Synopsis

New York, 1931. The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited by law, but behind this prohibition, organized crime flourishes-so, too, do bank robbers, bootleggers, assassins, and homunculi. Some want money, some are chasing the secret to immortality, and others just want to have a really good time. You know what they say, though: You can't always get what you want.

Goodreads review by Claire on October 16, 2020

It's been 13 years and I'm still angry that this series never got the traction that it deserved. Please give this series a chance if it sounds interesting to you, the storyline is admittedly hard to follow to begin with in both the novel and the anime but it's well worth it, this has been a PSA :D......more
