ノー・ガンズ・ライフ [Nō Ganzu Raifu / No Guns Life] #9

Volume 9 of No Guns Life puts its gritty cyberpunk world front and center, with the series' hulking, gun-headed protagonist looming in the background alongside a massive red mechanized figure, while a determined blonde woman stands her ground between them. The tagline — "The way of life of a man loading a magazine" — perfectly captures the noir-tinged tension that defines this world of Extended humans and their uneasy place in society. Karasuma Tasuku's stark, moody linework makes this a compelling entry in one of manga's more distinctive action series.
