CITY OF DARKNESS (manga)



    I don't know exactly the specific era of the story but I am certain that it happens last century, specifically 1960s to 1990s. The story is about the triads in Hong Kong. Baoli, being the most powerful and where our hero affiliate gang. As the story rises, the plot will include amazing feats of betrayal and revenge. Turf war and hunger for honor and power in the streets will always be present and Kung Fu, too.

     On how the story progresses it was like Mario Puzo write it in different settings. Chen luo jun our main character tries to expand the already vast empire of Boss (His name is not mentioned, or I just forgot) to solidify their power at Hong Kong. Boss being cautious and violent scheme to kill Chen Luo Jun, the execution is perfect except on one thing, Chen survived the assault. After that Chen seek refuge on the so called, "City of Darkness" protected by TORNADO -- Boss' arch-nemesis.

     Story-wise, the twist of the plot is truly a page-turner and when it come to art the colored pages of the Comics is great, it is similar to other American Comics particularly marvel. Fight scenes is not that bad but it is not the strength of this comics. The story of friendship, vengeance and honor in the streets of Hong Kong. As for the city of darkness, it is true that there is a walled city in Hong Kong.
