Viu has found a kindred buddy in the rope wrangling Will. They both have clues to the legendary Gun Blaze West. They both want to go there. And “Target” Kevin wants them both dead! It’s duel time Old West style but Will doesn’t want to kill. This could make things, err, complicated. Viu has no trouble gun-slingin’ though. He’s out to teach Kevin a lesson along with any other bad guys who get in his way! The manga has what every Wild West story needs – a saloon brawl! Viu goes to the baddest part of the town to take on the worst of the worst all alone. The wee guy sure likes to take on more than he can chew – or shoot! In the end he leaves St. Louis but with a buddy by his side in search of Gun Blaze West. The trek takes them to a new town and new people. Weird in a Wild West story is a circus. They meet blade master Colice Satoh who is a pretty girl with deadly skills hailing all the way from Japan. The head of the troupe of performers is the big and tall Ringmaster. He’s a man with a past and that past is about to come knocking down his door! Will Viu and his pal help? You bet! But there’s more than one gun toting bad guy lurking around. It seems there’s something special about this particular year to head to Gun Blaze West and it’s bringing out the most evil, greasy, underhanded gun-slingers around. And Viu just might have to duel them all! Viu makes some new friends in the latest volume. He also finds out the road to GBW is one that is gonna demand a lot from him. He has to step up his training, work on his concentration. Lucky for him the pretty Colice is willing to help him with that. But a lot of people are insisting that you have to be ruthless and a killer to get to GBW. Viu is determined to prove them wrong. You go Viu! It has a lot of action, nasty baddies, and some character profiles thrown in for this middle of three volumes manga story. It’s short but fierce!
IN SUMMARY:
Viu makes new friends and some very nasty enemies in his search for the legendary Gun Blaze West! |
