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!

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. 19-20.  THE MACABRE MAMBO The music rings out, and the dance of death begins.

The strings swell, and the moment approaches: A duel between the uncanny assassin Akira and the globetrotting killer Azami!

What will be the fate of Yoko and Misaki? As the rhythm shifts, what next deadly steps does Yamaoka have planned?

The drums thunder in the dark as the climax draws closer to the mercenaries’ hideout!
