tldr: It can be really over the top with everything, mostly for the better except for the ecchi which (for me) is really uncomfortable with few exception.

GOOD BITS: There is a lot to like, there are sillier more comedic parts but also deadly serious and hype parts. Aside from the first 40 chapters or so, the tone is very consistent despite having to balance humour with serious mafia stuff.

Keeping it quick:
- Way too much ecchi.
- Only 1 female has actual personality, everyone else is just fan-service.

- Humour is quite bad, doesn't fit with the atmosphere it's trying to create at all.
- Art is great (not always, but 80% of the time, it ...
