Ichi the Killer (Omnibus) Vol. 2

About

Kakihara has tracked down the man who knows Ichi's identity — and with characteristic brutality, extracts the information. Now he knows who's been killing yakuza, and he knows he's next on the list. Meanwhile, the puppet master behind Ichi's transformation sets the next phase of his plan in motion, and all of Shinjuku prepares for a collision that no one will walk away from cleanly. The second volume of Yamamoto's ultraviolent epic deepens the psychological horror beneath the physical carnage. Each character is both predator and prey, trapped in cycles of abuse that the manga traces with surgical precision. The gore is extreme; the emotional architecture is more disturbing than any wound. The continuation of a series that proves the most brutal thing about violence isn't the act — it's the need for it.
