review 1: This is a dark, violent manga series set in an underground prison. The graphics are good and the storyline is quite gripping too with some unexpected twists and turns. Of course it isn't for the fainthearted. The violence starts very early on with its realistic depictions of brutal prison life. Having said that the twists and turns also lead to the main characters having some kind of emotional life and eventually developing feelings for each other. In this way the story conveys some kind of hope amongst the depressing life of a brutal underground prison regime. It is a good read for manga fans but a brutal one.
review 2: I was blown away by Volume no.1 and this one is no different. Even better, the plot is more fleshed out, new characters are introduced, the te... morension is cranked up to the hilt and it's even soapier than the previous one, so much so that every once in a while I thought that I was reading the manga version of the Beecher/Keller storyline from the TV series Oz. Add to that, there is even more non-consensual/consensual sex between the inmates and even the warden in various permutations and combinations. Picking up where the last volume left off, it continues depicting the passionate and unhealthy romance between Sen and Swordfish and every challenge and roadblock that threatens to tear them apart. This one is a little heavy on melodrama and even ends on a fantastical note, quite literally. But like before, the art is beautiful and the story is extremely addictive.Note: Since Volume 3 isn't listed on Goodreads, I have rated this based on both Volumes 2 and 3. less
