Don’t Think He’d Give Up That Easily…
Telepath Anna had managed to thwart G13’s gun aim and saved her client’s life. However, G13 will not give it up. She figure he’d show up eventually later on. G13 figured out Anna is a telepath from the Soviet clinics used for psychic experiments, in order to weaponize their powers for use in Cold War. G13 eventually outsmarted her and got his man.
G13 came to Sicily to see a priest after he sent out several homing pidgins with rifle pieces tied to their legs. The priest was out for revenge against the two Sicilian brothers for killing his Padre. He paid G13 with stolen bank money for the life of one brother. The priest intended to kill the other brother. How they succeed? Read and find out.

August 7, 2025I honestly have no idea on how I feel about this book. This manga didn't keep me interested because there wasn't much there. So this review will be very short.
What to say about this manga . . . Well, it was okay at best. It wasn’t horrible or anything like that but it wasn’t interesting enough for me to be to want to finish this manga series.
In a nutshell, this is basically James Bond but manga style. The main character is mysterious, a powerful assassin, a ladies man, and a kickass strategist. There’s not much to this guy really. He’s badass and there’s little known about him . . . and that’s about it.
The other characters, they’re not interesting either. I’m not sure you can even all them characters really. They just appear, serve their purpose and that’s it. So as you can see, the character cast is very tiny.
There’s not much to the story either. It’s just the main character taking jobs while also having this mysterious past that no one seems to know. But I do admit that he’s very creative and resourceful on how he gets his job done. Just looking at the strategies he uses is always fun and I do enjoy those parts. The other scenes, not so much.
I can’t find anything else to say about it. It wasn’t bad, you either find it enjoyable or you don’t. For me, I just didn’t find it that interesting.

I had started reading this series last year and then got sidetracked somehow, but I'm trying to get back on track with it.
In the first story, Golgo has to deal with a telepathic spy. In the second, he deals with some old school Mafia types in Italy. Good action manga.
