    Volume 5 - 1st printing. Written by Buronson. Art and Cover by Ryoichi Ikegami. Framed, nearly executed, and exiled to Malaysia's slums, Japanese assassin Shingo Kusaka joins a group of outcasts in the fight against his elder brother Shunichiro, a power-hungry aristocrat, and the monolithic Chinese Sai crime family. The prize: a gigantic oil strike in Borneo - money and power enough, perhaps, to realize the dream of a united Asia. The current owner: the Kusaka corporation. But who will claim it? Kusaka's CEO, the ruthless Shunichiro, has just resigned in favor of Shingo, the "adopted" black-sheep younger brother whom he long tried to kill. Shunichiro has conceded his great secret - it's Shingo who is the natural son, not him. Blood will tell, but how much more must be spilled? Who will tie the skein of the "strain?" Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 216 pages, B&W. MATURE READERS Cover price $15.95.
