This is by far the best volume of the series.

So we take a break from the ultra violent stuff and focus more on the two main characters as kids. We learn more about the structure of the world they live in, the characters, what Twlights are, and why someone loses a eye and the other nearly dying all the time. The childhood story of the two leads are also met with them going around the city kind building up some big war coming to them. The end results not looking good for our heroes.

Good: I loved the backstory. Tragic in so many ways, but also the quiet moments are the ones that hit the most. Also the fights, while minimal, are still highly entertaining. I also thought the end set up big events coming nicely.

Bad: Some of the shots make it hard to follow and confusing but I assume that's because we're following the backstory in the head of a person and not played out, and so it's bits and pieces.

Overall this is easily the best volume of Gangsta. It's pushing story before action, and that's the best approach a series should go for. A 3.5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 4.
