Crying Freeman

Yo Hinomura serves as a lethal assassin for the 108 Dragons, a powerful Chinese mafia syndicate. Within the criminal underworld, he is feared as the Crying Freeman, a killer notorious for shedding tears over the fate of his victims. Though young, handsome, and sensitive by nature—with a soul inclined toward art—Yo has been hypnotically conditioned by his Dragon masters to kill on command. While he is powerless to resist their orders to take lives, his masters are equally unable to stop the tears of remorse that follow each act.
