Attached: 2 images #MangaMonday “The Fable” by Katsuhisa Minami “Akira Sato” has been trained since childhood to be an assassin, and he’s very good—perhaps TOO good. His boss orders him to lay low for a year, on pain of death. He and his driver—now “sister”—are given safe houses by an Osaka yakuza group that owes his organization a favor. However, the yakuza are having their own internal problems that threaten to pull the Satos in. This is mostly an Action/Thriller, but Minami adds humor and heart. E.g., Akira’s only pop-cultural touchstone is a low-brow comedian whose attempt to branch out into daytime drama is funny in its own right, but provides Akira with inspiration to take his ‘normal life’ seriously. The art is good; Minami has a gift for faces and expressions. There is graphic violence and mostly only incidental nudity but note volume 6 has a sex trafficking plot that gets very explicit. Complete with all 22 volumes in English (Kodansha.) An #Anime is due in April. #Manga #TheFable
