I really enjoyed this manga, due to it being different from most of the assassin manga out there that i have come across so far. The story line so far has really picked up and is able to hold my interest because its not revealing too much too soon. Or on the other hand its not ridiculously slow moving. The art is really good, i haven't ran across a panel i had to stare at confused (thinking what in the world is that?). The Tsubame character is great due to his diversity. His main(body) is not the annoying kid type who eats a lot that ... you see so often but is rather level headed. Overall i give it a 9. I enjoy assassin manga and hope that this one doesn't end.

I picked this work up to read based only on the appealing art, which was not a disappointment. That is its biggest selling point. The action scenes and progression of gunfights, even the fisticuffs, are wonderfully drawn. Despite some crowded panels, the art has a clean feel to it so you can clearly see the progression and flow of action.
Unfortunately, the story is ultimately a disappointment. I will try not to spoil as much as possible, but it may trickle through. The beginning of the story has a slow build, almost with an enemy-of-the-chapter kind of feel. This progresses into some revelations quickly and then ... suddenly immediately begins steamrolling through plot points, much of which are not developed nor properly explored and explained. The mechanism behind the main character's unique power is thrown into a half-baked backstory with a strange characterization, none of the other personalities are fully elaborated on enough (except maybe Penguin), and the big reveal of what the master plan was supposed to be ultimately amounts to nothing more than jokes at the end.
What's worse is the utter amount of loose ends created so close to an abrupt ending that have no end to ever be addressed. We have the fixer's situation, the fact that the big bad company is still alive, and the master plan that doesn't seem to be very urgent in any way. It was all very rushed and poorly planned, in the end.
