''Gangsta'' is a {{Seinen}} action manga written and drawn by Kosuke. It's set in a [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign possibly Mediterranean country]] and follows the exploits of two NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters, Nicolas and Worick. You see, Nicolas and Worick are "Benriya," ("utility man") bodyguards-for-hire. They take jobs from gangs to prostitutes to cops and everyone in between. While on a job, they cross paths with Alex, a former prostitute and hire her as their secretary.
