Since the earliest times, a single element has shaped human history: the conflict between ninjas and yakuzas. This gritty and bold manga showcases two representatives from these opposing factions, spilling blood in modern Tokyo to determine which force shall prevail!

A new thrilling action series, reminiscent of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure crossed with Fist of the North Star!
