review 1: in this installment of black lagoon the story of the Romanian assassins Hansel and Gretel comes to a close as they make a break from the Italian branch of the mafia they say their good byes and head off in different directions one going after balalaika the other into hiding both thinking that they will meet there goal and keep on living together forever.but to quote a certain song no one lives forever and they both die one at the hands of balalaika herself and the other by a man that was suppose to help them escape.as for the last part of the book the black lagoon traders are hired by Mr Chang of the Chinese triads to deliver documents,and in while doing so rock gets captured and thrown into questioning by some terrorists and as usual revy and a shenua come to rescu... moree him
review 2: In this volume, the story of the murdering twins concludes and the Black Lagoon company is hired to deliver secret documents and to protect them from Islamic terrorists."Bloodsport Fairy Tale" - even though the twins were crazy sociopaths and mass murderers, I still got all teary eyed when they died. Maybe because Rock showed them compassion, because he was the only one who ever treated them well and didn't try to abuse them. He was so heartbroken on their behalf. Yet I still admired Balalaika for killing the kids, that she had the guts - and the determination - to avenge her men. My favorite part? How protective Levi was of Rock on the boat."Goat, Jihad and Rock'N Roll" - Wow, that was some bloodbath. Levi and that other female Chinese killer, they went along fabulously, their "hate-hate yet fight side-by-side" relationship reminded me of Levi's... erm, friendship - if you can call it that - with Eda, that gun smuggling nun. They really reveled in killing those terrorists. Levi's totally nuts - yet she always comes to Rock's rescue. What a weird friendship. On the other hand, I sometimes feel that Rock is the only normal person there.Another great volume. Rei Hiroe really knows how to write female heroines. They are just as gun-toting and bloodthirsty as men, maybe even more. less

Ah, they admitted that the Triad boss is supposed to remind one of Chow Yun Fat. Okay, then!
