QP

After four years away, Ishida Kotori—known to many as QP—returns to a city where even his mere appearance is enough to unsettle those who cross his path. Determined to leave his brutal history behind and build a straightforward, honest existence, he finds his resolve tested by an old classmate, Azuma Ryou. Now a prominent figure in the city’s underworld, Ryou has very different intentions for QP’s future. This story, penned by Takahashi Hiroshi under the title *QP: Soul of Violence*, unfolds within the same narrative world as his acclaimed works *Crows* and *Worst*.
