Synopsis
One-shot manga: Kinya, brother, and girlfriend flee yakuza with unexpected "extra baggage" after failed boss hit.
This is a one-shot collaboration work by two long-time friends and mangaka. The story is about Kinya, who is on the run from the Japanese mafia, after a failed murder attempt on the yakuza boss. Together with him are his brother, Takuzou and his girlfriend, Aya. But, things are not as simple when they have some… extra baggage along. (Source: MangaHelpers)
