Baccano! Manga

Baccano! weaves together a series of intersecting stories as events spiral into increasingly chaotic confusion. Its title means “noise” in Italian, though the word is rendered here as “stupid commotion.” The stories bring together immortal alchemists, mafia-run speakeasies, and other elements of pulp fiction in a world with a cinematic feel. Their characters and plots begin separately, then cross paths as the commotion grows.
