Black Lagoon #1
This first volume of Kazé's French-language edition of Black Lagoon collects the opening chapters of Rei Hiroe's gritty action manga. It introduces the crew of the Black Lagoon, a mercenary delivery service operating in the lawless underworld of Southeast Asia, as they take on dangerous jobs and clash with rival criminals. The volume establishes the series' signature blend of violent gunfights, dark humor, and morally ambiguous characters like Rock, Revy, and Dutch.
The story begins in the shadowy world of international crime, where a stolen compact disk becomes the center of a deadly game. When a Japanese company’s low-level manager is sent to Indonesia to negotiate for the disk’s return, he finds himself caught between rival gangs and a ruthless mercenary band hired by a Russian syndicate. Written by Rei Hiroe and Dan Kanemitsu, with art by Hiroe and inks by a team including B-River and John Hunt, the issue sets a gritty, high-stakes tone from the first page. The cover, penciled and inked by Rei Hiroe, captures the tension with a stark, cinematic presence.
