The Fable

A manga about a legendary hitman known as ‘The Fable’ who is ordered by his boss to live quietly as a normal person for one year.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

Love this series. Katsuhisa Minami has a very particular art style that mixes realistic body proportions with expressive faces. It works perfectly as we follow this elite killer awkwardly assumes the role of an average joe. It’s hilarious to see him interact with his boss and coworkers at his part-time job while finding joy watching the third-rate comedian Jackal. Minami does a great job transitioning seamlessly into action scenes and some serious drama. It allows our assassin to use his ridiculously overpowered skills to protect people around him without them even noticing.

This series ended part 1 in 2019 and part 2 is set to start later this year. I’ll definitely be checking that out.
