Welcome to the Dark Streets of No Guns Life#
If you are looking for a series that blends grit, mystery, and high-octane action, No Guns Life is a compelling choice. The story follows Juzo Inui, a man with no memory of his past and a very distinct physical trait: his head has been replaced by a giant gun. Working as a “Resolver” in the city’s shadowed underbelly, Juzo takes on the jobs that others won’t, navigating a world where science fiction meets a hard-boiled aesthetic.
For those drawn to the noir theme, the atmosphere of this series is its strongest selling point. It is best suited for audiences who enjoy cyberpunk-adjacent settings, mystery-driven plots, and action-packed encounters. If you’re ready to dive in, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to experience Juzo’s world for yourself.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When asking “Is the anime finished?”, the answer depends on what you mean by “finished.”
While there is a sequence of anime releases, including a sequel that arrived in July 2020, the source material—the manga by Tasuku Karasuma—ran from September 2014 all the way until September 18, 2021. Because the manga concludes its story across 13 volumes, those who watch only the anime may find themselves wanting more.
If you are looking for a truly satisfying and complete conclusion to Juzo’s journey, you will likely need to continue with the source material. To get the full story, we highly recommend you buy the No Guns Life manga.
