Weekly Young Magazine is a Japanese weekly anthology magazine published in Tokyo each Monday by Kodansha. The magazine started on June 16, 1980, and is targeted at the adult male demographic. It was published bimonthly, on the second and fourth Mondays of every month, until switching to a weekly publication in 1989.
Plot Concept: In this seemingly peaceful country, there exists a “hitman’s hitman” who hunts hitmen. As he continues to eliminate his targets, he questions the meaning of killing. To live with his own destiny. A drama of human life between life and death, depicted by Yae Utsumi, author of “Until the Bones Rot” and “Our Last Stand.”
