Uber-babe bounty hunter Rally Vincent is on the trail of counterfeiters, but vengeance-minded killers are on the trail of Rally. And they've got her pal Misty under wraps. Rally has to team up with a pal who happens to work for one of Rally's bounty targets! Round and round Rally goes, but where she stops...you'd better believe she's heavily armed! Duck and cover! Gunsmith Cats is gun-blazing, tire-screeching, eye-popping manga as only Kenichi Sonoda can deliver. Includes two special Gunsmith Cats short stories.
I think this is the point where I drop the stars if only because I feel like I have read these same plot points sixteen times in this manga. Kidnappings, violence, nudity. We get a solid villain in Goldie and we also have some backstory with Minnie May that only serves to make her romance even creepier. But overall this volume is showing the limitations of the authors story-writing ability and I am not so much losing interest as I am just kind of gliding through the manga to get it over with. And because I like Rally and Misty. That's about it.
This volume gives the start to a story that finishes in the next volume (which I do not have). It has its exciting moments, but overall, it's just so-so. If I stumble across Gunsmith Cats #5, I'll read it.
Re-reading. Comments for the series. I remember liking these in the 90s as action mangas with cool guns and cars. I now find them to have the details of action movies without the meat of it, filled with clichés from mangas and movies, all "cool-looking" scenes with no story/character depth behind it. More free space on my shelves.
