Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail anime during the July 1-4 event in Los Angeles.
Hiroe created the original manga about a typical Japanese businessman who gets caught up in the escapades of modern-day pirate mercenaries off the shores of Asia. The manga has sold over 4.5 million in copies in Japan, and Shook Up!, and Phantom Bullet.
