* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Doug, a Twilight wielding kukris, who [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy (of course)]] isn't [[OlderThanTheyLook actually a child.]]

An anime adaptation by {{Creator/Manglobe}} began airing in July as part of the Summer 2015 season. {{Creator/Funimation}} releases subbed episodes for members to stream.

* NoEnding: The anime ends on a very abrupt note with viritually nothing resolved. And due to Manglobe going bankrupt, a second season is most likely never happening. So those who wants to know what happens next will have no choice but to pick up the manga.

----

* SpiritualSuccessor: To the ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' anime series and, to a lesser extent, Black Lagoon.

* STDInmunity: Both Alex and Worick are prostitute and gigolo respectively, but they're shown to be quite healthy and in peak condition. No sign of AIDS, Syphilis or anything nasty, common in the work.

* MonochromeCasting: Averted; so far we've seen black, white and Asian people in the cast and throughout Ergastulum.

* TattooedCrook: Worick and Nicolas have tribal tattoos on the back of their necks.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: So far... Chad the police officer, Daniel of the Monroe family, Big Mama Georgiana the madame and Loretta of the Cristianos.

** And later, [[spoiler:the Twilight mercenaries from the Paulkee Guild are slaughtered by just two Hunters, including Doug]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: The TV series has become this to ''Manga/BlackLagoon''.[[SubvertedTrope Not so much in the case of the manga, however]]. (Both are still running.)

* OoCIsSeriousBusiness: Did Nicolas just [[SilentBob speak?]] Has Worick stopped acting like a HandsomeLech? SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

** [[spoiler:Nicolas' dad doesn't think of him as human, and treats him like he's eventual garbage to throw away.]]

''Gangsta.'' is a {{Seinen}} action manga written and drawn by Kohske. It's set in [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield what appears to be a Mediterranean country]] and follows the exploits of two NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters, Nicolas and Worick. You see, Nicolas and Worick are "Benriya," ("Handyman") 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.
