''No Guns Life'' is a {{Cyberpunk}} manga written and illustrated by Tasuku Karasuma set some time in the future after a conflict called [[GreatOffscreenWar The Great War]]. It takes place in a [[CityWithNoName nameless city]] controlled by a MegaCorp called Beruhren. Tensions are evident between normal people and {{cyborg}}s called Extended.

The story follows one such Extended named Juzo Inui, who literally has a gun for a head, among other implants. Juzo works as "Resolver" for issues involving the Extended. One day, a Renegade Extended carrying an unconscious little boy stumbles into his office on the run from the Security Bureau, begging for help. Though reluctant to get involved with such a matter, Juzo agrees, only to learn that things are far more complicated than they seem.

!!'''This manga features the following tropes:'''

* ArtificialLimbs: A staple, to the point that people without any enhancements have a hard time competing for jobs involving physical labor.
* AdviceBackfire: Juzo tells Tetsuro to throw tantrums like the kid of he is instead of resigning himself to his fate. Not long afterwards, Tetsuro takes that advice and [[BodySnatcher uses Harmony on Juzo]] when Juzo makes a decision he disagrees with.

* ArtificialLimbs: Plenty of folks have cybernetics, most prominently replacements for limbs - to the point that it's easier to count characters without any extensions.

* BackAlleyDoctor: Mary. She does work on Extended using her mechanical genius.

* EvilInc: Behruren, full stop. Just to hammer the point home, in one instance they attempt to trick a terrorist organization trying to kill Behruren executives into blowing up an [[ChildrenAreInnocent orphan choir]] instead, when they could just as easily have tricked the terrorists into blowing up an empty train car.

* RacialFaceBlindness: Theodore attacks Juzo thinking he's another Gun Slave Unit despite Juzo's repeated attempts to clarify. Once he finally lets Juzo explain, he says that all Gun Slave Units look the same.

* GratuitousEnglish: The story's full title and subtitle. ''No Guns Life: SF hard-boiled the gun smoke drifts muzzle talks''
* GreatOffscreenWar: The Great War so far is only alluded to, not seen.
* MegaCorp: Behruren.

** In addition, the more enhancements you have, the more likely you are to get nerve paralysis.

* BackAlleyDoctor: Mary. She does work on the Extended using her mechanical genius.

* BackAlleyDoctor: Mary.

* CentralTheme: The difference between a person and a tool, and how a person's value is more than just what they do.. Juzo and Tetsuro both do not want to be seen or treated as tools to anyone, while the villains see everything and everyone as cogs to machines that are replaceable and only matter as far as they're useful.

* [[IdenticalLookingAsians Identical-Looking Cyborgs]]: Theodore attacks Juzo thinking he's another Gun Slave Unit despite Juzo's repeated attempts to clarify. Once he finally lets Juzo explain, he says that all Gun Slave Units look the same.

* ArtShift: The ending animations are mostly animated in CGI with 2D elements, the [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects inverse]] is true for the show itself, as the vehicles and even several backgrounds are rendered in 3D. With the credits touting the use of [[GameEngine Unreal Engine]] for the rendering.

* RatedMForManly: A cyborg with a gun for a head is pretty darn manly. An [[DarkAndTroubledPast amnesiac]], [[SmokingIsCool chain-smoking]], [[BadAssLongcoat trenchcoat-wearing]], [[BruiserWithASoftCenter stoic but secretly caring]] {{Cyborg}} [[(ImprobablyCoolWeapon with a gun for a head!)]] who works as a private contractor dealing with issues even the police have trouble with is even manlier.

* AntiHero: Juzo is a mercenary who's OnlyInItForTheMoney, but nevertheless comes across as fairly principled and he protects other Extended knowing it's a thankless task.

* ArtificialLimbs: Plenty of folks have cybernetics, most prominently replacements for limbs - to the point that it easier to count characters without any extensions.

* {{Cyborg}}: The Extended. Juuzo himself, in particular, seems to have a ''lot'' of enhancements compared to others. He's specifically noted to be an older model from the Great War.

* RatedMForManly: A cyborg with a gun for a head is pretty darn manly. An [[DarkAndTroubledPast amnesiac]], [[SmokingIsCool chain-smoking]], [[BadAssLongcoat trenchcoat-wearing]], [[BruiserWithASoftCenter stoic but secretly caring cyborg]] (with a gun for a head!) who works as a private contractor dealing with issues even the police have trouble with is even manlier.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: ''Poorly made'' cybernetics can cause mental damage.

* EvilInc: Behruren, full stop. Just to hammer the point home, in one instance they attempt to trick a terrorist organization trying to kill Behruren executives into blowing up an orphan choir instead, when they could just as easily have tricked the terrorists into blowing up an empty train car.

* AbosluteCleavage: [[UpToEleven Practically all of the female cast]] outside of Mary and Christina.

* ArtificialLimbs: A staple, to the point that people without any enhancements have a hard time competing for jobs that involve physical labor.

* ArmCannon: Juzo's left arm can turn into a revolver. A number of other Extended have this as well.

** Olivier's habit of carrying around extremely smell canned food comes in handy when she opens a can in front of a group of pursuing EMS officers, who panic thinking it's a toxic gas.

* RatedMForManly: A cyborg with a gun for a head is pretty darn manly. An [[DarkAndTroubledPast amnesiac]], [[SmokingIsCool chain-smoking]], [[BadAssLongcoat trenchcoat-wearing]], [[BruiserWithASoftCenter stoic but secretly caring]] cyborg (with a gun for a head!) who works as a private contractor dealing with issues even the police have trouble with is even manlier.

* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler: Juzo's cigarettes]], which is an unusual usage of them even for Extended.

* ArmCannon: Juzo's left arm can turn into a revolver.

* ChekhovsGun: Juzo's gun head has a trigger, which he can't pull on his own. At the end of the first volume, he tells Tetsuro to do so.

* KissOfLife: Olivier to Juzo during the fight with [[spoiler:Armed]], although instead of oxygen she's sharing cigarette smoke.

* RatedMForManly: A cyborg with a gun for a head is pretty darn manly.
* SmokingIsCool: Juzo. Presumably Extendeds don't have to worry about lung cancer.

* SuperSoldier: Implied with Juzo, considering the vast amount of combat cybernetic enhancements he has.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Juzo constantly worries about getting wet and rusting his head, even though he isn't sure if he'll rust or not. That and he requires someone to fire the trigger on his head.
** In general, all Extended share the same weakness of their auxiliary brain on the back of their neck, which helps in controlling their enhancements. In addition, the more enhancements you have, the more likely you are to get nerve paralysis.
