Contract Of Death: Blood and Inheritence

Kenji Kuroda died at 2:47 in the morning. His cousin Eiji was the last person he called. Eiji Kuroda returns to Fukuoka knowing one thing: Kenji’s death was not an accident. The network that killed him spent years building itself invisible — no single point of exposure, every node deniable, the top of the chain separated from the bottom by enough layers that nothing could ever be proved. Eiji doesn’t go to the police. He assembles a crew of seven and starts at the bottom. Contract of Death is a dark action series set in contemporary Japan. Seven people dismantling a criminal network one layer at a time — each arc revealing something more dangerous than the last, each win costing something that doesn’t come back. Found family built through shared work and shared loss. An antagonist who is correct about things the protagonist cannot dismiss. A question asked in the prologue that won’t be answered until Volume VI. Tonal comparisons: Jujutsu Kaisen × Banana Fish × Attack on Titan Volume I is complete. Volume II is in progress.
