Toshio Ikari is young, strong, and consumed by vengeance. When the Inago Clan destroyed his family, they created something they can't control — a warrior with nothing left to lose and everything to prove.
Armed with fury and joined by unlikely allies — a thumbless thief, twin giants, a mysterious assassin, and a battle-scarred mentor — Toshio cuts a path through feudal Japan's criminal underworld toward the one man who took everything from him: Shogun Jigoku.
But vengeance is a blade that cuts both ways. And the people who follow Toshio into the darkness may not all make it out.
Young, stubborn, and so consumed by vengeance it puts everyone around him in danger. Blue eyes that have seen too much. A blade that won't stop until the Inago Clan burns.
A thumbless thief who calls himself Toshio's best friend before Toshio even knows his name. Makes origami without thumbs. Would follow Toshio to the ends of the earth — and probably will.
A pretty young waitress in the village noodle shop. Also the area's most lethal assassin. The duality is the point.
Identical in size. Opposite in everything else. Shin never shuts up. Sho rarely smiles. Both are absolutely lethal — and they know it.
An older warrior whose history of combat is written across his body. He knows how to destroy the Shogun. He just needs Toshio to stop fighting alone long enough to listen.
Head of the Inago Clan. Controls through fear. His power is in what he doesn't say. When he finally speaks, people die.

A stranger walks into a noodle shop, gets drunk on sake, and declares he'll destroy the most powerful crime syndicate in feudal Japan. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
Toshio can't do it alone — even if he thinks he can. A mentor with secrets, twin brothers with fists like hammers, and a heist that goes sideways.
The battle for Okada. Toshio leads the fight he's been building toward — but vengeance doesn't always let you be the one to strike the final blow.
The world expands. The stakes rise. Shogun Jigoku finally enters the story — and nothing will be the same.
