Minekura, Kazuya: Wild Adapter, vol. 1-2

August 7th, 2008  |  Published in Manga Reviews, Reviews

wildadapter1.jpgMy review of vols. 1-2 of Wild Adapter is now up at Manga Life.

An excerpt:

The story begins with Makoto Kubota, the illegitimate and unacknowledged son of a powerful man. Though Kubota has been raised by his uncle Kasai, a police detective, his skill for gambling and flair for violence ultimately bring him to attention of Yokohama’s rival yakuza groups. Kubota frightens those who know him with his cold disdain for most other people, but one day, seemingly on a whim, Kubota makes a strange choice: he takes in a “stray cat,” a young man named Tokito whom Kubota finds collapsed in an alley. Tokito has no memory of his past, but his right hand has been transformed into something more animal than human, suggesting that his life has hardly been normal. To find out the truth about Tokito’s past, Kubota and Tokito will have to unravel the mysteries of Wild Adapter, a drug that has been leaving a trail of dead and strangely inhuman bodies in its wake.
