Black Lagoon's Best Girl Gets Her Own Spin-Off
By Yung Namahage • 4 years ago

I fucking love Black Lagoon, y'know. The sheer pants-wetting action, objectively great English dub, badass characters including girls that know how to kick ass and aren't just there to sit and look kawaii are just a few reasons I'd put it in my top 5. That said, I only really checked it out recently after a guy at a party recommended it to me, but I remember seeing it across the internet during its heyday in the late 2000s, around the time the anime debuted. While that may have been before my initiation into the weeb fold, I was experimenting with my sexual tastes around then and began my long descent into the world of hentai. It may have been years until I actually checked out the series, I strongly remember coming across (and cumming to) a certain chainsaw-wielding, striped socks-wearing, scar-having goth waifu, Frederica Sawyer.

I love boss bitch types like Balalaika and have a soft spot for batshit crazy chicks like Revy and Roberta but I'd proudly proclaim Sawyer as best girl any day. Cute goth aesthetic aside, girls with tired-looking eyes are a turn-on for me and with all those scars you get the feeling that she's been through a lot, including having her throat slit and needing to speak through an electrolarynx. I'd love to just hug and protect her, but since she's Roanapur's cleaner and cuts up bodies (living or dead) on a daily basis she certainly knows how to take care of herself. It's a shame she only appears a few times in the original series, but we'll be seeing a lot more of her soon.


While the Black Lagoon manga is ongoing it has almost Berserk levels of hiatus, but it's finally getting new content in the form of a Sawyer-centric spin-off by Tatsuhiko Ida (XBlade, Beauty but Beast, Re:CREATORS: Chikujoin-san Hashagisugi). Black Lagoon: Soji-ya Sawyer - Kaitai! Gore Gore Musume (Black Lagoon: Sawyer the Cleaner - Dismemberment! Gore Gore Girl) is coming to Monthly Sunday Gene-X starting September 19. It'll focus on Sawyer's freelance cleaning work but it's likely it'll have a few appearances from some other fan favorites, such as Shenhua or Lotton the Wizard. But as long as the world has more Sawyer I'll be happy.
