Kanta Mizuno, AKA Sunabozu, AKA the Desert Punk isn't like most protagonists; he is not particularly likable; in fact he is the sort of person who would leave a child to starve in the desert if he didn't think he could make some money selling them into slavery! He is however a master of his trade and routinely defeats his enemies even when the odds are against him. He does however have a weakness; women
especially ones with large breasts. In particular he is obsessed with Junko Asagiri; a rival who whose breasts are bigger than her head! As first Sunabozu works alone but he soon takes on fourteen year old Taiko as his apprentice (he only agrees to take her on after she shows him a picture that she claims is her large-chested mother). Over the course of the series they get into various scrapes and gradually Taiko becomes more skilled.
This series was a lot of fun; there is plenty of action and Sunabozu is such an amoral person it is funny. The way he behaves around Junko could be seen as sleazy but it is very clear that she is in charge of the situation most of the time as she uses her attributes to get her way. Sunabozu's sidekick Taiko is a good character too; in fact as the series progresses her role grows until she is the main character. This is primarily an action comedy however there are a few darker moments later on. Although Sunabozu's breast obsession is played for laughs it does mean the series isn't really suitable for younger anime fans not that it was aimed at them! I liked the character designs and the backgrounds perfectly captured the desert setting.
