[Read all▲▼] Crying Freeman (manga) [Rating▲▼] Decent [Comment▲▼] 
Crying Freeman is a kind of like a wish fulfilment manga for men. Freeman is kidnapped by the Chinese mafia and indoctrinated into their service as an assassin. He eventually takes over the organization and becomes it's leader. The first volume was the best, but unfortunately the series jumps the shark pretty early in volume two. The situations become increasingly more ridiculous so that they are impossible to take seriously. Freeman is like a Gary Stu, the perfect man who is handsome, excels at everything from art to fighting, and all women (especially his enemies) eventually fall in love with him. By the end he had gathered a harem. One point in the manga's favor was having Ryoichi Ikegami do the art in his photorealistic style. For a manga with so many naked people, at least they were drawn in proportion. The near constant nudity was sometimes laughable though, as characters are alway fighting in the buff for seemingly no reason that makes sense. In the end, this series boils down to nothing more than entertaining schlock. I am not the target audience for sure, but I was interested to see what over the top elements would pop up next and in that regard Crying Freeman didn't disappoint.
