Black Lagoon

Set sail for the lawless seas of Southeast Asia with Black Lagoon, a gritty crime saga published by Panini Brasil from 2008 to 2010. This nine-issue series follows the crew of the titular torpedo boat, a band of mercenary pirates who take on dangerous jobs in the underworld of Roanapur. Known for its intense action and morally complex characters, the series is most closely associated with creator Rei Hiroe, whose hard-boiled storytelling and detailed art define this high-octane, neo-noir adventure. It stands as a key work in the late-2000s manga-influenced crime genre, offering a visceral, unflinching look at the lives of outlaws.
