This was one of my favorite volumes so far. One story dealt with a traitor who cost many innocent men their lives, and then cut a deal to get away with it. Golgo 13 gets paid to make sure that doesn't happen. The other story involves a plot to replace the Pope.
However, lest I forget this is one weird ass series, there are several pages at the end dealing with Golgo 13's sex life. There is literally a huge chart detailing the races, occupations, and sexual positions of all his sexual encounters. Someone really put some time into it, too. Just bizarre.

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.

Always remember certain rules…
One Minute Past Midnight: Russian agent, Yuri has eluded the surveillance, and was off the radar. He was buying time to hire G13 to liquidate a certain target that will affect a certain execution of his cold blooded killer, his brother. Yuri knew the CIA had a hand in swaying the decision to either stay the execution or not.
The Knights of Solomon, a Masonic sect, discovered the truth of Pope’s kidnap, and being replaced with a double. They knew the KGB was behind it, or least suspected it. They hired G13 for the job of infiltrating and eliminating certain parties responsible. They made the mistake of bringing a double of Golgo 13 as par for the course. Which he quickly dispatched with gun. He made it clear that he won’t tolerate impersonators, and won’t like any clones.
Still entertaining as always.

This has not aged well, at all. It is beginning to bore me
