Synopsis

The end of the civil war signaled the start of the industrial revolution in the United States and immigrants from all over the world traveled to find their American dream. But what awaited the majority of them was poverty, discrimination and hopelessness. Manhattan, New York was full of immigrants flooding through the ports and the 6th district, Five Points, was considered at the time, the world's worst slum. The mobsters corrupted the entire area, including the police by paying them off; Five Points was the mob's territory and they were the law.

But even in Five Points, where there seemed to be nothing but robbery, prostitution and murder, showed some signs of hope. Luke Burns was a honest and righteous teenager who realized that the mob was the cause of the harsh lifestyle and that joining the mobsters would not bring him the American dream. But his older brother, Brad Burns, had become the assassin to the biggest mob group of Five Points, the Grave Diggers, a secret he kept from Luke for his own protection. Brad was known as the Grim Reaper and his reputation preceded him as a ruthless and skilled killer.

The manga is very good, compact, fast paced, with a good play on tension, keeping the reader on edge for the possible twists and turns of the story, that often caught me by surprise. The art is extremely detailed and probably the strongest point of the manga; it's strong western influence and the murky colored pages also contribute greatly to setting the atmosphere. The whole manga looks a lot like classic western comics and the characters' behaviours feel mostly inspired from mafia movies, with some coming straight out of western in the latter half (Indians and Ned felt straight out of Tex). Some elements of ...

In this age, age of speed and internet, the family sanctity is in the lowest levels in the history. Due the "liberation" and Ideologization of the world, the individual are locked in his learning journey or the career until death or lay off. And without any purpose to live, the soul holes are kill us. And in trying to stop this, some fill their life with alcohol and drugs, others with music or wasting time on the internet.
Because that, the brotherhood bond became very weak and fragile.
Thus, we need to something that remember us about all these thing we forget it. and "Green Blood" definitely ...

Mixed Feelings
When it comes to historical settings in media (I won’t include in historical fantasy), I tend to divide them into three categories:

1.) Meticulous representation of societies and cultures and/or high historical nuance, the work almost blurs the line between historical fiction and a documentary. Mori Kaoru’s lifework comes to my mind.

2.) Setting as framework, the era’s context is quite relevant to the plot.

3.) Setting as eyecandy, it “devolves” to atmosphere going for rule of cool. Many wuxia movies and War of the Arrows come into my mind.

More on my point related to this categorization will be expressed on section [3.].First, let’s start with details on ...
