I read the first and the second chapters in English, but there weren't any other chapters avaiable. I bought the manga in German (I'm actually german) because these two chapters impressed me so much (the story and the beautiful art), that I really wanted to go on reading. I must say also, that the 3rd and 4th chapters were as good or maybe better than the 1st and the 2nd.
I know that many of you will think that Deadlock is only a copy of „Under grand hotel“, but this really isn't true. Of course, it's the same setting and also a similar idea
...
for the story, but it really is different. I read the beginning of „Under grang hotel“, but I wasn't truly enthusiastic, so I dropped it. Because of this experience I was susoicious if the manga would really be good, but I was disabused.
The story is great, it's about Yuuto Lenix, a former DEA investigator, who was arrested by a false accusation of killing his own partner. The FBI agents gave him a special deal, to look for a particular criminal hiding in the same prison. In the prison he meets other prisoners (especially his cellmate Dick Burnford) and his relationships with them are as interesting as the main Plot.
The art is fantastic and beautiful, the best I ever saw in a manga. The drawings are realistic and accurate. I think there isn't more to say about it.
I really enjoyed reading the first volume and I hope for more. I would count this to my favourites and give 10/10 points.
