Volume 02.This is a spinoff from Black Lagoon, starring Frederica Sawyer, The Cleaner. This manga is very different in style and tone from the original series, and it's based in the light novels written by Gen Urobuchi, where Rei Hiroe had asked him to write in a way which "challenged Black Lagoon's canon." It is written and illustrated by Ida Tatsuhiko, with co-writing by Rei Hiroe.It's more or less like an alternate canon to the main series, presumably the same events but if the setting was much less grounded in reality and where every character is like an exaggerated version of themselves (ergo, the Urobuchi novels). There are themes of the supernatural, which are sometimes gray, with Sawyer being depicted as occasionally experiencing hallucinations (for varying reasons), sometimes making it less clear which events really happened as shown.Though she is canonically capable of speech with the help of handheld speaking aids, she is depicted as basically a silent protagonist in this series, mostly communicating with facial expressions. This is almost unfortunate, as I find her speech very cute, but it works well for the series and the style it's going for.Volume 01: >>289336651

>>289407324>>289407536Sawyer the cuter
>>289405219>>289407018This never stops being funny
>>289408382I love how morbid she is.
>>289403438Why exactly doesn’t this series continue in anime form? Are they stupid?
>>289409261For the main series, Hiroe said that it kinda hinges on sales of as a whole for Black Lagoon. Manga, blu-rays, merchandise, etc.
>>289409261>>289409290And Horoe got big mad about the west mostly pirating shit, iirc. Then again, maybe he's just lazy. It's criminal though, BL was a unique ride.
>>289409408The fact that he's been able to pull off quite a lot o merchandizing for the series in recent years I think speaks for the fact that the property is still pretty bankable, and also that there's two whole separate spinoff mangas running. Also that gachaslop game.It's definitely not a forgotten property, execs are seeing that there's still money in it.
It's a shame it's so poorly illustrated but I'm sure the artist is getting paid peanuts.
>>289409261>>289409290All the arcs after Roberta are boring as fuck with mediocre action and no ship tease. Why even adapt it?
>>289409515https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SPg2afRXvE
>>289409552Cmon anon even you have to admit it's been low stakes snooze
>>289409574Nah, Wired Red Wild Card was unironically solid, and would work for a season of anime of its own.
>>289409587I liked RWC, 5 Fingers were pretty phoned in though.
>>289409623Five Fingers was a bit eh, I guess, but it could be improved in adaption.
