b&w.

There are many players in this complex saga of political agendas and Yakuza underworld entanglements, but the focus is on two brothers, Asami and Hojo, who are described as “handsome, ruthless young men.” Part Three finds Hojo fighting for his life in a hospital after being critically wounded by a fellow Yakuza don, while Asami continues to establish his position in the Diet, the Japanese Parliament. Will Hojo recover? Will Asami bring the Diet under his control? The answers to these questions develop in this beautifully illustrated (The faces alone are exquisite!) and tightly written installment in the Sanctuary saga from Viz Comics.
