The black lagoon manga is great but a bit of a waste of time for me. The anime adaptation is one of my favourite shows of all time because it's absolutely amazing. This manga is pretty great too but in all honesty I was just reading it to see any stuff that wasn't in the anime. So I started from the beginning and the artwork is really nice and packed with swearing which I like.

The action is really nice to look at although it seems a bit packed if you ask me. Having all the gunfire and explosions packed into multiple tiny panels was a bad idea.

I also like the way the arcs are titled. With other manga arcs the titles never indicate when an arc starts and ends but here they full on part them. For example, Bloodsport Fairytale parts 1-6 and Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise parts 1-16. Speaking of which I really appreciated the Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise arc a lot more thanks to this manga.

Now as I get to the El Baile de la Muerte arc I began to lose interest as the pacing slowed down dramatically as every chapter became packed with wall of text syndrome. So I skipped to the next arc that wasn't adapted and the same issue persists hence why I've dropped it. And since I hear this manga has a hiatus issue then what's the point?
But I'm not dropping it because I hate it, I fucking love black lagoon I just got fatigued due to the later arcs' pacing.
