The Fable by Katsuhisa Minami: a manga about a professional killer who goes underground in Osaka as Akira Sato, plus figures of Akira Sato and Yoko Sato.
More about The Fable
The Fable (ザ・ファブル) was written by Katsuhisa Minami and ran from November 2014 to November 2019 in Kodansha's seinen magazine Weekly Young Magazine. The chapters are collected in 22 volumes. The killer known as Fable has to lie low for a year: in Osaka he lives under the name Akira Sato, while his assistant poses as his sister Yoko.
The appeal lies in the contrast between dry comedy and thriller: a professional with a Nighthawk pistol has to find his way in everyday life while the city's underworld stays suspicious. The manga was followed by the sequels The Fable: The Second Contact and The Fable: The Third Secret, two live-action films with Junichi Okada and, since April 2024, an anime series by Tezuka Productions.
The shop carries the German manga volumes as well as figures of Akira Sato and Yoko Sato.
