Just irritated from having all those bad days at the office , Rokuro wishes that somehow he could escape that..without being fired of course. His company finishes some plans for a nuclear weapon to be delivered to the client but they are unsure of who to deliver it.They decided upon further brainstorming... pick a low employee to do the job and picked one person = Rokuro. Rokuro felt so glad about this...but little does he know that something bad will happen and it did. While traveling , having entrusted the plans ..he felt glad that something just changed his life, then all of a sudden they attacked. They forced Rokuro to give the plans but refused , because of the refusal they took Rokuro with them. After a lot of things happening.. when his company's president offered him home.. he discarded this once in a life time chance and now is the member of the infamous Black Lagoon gang with Dutch , Revy and Benny. They are a mercenary group in the island of Roanapur , where all the toughest , ruthless , merciless and skilled killers and mercenaries alike live , exiled from the rest of the world with their underground businesses and transactions with death itself.
Reflections

This manga is mostly violent and blood scenes all go about. If you despise that , you can go for another manga to your liking. I see a lot of the present problems in society this days whenever I read this. How companies betray their own countries , betray their own employees and even discarding them as mere tools for their own greed. That people will do anything for their own lusts and desire ... killing , betraying , creating weapons and more of the violent ones.
If you love insane killing ... u can go and watch this one and you'll be happy ^_^
