Well this is my first review, and I just had to do one knowing there isn't one yet.
Pardon this if it's bad or just unsatisfactory.

GENERAL
So we first meet our protagonist, Bolt Crank. He's our protagonist that has the ability to eat anything and is able to conjure the item he's eaten from within' himself (usually his hands). He's an adventurer that has the title of "World's Greatest Mercenary" and you see him have a new adventure every few chapters.

STORY
As I previously stated, Bolt Crank is on a new adventure every couple of chapters.
Each adventure has an amazing plot and twist where Bolt Crank has some way to complete most of his jobs in a fashion I did not expect. Now Bolt isn't always a "good guy" per say because he does usually take up the antagonists job sometimes just because they pay more. I don't know what else to say without giving out anything big...
I really liked just how Yoshitomi did the whole series. Nothing seems rushed and there are great comedic points as well as very sad and joyful moments.
10/10

ART
The art in the series is extremely detailed and well done.
It brings up some Western, Sci-Fi, and fantasy-like elements that really make this series interesting.
As the story progresses (it might just be me), but I think the art improves.
9/10

CHARACTER
The characters in the whole series are great fun once you get to know them.
Each of them know (or will know) Bolt Crank and show moments of their past and have their own lovable personalities.
10/10

ENJOYMENT
I truly enjoy this series because it was just well done.
The story has a lot to do with it, and it keeps itself interesting. I have no regrets from reading this and I find that it satisfied all my feelings whether it be sad,happy,and/or silly.
The reader will have a great time following Bolt Crank, I assure you.
10/10

OVERALL
It's a series you really should read.
I believe the way the author put together the whole series is just perfect.
I'm in a lack of words to just "over all" describe it. Read if for yourself.
10/10

Trigun and Eat-Man are quite similar. A man who seems to have lived for a long time is wandering the planet interacting with it's people. Then sometime in the middle of the story he must go and defeat the main antagonist.
A man traveling around the planet, dealing with people and their problems. As the story progress you'll find that Bolt and Vash have much in common

They both have Immortals with mysterious pasts. But, unlike Bolt, Rain constantly shows emotions and is mostly a goof-off through the series.
