Line 2:
''Gangsta'' is a [[Seinen]] action manga written and drawn by Kosuke. It's set in a [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign|possibly Mediterranean country]] and follows the exploits of two [[Neighborhood Friendly Gangsters]], Nicolas and Worick. You see, Nicolas and Worick are "Benriya," ("utility man") bodyguards-for-hire. They take jobs from gangs to prostitutes to cops and everyone in between. While on a job, they cross paths with Alex, a former prostitute and hire her as their secretary.
Not to be confused with [[Gangsta Style]], [[Neighborhood Friendly Gangsters]] or [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be A Gangster!]], though that pops up quite a lot.

Line 66:
* [[Lamarck Was Right]]: Twilights are most often the children and descendants of Celebre users. Celebre was a body modification drug created during wartimes to enhance strength, speed and agility, all of which it did, at the cost of being mostly toxic in large or repeated dosages. Besides gaining physical strength similar to their parents, Twilights are most often affected by genetic, mental and physical deficiencies and are not particularly long-lived (hence the name [[Meaningful Name|"Twilight"]]). Because a Twilight must take Celebre to control their withdrawal symptoms, it's assumed that if a Twilight has children, they will also be Twilights.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Do NOT let Nicolas in your kitchen.
* [[Long
