Bean Bandit

Gunsmith Cats #6

by Kenichi Sonoda

Rally Vincent is in a funk! The Chicago PD has revoked her bounty hunter license, she`s not allowed to even carry a gun, and her doctor says she should quit the biz, `cause girls shouldn`t do such nasty work anyway! When even her friends are unsympathetic, she decides to track down the source of her present Bean Bandit -- the drug runner and getaway driver extraordinaire who snatched Goldie the hitwoman out from under Rally`s nose. But Bean doesn`t have the reputation for being the best for nothing. Rally`s got her work cut out for her -- and her life on the line! -- if she`s going to try to capture Rolling Bean!

Still as perverted as usual but this volume’s focus on Bean is refreshing and the drug run race with new character Riff Raff was honestly pretty fun. This may he the best volume.

The final chapter saved this. Car chases make for good movies, but not for good manga. Luckily, the car chase ended before the manga.

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.

(I'm so retro, I read this as individual issues.)
