Quick First Impressions:
Prisoners here want to get out of prison mainly because it's their order, and they have a bigger mission outside. Hopefully, their opponents (particularly the cops) won't be that easy (they managed to catch such high ranking criminals after all).
So far so good. I think it's very interesting. Hopefully the manga adaptation will focus more on their escape and their adventure out of prison... rather than on the... disturbing parts (I'm not a a yaoi fan, ya know)

BLGame turned into manga. But nope. Manga is not yaoi or shounen-ai. Maybe if you squint hard.. you'll find BL hints here and there (especially if you're a fan of the game itself). But overall, it's just a mafia related story with a plot.
Story: 9/10 I played the game and I actually love the story of LD1 (putting aside the yaoi). It's very interesting and thrilling especially since I love mafia stories and action. The story is about Gian, a low-ranking member of CR:5, (the name of their group) often gets thrown in the prison but always manage to escape whenever he wants. He earned the nickname ... Dec 5, 2013
Gain is so awesome and cool. Its original and the art is fantastic! All the characters are distinctive and are not copied off each other. My fav however is Giulio. He's beautiful, silent, reserved.People can say he is kinda creepy but I loved the fact he is so attached to Gian. This is my all time favorite of all times! Prison Break with all hot guys. Damn that is good. The manga is really similar to the game but without all the BL in it.

A manga about Mafias... I had to read that... After I finished with Hitman Reborn, I came across another mafia story so I picked it up and began reading.
Story - 8/10 Funny, entertaining. It's based on a BL game, but so far in the manga, there's not really any BL scenes except for a few scenes here and there. The "BL hinting" scenes in the manga are actually from a scene from each route in the game. Like there's one scene with Bernardo and Gian that occurs if you're on Bernardo's route in the game, and the scene with Guilio and ... Jun 13, 2012
Reading this manga, I was first struck by the clichés: there's the best friend from childhood, the bishie heart-breaker with heart-breaking past, hot-tempered delinquent, psycho-killer--the gang's all here! Or are they? As the manga went on, each character developed interesting twists and depths that delighted and surprised. The plot is the same way: it's a jail-break story, one from a vast collection that all start to sound the same after a while. Lucky Dog BLAST overcomes this hurdle by adding a new dimension in the first chapter--the main character's unexpected promotion--which complicates the characters' goals and motivations to the mastermind's chagrin
