Manga-A-Day 2 – Gunsmith Cats: Burst v2 Sunday, May 24th, 2009

For some reason, I didn't pick up on it so much in the first volume, but the main story running from the first volume through a good chunk of this one shares a commonality with the Daniel Craig Bond reboot, Casino Royale. Namely, both involve baddies ...
