Train Heartnet, also known as "Black Cat," was an infamous assassin for a secret organization called Chronos...until he abandoned that cold-blooded existence to live on his own terms as an easygoing bounty hunter. But is Train's past as far behind him as he thinks?

Train and his partner Sven go after a huge bounty, attempting to track down a weapons smuggler who is dealing dangerous new technology on the black market. They cross paths with an elegant thief who offers to help them, but will the alliance be fruitful, or will the burglar bring bad luck to Black Cat?

This is one of those manga I've been aware of for years and just never took the time to try it out, so I'm glad I decided to finally. This is a fairly strong start with some really interesting main characters and quite a bit of fast-paced action. It really has that early 2000's feel to it which makes it incredibly easy to fall into the groove it settles in, think something similar to Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
