Synopsis

• The word is out on the streets: a reward of five million dollars to the opportunist that wastes the courier calling herself Bambi and returns her living cargo. Chainsaw-swinging psychos, gold-toothed Elvises, Derringer-packing grannies, and all the other scum in these badlands could care less whether Bambi is kidnapping this toddler she christened "Pampi" or if she's snatching him back from his captors. With a pink gun in one hand, and a leashed Pampi in the other, can antihero Bambi's huge ego and formidable gun skills hold off an army?

About this title

Reviews

Pink-haired punk Bambi has two problems: a junk-food–scarfing toddler named Pampi who she's trying to deliver to the Old Men she works for, and a 500-million-yen price on her head that's attracting every lowlife hit man in the area, from a garrote-wielding schoolteacher to a sinister Elvis impersonator with a gold tooth. To deal with the kid, Bambi buys a leash. For the rest, she has her trademark pink gun. Fast-paced, ultra-violent and at times just plain weird, Kaneko's new manga serial is a delirious mashup of Lone Wolf and Cub, Love and Rockets and Sin City. Unlike many of the generic manga that have flooded the market recently, this work is well-paced, beginning with exciting stand-alone chapters, gradually delving into backstory and subplots, and ending in a gripping cliffhanger. Kaneko's art, influenced as much by American underground cartoon art as manga, is kinetic, even frenetic. But the combination of clean lines and careful layout ensure that readers are never lost during the crazy action set pieces. Warning: nudity and violence make this for adults only. (June)
