One hitman is feared above all in Japan: the lethal machine known as "The Fable." But is he truly tough or more...strange? After a particularly lucrative stint that demands a break from his life of crime, Fable faces the most challenging mission of his life: to live like a normal person, with a cover, an apartment, and a parrot! It's the Way of the Househusband without the wife and kid, plus an adorable, friendly bird, with a dose of blood! Volumes 3-4 are included in the Omnibus edition. The anime series is coming soon! "Fable," the boogeyman of the Japanese underworld, takes a year off from killings to stay quiet in Osaka, and it turns out that this "normal life" is quite entertaining. He has a new friend (a parrot), and his neighbor Misaki has found him a new job, designing children's cartoons for a small wage at the little design company where she works. But as Misaki saves money to open her own shop, she falls into a sexual work trap set by a member of the local yakuza. How far will Fable go to save her--without breaking the vow he made to his boss to avoid deadly violence, even when someone completely deserves it?
