TOKYO BLUES
Inspired by Ichi the Killer, this editorial distills the essence of cruelty, control, and compulsion. In the shadows of Tokyo, a yakuza enforcer meets a man whose repressed psychosis may eclipse his own thirst for violence. The city hums with tension as the balance of power shifts in unexpected, excruciating ways.
