However, the comedy's emphasis on crassness when it comes to elements of sexuality may be off-putting to some, notably the introduction of the dildo-wielding Zombie hinting at him torturing his troops with his fav toy in lewd ways. Looking at “Gang King” through a comedic lens, the manga is an undeniable success in the way it balances dark/crass humor and establishes strong personalities that have their own amusing quirks. There are other notable characters and the first volume even sees a dildo-wielding foe turn into a comrade, hinting that the series cast will continue to grow in amusing ways. Then there is Psyko, my personal favorite, a wannabe with a comical haircut meant to instill fear that only results in him being the butt of jokes. Ruling as a ‘calm and cool' leader, the only time Jimmy becomes uncontrollably angry is when the art of tattoos itself is made a mockery. This includes the king himself, Jimmy, whose obsession with tattoos acts as the catalyst for his status and many outbursts. However, those looking for entertainment in the genre are certain to be pleased with the offerings in the inaugural volume of “Gang King” as it offers absurdity in abundance, thanks to the uproarious personas that make up the gangs.
