Koroshiya 1
Story : Explores a fictitious underworld society of Shinjuku, where the Yakuza operate. A man (only ever referred to as "Jijii") puts a strain on relations between gangs through lies and manipulation. Main characters are Ichi, Kakihara and Jijii.
Art - Detailed yet some of the facial expressions irritate me. Scary characters look genuinely scary, which is a nice quality.
Overall : 7.5/10 - Intriguing plot and characters you can't get enough of (IMO). Having said that, I can only suggest this manga to people who can tolerate high doses of depravity as the backbone is medley of rape-murder, female degradation, gore, brutal violence, torture and very hentai themes. More messed up than its movie adaptation and one of the most disturbing manga I've read.

Reason: Lowered rating on second thoughts
