As the story progresses, Jimmy and Banko meet new people, form a gang of their own, and bump heads with gangs from other schools/districts. Banko, his partner-in-crime, runs his own business by selling information on popular girls in the area. Now in high school, Jimmy is considered a delinquent and skips class to run his own inking business on fellow school-mates for 30,00Y a tattoo. From that day, Jimmy vowed to become a tattoo artist just like the hero that saved him. While being carried by the man who saved him from death, young Jimmy was captivated by the tattoo that spanned across that back. Unfortunately, the series has only been scanlated up to Chapter 48 (Volume 7). It started publishing in 2005 and is currently ongoing with 27 volumes. Gang King is Seinen, school-life, action, comedy written and illustrated by Yanauchi Daiju. I’m so darn happy to have found someone who can introduce me to more Seinen stuff. I thought it was pretty darn cool how we clicked so fast and could sit side-by-side for 30 minutes (would’ve been longer if we didn’t have to leave) chatting nonstop about manga with comparatively mature themes and content. This manga was recommended by a friend I made really recently who shares a pretty similar bias towards the Seinen manga genre. One thing I love about having a hobby like cosplay is that it’s really easy to make new friends.
