Glorious, subtle, beautiful, moving, detailed, evokes Hokusai, the Edo era, unusual-don't be put off by the art, it is so against the grain of mainstream manga but it is astonishing, the use of shade and light and ink blots. I think the only manga I have even given 10 in every category, but I cannot fault it. The story is so perfect as well, interweaving and intensely thought-provoking

PLEASE read it or try-a fantastic story and piece of artwork-just..wow

i love this manga, i really do, its incredibly depressing but wierdly somehow uplifting, not many people know mizukis work which is a real shame.
Of course it is all personal opinion and many wont like the hyper-violent and very particular art style but personally i love to copy the art, the lines flow so beautifully and she can tell so much with so few strokes that sometimes it can be a little hard to understand but we can forgive her that, it is a tragedy, and i felt very moving though inevitable and easy to predict
I introduced this at school and every single ... person who read it went out and bought it after, it is very obcessive if you do like it-
give it a try, you may love it as I did, or you may not, but whatever, i think it is one of the most beautiful mangas, no books in general I think ive ever read- hope you like it too
oh and I love Othello :p

To be honest, i tried watching black lagoon initially beacause ive found most of the best anime in the B's and D's, truthfully, they just seem to be really good. which is why i gave black lagoon a go, the 1st time it looked intresting but i stopped watching it for one reason or another, i picked it up again later and again the awesome theme tune drew me in, if you dont mind heavy violence and serious and sometimes disturbing themes, (but always well presented and which makes it sound so good :P but it has,
:amazing music
:amazing stories
:great characters (including a gun wielding ... nun and a legendary shenhua, 'chinglish' speaking knife woman)
:brilliant fights
:all round awesomeness that makes it such a good watch!
bt seriously, watch it for yourselves, enjoy!
