Unflinching poise in the face of mortal justice—a world free of execution will be sought at the cost of further death.
In this omnibus edition collecting volumes 4-6 of the original manga series, Shin’ichi Sakamoto masterfully fictionalizes the true life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the "Gentleman of Paris," who performed nearly three thousand executions in 18th century France.
What has begun, must be seen to an end. Despite the sorrows of a broken heart, Charles must carry out the execution of the condemned Damiens. Swearing to fulfill his duty mercifully, fate plays a cruel hand, and within the ranks of the Sanson family, one intervenes in a shocking display. With dreams of a future of mercy and flourishing equality, Charles faces the execution of the century.
Available in English for the first time and presented in a special omnibus edition collecting volumes 4-6 of the original Japanese manga series!
