Firstly you have to be aware that this was written by Fujisawa Tohru, who was the mangaka for GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA. so theres a plus right there.

The story is really pretty solid , with a decent plot ,good character development humor and plenty of action and beware there is quite a bit of gore.

Our heroine is a unique character , whose experiences make for an interesting read , to say the very least.Not every day do you find a gun toting high schooler babe , taking out bad guys for the police using rubber bullets.

The story remains all in all pretty upbeat , despite at time dealing with some very dark or depressingly morbid topics or issues.Though indeed is also part of the tale.

To really appreciate the story properly though ,you have to read the prequel first , Rose hip Rose zero. it just put everything in place.I also happen to like this one better than that one as well.

To be honest , rose hip rose zero , gives a lot of the background and it has a more familiar feel to GTO, as well.

I enjoyed it and cant wait to see Rose Hip rose magnum , which will complete the series.
