ＧｅｔＢａｃｋｅｒｓ－奪還屋－ #4

by Yuya Aoki, Rando Ayamine (Illustrator)

Now that their fights are over, Ginji and Ban head over to the auction to retrieve the Venus de Milo. With a ploy nothing short of typical for this team, the GetBackers escape with their prize. But, alas, there is never enough cash to go around, so the GetBackers quickly take up a job to retrieve a diamond ring from a hot spring...where the duo battles feral monkeys! If that wasn't enough to drive Ban and Ginji bananas, they are pulled onto a case involving missing children and a strange card game.

Trigger warning for those bothered by animals being harmed. I will say they have toned down the amount of unnecessary panty and boobs shots. There was only one major one in this volume. I liked that they focused more on the overall story and that it went deeper than the anime.

Fight scenes were pretty meh, although the series has a fun range of weird abilities. I did like the trick the animal controller pulled with the seeing-eye dog though. I felt bad for bad guy again. In a cool motive, still murder way. It's clear he went to great, very criminal lengths to be able to play violin professionally, but somehow is told he doesn't have the passion necessary to capture people's hearts. But you can still be drawn in by a sad or angry song, right?

I didn't read volumes 1-3, which is obviously unfair of me. I was clearly missing a lot of character-interaction backstory. Also, I think this story is supposed to not make a ton of sense and be "wacky" or something. A crime boss who wants to a world famous musician steals a violin from a talented blind performer, who is rich enough to hire a heist team to get it back. Maybe that's not so expensive -- they didn't seem very skilled other than having superpowers. It was mildly entertaining.

So far this manga’s just average, the plots not too good! The arts the best part and I like the main characters 😁👌❤️❤️

Each volume has been consistent. Good but not great. A solid palate cleanser from my books!

Conclusion to all the fights were ok. Also some weird cuts between panels left me confused. Great conclusion to the arc as a whole

This is actually getting better. I liked the Stradivarius storyline. Still a bit strange how seemingly everyone has magical powers of some sort. Still a fair amount of fan service but it probably just wouldn't be Getbackers without it.
