.:Cowboy Bebop:.
Cowboy Bebop should be very familiar to most anime fans since it is a wildly popular series that has spawned one video game (second videogame will be out sometime this year), a movie, and two manga series. The first manga to try to cash in on this huge popularity was Cowboy Bebop: Shooting Star. It failed to obtain the quality that the anime had. Thankfully, we have a much better manga to quench our thirst for the tails of the Bebop and her crew.

The background, as most of you know, centers around the trials and tribulations of four bounty hunters, their dog Ein, and their mysterious pasts. Like the anime there is no heavily recurring plot, it goes from one great story to another. The story easily fills the boots left by the anime and follows the Bebop pattern of entertaining cat and mouse games. Even if you never saw the show you can easily love this manga. Yutaka Nanten has earned my respect as a manga writer because of the great stories he provides.

If you were worried that the art would not be as good as in the name than you are wrong. This is some of the best art in a manga I have ever seen. Not only does it look as good as the anime, it looks even better. Even those who don't like manga can appreciate the art and stories of Cowboy Bebop. The art could impress even the pickiest of anime critics.

All in all I am in love with this manga. My only problem is its too short at only three books. I highly suggest that if you love Cowboy Bebop or not you should pick this manga up as soon as possible.
