As children, Akira Hojo and Chiaki Asami survived the horrors of the killing fields of Cambodia. Now young men, they vow to transform the destiny of Japan, by any means necessary. In this, the sixth volume of the erotically charged saga of political corruption, Asami and Hojo face life-threatening challenges in their respective rises to the top of the Japanese parliament and the yakuza crime syndicate. Meanwhile, a yakuza crime war is brewing and the police are hot on Hojo's trail.

I read copious amounts of manga/graphic novels, but this series is the standard by which I judge them all. The story is gripping and complex. The characters are compelling. The gratuitous nudity/rape is very disturbing, but it says something about the writing/artwork when the character responsible for these reprehensible acts becomes my favorite character! This series is stunning. It is truly a must read.
