In a futuristic Neo-Tokyo, crime is rising rapidly in the wake of a new generation of super-drugs capable of enhancing the user’s physical and mental abilities. Hajime Tsukomo is a new recruit on a federal task force trained to go after these powered-up criminals. Now he must team up with Zeroichi, a so-called Hanger looking to reduce his own jail sentence in exchange for helping to take down these chemically-boosted bad guys.With Neo-Tokyo's most wanted criminal organization — Nine-Tails — on the loose and active once again, everyone in the Security Service is on high alert. The Hanger program has always been met with some distrust from other law enforcement teams, but as tensions rise in the wake of Nine-Tails' destructive terrorism, Squad 4's Hangers and Keepers will have to work harder than ever to maintain the trust between them... and each other.
I was very excited about this volume because it had a lot of potential and it definitely lived up to my expectations. There's a fair amount of violence, flirtation, development, and the characters are just on point regarding their role in the story. It started a little slow, with not as much content or development as I would have preferred, but it caught up in no time.
After the first chapters, the conspiracy elements take more importance, the characters start to change, and the pace just gets faster. I lost track of time while reading Hanger Vol. 3 and I promise I'm not exaggerating when I say it surprised me when I was done, just when things were getting wild. Talk about a massive shock.
The art is still beautiful, clean and detailed, with very few panels that don't look that good for me, or a dialogue that doesn't sound very natural. However, there are many pages that are beautiful with lots of information that complement what the script has already told us. I would say the last ones are by far the best ones
I really want to know what happens after this. Hanger Vol. 3 had me smiling and laughing, but also made me nervous about what would happen with the characters. They are perceived as monsters, but at this point, and especially after this volume, it's impossible not to sympathize with the Hangers we've met so far. What started as a funny story became intense in no time, and I'm all up for it!
