[ Manga Discovery ] Lucky Dog 1 BLAST


Lucky Dog 1 BLAST
by Tennouji and uzuhachi

[ Demographic: SHOUJO-ISH and SHOUNEN-AI-ISH SHOUNEN ]
Mafia Captains are being held in one prison. In order for them to escape, they will need the help of the regular jailbreaker: Lucky Dog
(2 chapters read as of the date this blog entry was posted)

POTENTIAL: B (NICE!) FAVORITISM: 3 Hearts (LIKE)

Motivation: (What Made Me Check It Out)
Bishies in prison clothes! COOL! But... wait...BL game? That that means there might be... eep {Pyro, there isn't really any BL in the manga (so far)} Ah, I can read this then.
Curses: (What Seems to be Bad About It)
ALL of the mafia captain main characters are goodlooking, huh? They even got fashionable prison clothes.
Praises: (What Seems to be Good About It)
Story seems good, and the characters aren't as stereotypical as they appear. I like the variation of their behavior and perspectives on the big mission assigned to them.
I like it that though it has been emphasizing that the regular jailbreaker had been successful in his escapes because of his devil's luck, he doesn't really rely entirely on it. He uses his wits, charm, connections, etc.
Bias: (What's Keeping Me Hooked to It)
Mafia boys *_*
Fangirl: (What I Love in It)
Gian Carlo (so fun) and Giulio (looks adorable) are my favorites so far.
I'm highly amused when Giancarlo does his flirting jokes, and makes Ivan disturbed for that, haha.
Nostalgia: (What It Reminds Me of)
Togainu no Chi (the BL game to manga thing. And I think Lucky DOG's gonna be as violent.)
Overall:
Prisoners here want to get out of prison mainly because it's their order, and they have a bigger mission outside. Hopefully, their opponents (particularly the cops) won't be that easy (they managed to catch such high ranking criminals after all).
So far so good. I think it's very interesting. Hopefully the manga adaptation will focus more on their escape and their adventure out of prison... rather than on the... disturbing parts (I have seen some screencaps from the game, and many of them have the main character being raped o_o;;; wtf)
