    It's an easy to follow manga.

    Don't put any spoilers or speak in riddles if you have to!

    The author uses simple words and doesn't make anything complicated, contrary to many other authors as Masamune Shirow with Ghost in the Shell.

    Like most anime, it started off as a manga.

    Yeah, I read it before buying Vol. 1. I thought it was a gangster-based anime when I saw Sven, so I got interested.

    I've almost read the whole manga on onemanga just today. I'm twitching 'cuz I've been staring at the screen for so long. I can't get ENUFF. Friggin' addicted five pages into the first book. I'm easily addicted to just about anything, though. I'm taking my first break right now. Yey here I am, talking about it. X_X

    Small little summary (trying to avoid spoilers AMAP, and riped directly from wikipedia):

    The story centers on a man named Train Heartnet who withdrew from an elite group of assassins called the the Chronos Numbers to become a Sweeper (a bounty hunter).

    Chronos rules one third of the world's economy through underground control of almost every kind of business. To maintain the balance of the world, Chronos is essential, and therefore, there is the need to have people to protect Chronos. Besides all normal erasers (assassins), there are special elite assassins with Orichalcum-made weapons called the Chrono Numbers (a.k.a Time Guardians). Chrono Numbers have their numbers engraved on their body and their weapon. There were twelve total Chrono Numbers, but when Train Heartnet, an unsurpassable shooter, decided to join Chronos in their cause, the number XIII was founded. No one that was targeted by Train Heartnet, also known as Black Cat, for bringing "bad luck", and his extremely quick movements and attacks, ever survived. The name Black Cat was the most feared among assassins.

    He eventually leaves Chronos (I won't say why, its kinda important), and becomes a sweeper, of all things. He teams up with a guy named Sven, and they go around capturing criminals, living from bounty to bounty, and getting into debt 'cuz of Train's eating habits. . .

    A must read, up there with Deth Noat.

    Love it! I've only read up to volume 5, but I still love it!
    The anime ended after the Eden filler arc. Shame too.
