PLOT:

Gungrave takes place in an undisclosed town that feels and looks like somewhere in Europe. The series focuses on a group of friends that tries, by committing petty crimes, to earn enough money and to perhaps, one day, become high in the social scale. However, the world of crime is very cruel and it will wait patiently to find a good opportunity to crush you once and for all. Sooner or later the two protagonists will have to pay for entering this cruel domain; they will pay a very high price, but, in the end, they will find a way out. The group of friends, of brothers, achieves their dream and they become members of an influential mafia organization. This organization is powerful enough to control everything. Gungrave is a story of how power and influence change people.
