Why read it?

1 author picked Black Gypsies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There’s a point in countless anime fight scenes where characters engaged in combat are moving so fast, the background becomes nothing but harsh pencil strokes drawn from one corner of the frame to the other.
Black Gypsies
contains many scenes with this level of frenetic energy. A fast, pulpy thrill ride that is equal parts colorful, gritty, and sexy.

From Kelby's list on that feel like watching anime.
