EDIT: I read about 1 or 2 volumes when I originally made this review and now I've completed reading the whole series. One of the best action manga I've read in awhile. Extremely recommend. All the things in the old review still stand.
Probably rating this way too high (in other people's eyes) but I'm pretty specific with what I like. I barely give any manga a solid 10/10 unless they somehow manage to amaze me to hell and back (not including this one, I gave 8 manga a 10/10.)
I am a sucker for action like this. I'm sure there's many many things out there that

Talk about being SHOCKINGLY good.
For how little there is so far, Candy & Cigarettes is one hell of a read. A fantastic take on the "underground crime scene" type of trope.

The way Raizou even gets in to this business in the first place is almost like a miracle. He has to help his son get treatment for his disease, but he has to earn a million yen a month just to get it. Once he finds a job offer ...

(since this is an early review, my ratings will be lower than usual)
Candy & Cigarettes is a new manga about an old man trying to earn money for his grandchild's medication but soon found himself into a high paying job where he helped a 11 yr old girl and an organization to assassinate high profile people whom were involved a secret criminal organization that operates and corrupt Japan behind the scene.

The Characters overall are solidly written with plenty of likable characters and
