Roppen

The deadliest game begins: six assassins, one throne. In the far west of Yamaguchi Prefecture lies Roppen Houkoku, a ruthless dictatorship. To decide its next ruler, the nation announces a savage contest: six assassins will battle until only one remains. But among them enters Shifu, the man feared as the Assassin-Killer. In this unforgiving death match, can he carve his way to survival or will he be swallowed by the blood-soaked game of kings? (Source: Shogakukan, translated and edited)
