Razor

A manga about a former Japanese policeman who ends up in New York city where he lives and does how he pleases during the turn of the 20th century.

It’s really, really, really fortunate that I didn’t find this manga before we did our Creator Cross Section on Kazuo Koike because everything in this series is awful.

The protagonists rapes every woman he comes across and that causes them to fall madly in love with him…
He somehow escapes death JUST BECAUSE…
The mob boss he fights against is a literal copy of Vito Corleone from The Godfather…
That mob boss is killed and returns to life at the end of the series to fight him…
A female assassin claims to be Maria Okulani, daughter of the last sovereign queen of Hawaii Liliʻuokalani, despite the fact that Okulani was NOT her last name…

This is so bad and clearly ripping off the settings of Gangs of New York. There’s no excuse for why Koike didn’t do any research into any of the historical context of the story.

This is probably the worst thing I’ve read in recent memory and I READ A LOT OF BAD THINGS.
