Mogura no Uta

A manga about an undercover cop who digs himself deep into the world of criminals in order to arrest a drug dealing yakuza boss.

Mogura no Uta is manga artist Noboru Takahashi‘s most famous and still ongoing series. When I started reading there were already over 50 volumes available and as Takahashi has been drawing this since 2006. Takahashi has a really unique style to his character work that sometimes even looks poorly drawn. Despite this, I got intensely invested in Reiji Kikukawa’s ability to bluff his around enemies and allies alike to keep his secret identity a secret. It’s a fun and entertaining crime drama that’s been adapted to multiple live-action movies as well. I’ll keep reading this series as long as it keep going in Big Comic Spirits!
