Gunsmith Cats: Return of Gray

Book Description: Gray is back, and the first thing on his agenda is the elimination of a certain pesky bounty hunter named Rally! With her shop robbed, her house ransacked, and Minnie-May taken hostage, Rally has to use every scrap of her skill and daring to take out the very dangerous Gray.
The Race Is On!! This is volume 3 of the Gunsmith Cats series.
The continues the Gray storyline from volume 2: Misfire. Although Gray is behind bars, he is making plans that involve Rally and Minnie May. Rally is forced into the hospital after breaking her ribs in the last volume. Bean has an extended appearance here - about a third of the book at least. Ken Taki makes another brief appearance.
The action sometimes borderlines on believeability, but hey, it's fun. Most of it is possible, just not likely and involve a ton of skill and luck. There seems to be more humor in this volume than in the previous ones. My personal favorite involves Becky walking in while May is a little preoccupied. Becky seems to be a focus of most of the humor this time - just a few moments here and there. Either she does something or something happens to her that's funny. The focus of this manga is action though, and there are plenty of shootouts. You also have a nice, long chase involving Bean.
As I've stated in other reviews, this manga is not for kids. Recommended for mature audiences. Treat this as a good R-rated action story.
If you're a fan of Gunsmith Cats this is one of the best yet I've just finished reading The Return of Grey, and it has all the classic Gunsmith Cats features - sexy stars, edge of the seat action, car chases, gun battles and a pace that doesn't let up. I found it hard to put this one down, and can't wait to start the next book, Goldie vs Misty. I highly recommend The Return of Grey to any GSC fan.
