Summary:
Okajima Rokuro is a Japanese businessman…in a town full of Japanese businessmen. His normal day consists of social drinking with clients and being kicked around by his bosses. He finally gets a break though, as he’s sent by his company to the tropical seas of Eastern China to deliver a disc…only his boat gets hijacked by a band of mercenaries that were hired to steal it. “Rock” (as he is newly dubbed by his captors) catches the interest of the only female merc “Revy” as she thinks he’s worth a ransom, taking him hostage. However, the disc turns out to be more trouble than its worth, and complicates things both for Rock, and the mercenaries known as Black Lagoon.

Good characters, and very original story line.. I would have liked the main character to at least carry a weapon but I guess his intelligence makes up for his lack of man strength. Side stories definitly keep you entertained and strung along. This is not a fanservice anime so dont look for it. finished it in 2 days. Not exactly what you would call a light series due to some lengthy dialog but balanced out pretty well, and whats there not to like about modern day pirates and crazy russians?? =-)
