• 0:05
  What's up y'all. Welcome back to Danny's to talk
• 0:09
  today, I want to ask y'all a question now what happens or
• 0:14
  what do you get? When you mix a character like
• 0:18
  Mike from Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul and revie from Black
• 0:24
  Lagoon except younger if you mix both of those characters
• 0:28
  together in a scenario, you get the new series implemented, a
• 0:32
  candy and cigarettes. Now, this is volume one
• 0:37
  published by Seven Seas, and the story and art is done by Tone
• 0:42
  Amore anyway. Now, this area is just dropped
• 0:48
  today as the time of me recording this and it's not a do
• 0:54
  a little bit of background research into the series.
• 0:59
  It's not super long. It has finished in Japan.
• 1:03
  It looks like it had It ran from January 6, my birthday 2017 to
• 1:10
  July 20 21. So it had 11 volumes across only
• 1:17
  fifty four chapters. So, not super long, which is
• 1:19
  exciting for me, but candy and cigarettes.
• 1:24
  Like I said, if you mix old man, Mike from birth from Breaking
• 1:28
  Bad, and a younger version of revie from Black Lagoon, you'll
• 1:33
  get our two main characters of this series.
• 1:39
  Because much like Mike the old man, his name is raizo her Ogawa
• 1:47
  or her Agha and the girl, her name is miharu sukazi.
• 1:56
  Now, the old man, he's in his 60s, he's a retired.
• 2:03
  I guess kind of a kind of like a like a, like a retired kind of
• 2:06
  like security officer of some sorts and the our room, she's
• 2:13
  only 11 years old and she's an assassin by the way so that's
• 2:20
  unlikely. Pair end up coming together
• 2:24
  because Why is 0 it? Basically he's in a situation
• 2:30
  where he's retired, but And I'ma keep making comparisons, but
• 2:35
  much like Mike. He has a daughter and a
• 2:39
  granddaughter day. He does very dearly or no, no
• 2:42
  grandson. I should say he has a daughter
• 2:44
  and a grandson where his grandson is suffering.
• 2:50
  From some type of like sleepy sickness disease where there's
• 2:54
  currently no known cure for it. But there is like a, a test
• 3:02
  medicine, the third that the clinics and stuff, whatever, I
• 3:06
  wanted to try whatever, but it caused basically about a million
• 3:10
  yen, a month. So, raizo ends up needing a job.
• 3:15
  So he tries to do a little side job at a convenience store.
• 3:18
  It's not working out for him because he's like, man, I'm an
• 3:21
  old man. I'm getting yelled about the by
• 3:23
  these young punks at work and stuff.
• 3:25
  Whatever. And this money is Going to cut
• 3:28
  it. So he goes job such and whatever
• 3:31
  and he comes across a add post with all the different skills
• 3:35
  and stuff, whatever for a kind of anonymous company.
• 3:40
  That is saying hey we're paying a million yen, a month where
• 3:45
  he's a. Hey, I fit all those job
• 3:47
  qualifications and I need a million in a month.
• 3:51
  So let me go apply and that's how he is at this organization
• 3:56
  called. I believe it's called, Called.
• 3:59
  Let me see if I can get the name.
• 4:02
  Let me see if I can grab the name real quick.
• 4:05
  Desperado used books, and he meets basically, imma call her.
• 4:12
  The handler was her name. Can you met this lady?
• 4:18
  Here, she is bursting. Kind of like the Handler of this
• 4:23
  facility where she's the one that basically gets the
• 4:27
  contracts and stuff. And it's doing the deals, but
• 4:30
  anywho so rise. Our goals are for work or
• 4:32
  whatever and he ends up getting sent out with no information or
• 4:37
  whatever to do a cleanup job. So he goes out, he goes to this
• 4:41
  room whatever. Zoman, they pay me all this
• 4:43
  money to be a janitor easy gig watching to the room, their
• 4:49
  body. And I'll walk some me, however,
• 4:53
  know from taking a shower, basically and he's like, yo,
• 4:57
  what is going on? And that's where it's revealed.
