New acquisition! I’d completely forgotten this was coming out, and so was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting on the shelf at Borders this afternoon. When I was actively following scanlations of Tenjou Tenge, this was constantly sitting off to the side of the translator’s site staring at me, but I never got around to reading it. A shame that I hadn’t, as this turned out to be a nice package. Consisting of four tales that are mostly independent of each other, the overall vibe is similar to that of Black Lagoon, but in a future society that’s the had open genetic engineering of people come and go, and much of the criminal element of the underground seems to literally be living underground. It’s in that slightly oversized format, the art’s sharp, characters are distinct with a nice range, and there’s a color foldout in the front with a pair of nice illustrations. Looking forward to the next volumes (might not be able to resist the scanlations, in fact), and the OVA’s release is imminent, so yay for that.
