Summary:
Okajima Rokuro - now known almost exclusively as 'Rock' - was once a typical, put-upon Japanese businessman. Then, on a routine business trip, he was kidnapped and ransomed by the Lagoon Company: a band of mercenary pirates operating out of the crime-riddled city of Roanapur. Abandoned by his bosses, he joined the Lagoon Company. Now he must try and stay afloat amongst the ever-shifting politics of the criminal underworld, while simultaneously avoiding death at the hands of his quick-tempered, gun-toting co-worker, 'Two Hand' Revy.
The story is ultimately random yet stringed together due to the profession of the cast. A rather likable group of wild individuals that live in a world with a bunch of crazies. Heck whats not to like? Clever written dialogue throughout the series. The makers use a lot of references for jokes or analogies which involves celebrities or well-known places, etc.
