Get Backers: Dakkanya

Ginji Amano, blonde, hip and pragmatic, can generate electric currents through his body. Ban Mido, equally hip and rambunctious, has a mystical knack of his own. The two work as freelance agents, taking on bizarre jobs that usually end in trouble. The premise is an action-comedy about a stylish, unpredictable duo in a city of colourful troublemakers.The strength is the duo. Ginji and Ban are charismatic and fun together, and their chemistry carries the series. The action is flashy and bright, and the mysteries are often quirky.The weaknesses are about tone. Ecchi moments appear often and can feel out of place, and the long run sometimes feels episodic. Readers wanting a tighter story may find it sprawling.Recommended for fans of flashy action-comedies with a charismatic pair. Expect an energetic, sometimes messy read.
