Synopsis
One hitman is feared above all in Japan: the killing machine known as "The Fable." But is he really a tough guy or more of a...weirdo? After a particularly lucrative spree necessitates a break from his life of crime, the Fable faces his hardest assignment ever: living as a normal guy, with a cover story, an apartment, and a pet parrot! An Angouleme Official Selection. It's Way of the Househusband minus the wife and kid, plus one adorable, friendly bird, topped off with a whole lotta blood! Inspired the new anime. Omnibus edition includes Vol. 17-18. The man called The Fable is a self-proclaimed "genius at killing." The mention of his codename strikes fear into the hearts of every yakuza in Japan. His talent has brought him everything he could want: money, respect, purpose. But this is no legend. He's just a man--a rather irritating man who loves stupid jokes and bad TV. THE BIG FISH IS DEAD The boss of the Maguro group is dead, poisoned by an assassin hired by the ambitious and vicious Sunagawa. But there’s another agenda operating in these dark waters. Yamaoka, a dangerous and fearless officer from the organization of killers that raised Akira, is planning a feeding frenzy to flood Taihei with blood. Predators are closing in on the Sato siblings—who are still supposed to be “on vacation!”—from all sides. But this crisis might become an opportunity Yoko never thought she would see, to exact revenge with her life on the line…
