The Fable

Fable is a legendary yakuza hitman, equal to none. Suddenly his boss orders him and his sultry associate to lay low and live a ‘normal life’ because “top assassins need that skill.” While undercover he meets the charming Misaki who gets him a delivery job. Meanwhile, recent convict Kojima overdoses on hubris, stirring up the underworld and endangering Misaki. Fable is forced into action in order to rescue her. A picture-perfect antihero-comedy manga adaptation, The Fable is a vibrant pastiche of kinetic storytelling, wry humor, nail biting suspense and hyperbolic action that cannot be missed!
