Midoban (his grandmother was German) is blessed
with the "Unrighteous Eye" (Jagan) -- a strange power to make others
hallucinate for a single minute, simply by looking them in the eye.
Ginji Amano is also gifted. The "thunder lord" (Raitei) enables him to
create electricity inside his body. They call themselves "Get Backers"
and make a living by retrieving anything that has been taken away.
Working in the back streets of Shinjuku, there is almost nothing that
they cannot get back. No job is too small or too big -- they will get
back anything from computer games to atomic bombs. You must see the
gripping "Unrighteous Eye" scenes and all the other great action in
this manga. "Get Backers" portrays a complex drama of folk living in
the back streets of Shinjuku and offers a different experience from
other SF manga. This spring, "Get Backers" will be made into a game
for the Game Boy Advanced series. It is the most promising work of the
year.
