Makoto Kubota wandered through life, not taking things too seriously or looking too deep within himself. His job as the head of the Izumo Group's youth gang kept him pleasantly occupied with yakuza wars, mahjong and assassinations...Until the day he stumbled upon a strange drug called Wild Adapter that produces bizarre side-effects--including death. Forever changed, Kubota becomes entangled with a drifter named Minoru Tokito, and the two form an unlikely companionship that draws them deeper into the mystery of Wild Adapter... From the creator of Saiyuki comes a manga in the film noir tradition, full of intense action, wild assassins and mysterious, amnesiac strays.

Wild Adapter, Volume 1
Despite having an almost identical artwork style, this is about as far from Saiyuki as you can possibly get, gone is the humour, Budhist philosophy and the lyrical setting - here we have an ultra violent urban story about a sociopathic teenager who joins the yakuza. It's like the path Cho Hakki could have taken if he were born in the real world.
The art is stunning, the characters are individualised and for some reason the protagonist is sympathetic, despite being a monster. Film Noir style is not my genre at all and yet Wild Adapter drew me in all the same. Storywise I believe this volume is something of a prologue for the main story - As such the death of one of the main characters at the end shouldn't have been as shocking as it was - Yet it totally took me by surprise.
Recommended.
