Fable Omnibus Vol. 5-6

Revised Content:

In the Japanese underworld, there is one hitman who instills fear above all others: the notorious "Fable," a ruthless killing machine. But is this fearsome assassin truly a tough guy, or is there more to him than meets the eye? After a particularly lucrative killing spree, the Fable decides to take a break from his life of crime and faces his most challenging assignment yet: living a normal life, complete with a cover story, an apartment, and an unexpected companion – a pet parrot.

Imagine Way of the Househusband, but without the wife and child, and instead, an adorable, friendly bird. However, this isn't a simple tale of domestic bliss; it's a story filled with blood and violence, inspired by the new anime adaptation.

The "boogieman" of the Japanese underworld, the Fable, has decided to lay low in Osaka for a year, taking a break from his murderous profession. Surprisingly, he finds this "normal life" rather enjoyable. He's made a new feathered friend, and his neighbor, Misaki, has even managed to get him a job at the small design company where she works, doodling childish cartoons for a meager hourly wage.

As Misaki saves up to open her own shop, she becomes entangled in a trap set by a local yakuza member, who forces her into sex work. The Fable now faces a dilemma: how far can he go to save Misaki, without breaking the vow he made to his boss to avoid using deadly force, even when someone truly deserves it?

This omnibus edition includes Volumes 5-6, promising a thrilling and unexpected journey as the Fable navigates the challenges of living a "normal" life while still being the feared "Fable" of the Japanese underworld.
