars, there's lots of those in here, too.

Awesome compilation, faithful to the original manga format, Kenichi Sonoda's artwork is really detailed and the story arcs are amazing it's a great mix between japanese manga and western action comics, if you like hot girls, guns and classic american muscle cars buy this!!
