Brunette, equally hip, bespectacled and rambunctious, Ban Mido has the mystically mysterious 'Evil Eye,' the power to create illusions in the minds of his foes. Together, they are the GetBackers, the best retrieval team in the world. They can get back anything taken from clients, and their success rate is (almost) 100%! However, first they have to get some clients—and soon—or this spry detective duo will starve on the streets!(Source: Tokyopop)BackgroundThe first 28 volumes of GetBackers were published in English by Tokyopop from February 10, 2004, to March 10, 2009, until their license with Kodansha expired.Related Entries  MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters Reviews  Jan 23, 2016 I could talk about the story, the characters, even the art, but I guess my colleagues here could sum up pretty well everything I could say. One thing that I'd like to point out - and it is what really draw me to the manga - is the amount of subjects that they bring (I, myself, am re-reading the manga and I am writing down all those mentions). Do you wanna know about art? There's an arc about Van Gogh and Venus de Milo (and if you are willing to search everything they say you will have to search about Cezanne, Gaguin...). You want to... know about classical music? Mozart is mentioned and the legendary violin made by Stradivarius (which is not so amazing after some researched I've done about it). There are biblical mentions, witch hunt, there is seriously too much to know about here, if you are a curious person, if you like to learn about the most random things (and you are willing to search further everything that you read in the manga) I'd recommend you to read it.

Overall a enjoyable manga, that shows the bonds of friendship and thrusting one another, give it a shot! Reviewer’s Rating: 9 What did you think of this review? Nice0 Love it0 Funny0 Confusing0 Informative0 Well-written0 Creative0Show all  Jun 2, 2013 I remember they used to sell like a thousand volumes of this in Borders. If I wanted a reference point to finding new things, the safest way I could put it is "find me the OPPOSITE of Getbackers." It's pretty much as much of a mindlessly pumped out cynical product as a series can get; very slick, professional art, but mostly used to emphasize full page "fanservice" (that's what kids today call tits and lady underwear, right?). Plot's neither here nor there for the most part, things are obviously made up as the story goes along, but without the grace of even the most generic... 100+ volume action titles. Characters couldn't get much more stock, like, there's this "dark and mysterious" guy with a fedora and a black coat who uses little surgical knives. His name is... Raven or something? Raven McCrow? Am I describing a real character, or your roleplaying forum character you made when you were 11? FUCK GETBACKERS. Reviewer’s Rating: 1 What did you think of this review?
