Dokuro

Set in a dystopian near-future Japan plagued by rampant crime, a powerful and secretive religious organization operates as an invisible hand manipulating society from the shadows. Their most lethal asset is Takeo, their strongest assassin, who was surrendered to the cult by his own fanatical mother during childhood. Stripped of his innocence and molded entirely by his tormentors, he has been forged into a ruthless killing machine. In combat, his fists and feet inflict devastating damage, but his true weapon of choice is a specialized cutting wire used to ensnare and scorch his adversaries. For a man whose entire existence was shaped by cruelty, the path to forgiveness remains forever closed. Denied any conventional means of salvation, Takeo ultimately finds his answer in vengeance—seeking redemption only through the total eradication of the very evil that created him. After betraying the sect, he unleashes his fury upon the organization, systematically hunting down the deadly opponents dispatched to halt his unparalleled rampage. What follows is a dark, visceral tale of retribution as Takeo tears through his former masters to destroy the nightmare he was born from.
