SMUGGLER
Grade 9 Up Kinuta, a young actor, is down on his luck as he works for Yakuza mobsters to repay a debt. He transports bodies and becomes involved in a bad deal by caring about a man who he is taking to certain death. Gritty illustrations emphasize the ugliness of this underground world. This manga title might appeal to reluctant readers, but neither the plot nor the graphics are particularly compelling.Corinda J.