• 4:59
  That miharu is a Sasson and she's only 11 years old and
• 5:04
  she's all. Yeah, I just took a shower head
• 5:06
  clean off the blood or whatever and that's kind of the start of
• 5:11
  this Oddball partnership. We're like so you have this
• 5:15
  retired older man who's getting the money to help out his
• 5:18
  daughter and grandson and then you have this absolute killing
• 5:23
  machine who we find out throughout this volume that she
• 5:27
  is on a at the Revenge because of what happened to her family
• 5:34
  and so yeah it is just a very dope read the Art and stuff in
• 5:43
  it is very clean. One of my favorite panels.
• 5:47
  When the first time you see me higher?
• 5:49
  Ooh. Lenna, some headshots on some
• 5:53
  dudes, but one of the coolest things that I enjoy about the
• 5:56
  series that are time, I think about this setup, it reminds me
• 6:03
  of, for any fans out there that have played Uncharted 2.
• 6:07
  And if you plan on Charter to nor do, you know what I'm
• 6:09
  talking about. But the way that game starts to
• 6:12
  wear, you know, this this volume starts off with your following
• 6:18
  rise out in the middle of some scenario.
• 6:20
  He's running away from some back.
• 6:21
  Guys Tom, let you know, you know, I'm too old for this as
• 6:27
  he's being chased and shot. No gunshots, whatever.
• 6:30
  And then it kind of flushes back, feels in stuff and then
• 6:33
  eventually we see that same panel again.
• 6:36
  So I love that because like I said, like with Uncharted, to
• 6:39
  the way the game starts, you see that Secrets again like Midway
• 6:42
  through the game? It's like, oh, okay.
• 6:43
  That's how we got here. And so yea, like I said, like on
• 6:48
  the surface level, you know, it's nothing like too
• 6:50
  complicated, whatever bad. At it but I just like the setup
• 6:54
  of it. Like so these two characters or
• 6:57
  a pretty cool dynamic duo to say the least.
• 7:01
  And like I said I love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul I love
• 7:06
  Mike is one of my favorite characters from the series and
• 7:09
  those others been following my podcast for a while.
• 7:10
  Y'all know I'm a few months back I re-watched and reviewed Black
• 7:15
  Lagoon again for the first time in like a decade plus me
• 7:18
  watching it again. And so like I just got very Apps
• 7:22
  from both of those characters again in this story.
• 7:28
  And so, yeah, it is just kind of just intriguing just seeing how
• 7:33
  this, this young girl, who can't be all, you know, happy and
• 7:37
  dancing and stuff. One second to turn around and
• 7:42
  then she is a up here, doing contract hits after school.
• 7:50
  She's up here struggling. With her math.
• 7:52
  But hey, hey shots. She can't tell you how many have
• 7:55
  had many headshots, she got. But Beth Kenyon cigarettes.
• 7:59
  This is this was a very strong first start, which like I said I
• 8:04
  literally came up from work. This volume was waiting for me
• 8:07
  at my door and within a matter of hours I have read it fell in
• 8:11
  love and already recorded review and is probably gonna be up the
• 8:14
  same day. So yeah, very strong
• 8:17
  recommendation and like I said, knowing that it's not a super
• 8:20
  long series of this. 54 chapters across 11 volumes.
• 8:25
  That's that that's another That's another highlight for me
• 8:31
  because like I said, just knowing that.
• 8:33
  Okay, this series already has a Finish Line, it's not okay.
• 8:37
  You might be tempted to go ahead and try to read ahead or
• 8:40
  something, I don't know. But like I said, this is if
• 8:44
  anything, I've said today, sounds interesting to you.
• 8:47
  Like I said, your fan of Michael revie then candy and cigarettes
• 8:54
  from Seven. Seas is definitely wanted to add
• 8:57
  to your collection. It's tough sell.
• 8:59
  But yeah, I am looking forward to reading more of the story and
• 9:05
  to follow these two characters on their journey to see what are
• 9:11
  the shenanigans that stuff they get up to.
• 9:13
  But yeah, this is a very dope start and with that being said,
• 9:17
  thank you so much for watching. If you check out the series let
• 9:21
  me know what you think. Or if you're interested.
• 9:22
  Let me know and I'll catch you on the next one.
• 9:26
