Description
Two young men vow to transform the destiny of Japan, by any means necessary. As children, they survived the horrors of the Cambodian killing fields together. Now, can they topple the leaders of both the Japanese Parliament and the yakuza crime syndicate?
Although cold and calculating, Hojo and Asami exemplify the traits their colleagues lack: loyalty to friends, compassion for the downtrodden and an irresistible way with women.
Deputy Police Chief Ishihara sets out to expose their ingenious machinations but instead falls helplessly in love with Hojo.

Terrific read for mature readers. This political thriller closely dissects the fundamentalist Japan and is not afraid to dispose of it. Do reference it with 90's foreign policies, Americanization, the Bubble, and Oligarchy for a better understanding.
I think I've read enough seinen to compare, and I think this manga is the best of its genre. It's a political thriller that will always keep you hooked with its many plot twists and cliffhangers. The characters are well defined and the drawing is really good. Maybe, female characters are too focused on sex in this manga, but it's not a really bad issue.
10 out of 10 for sure.

If you looking for good yakuza\politic seinen... this manga is the way to go ^__^ 10 out of 10!
This manga is definitely worth a read. There are lots of political elements to it as well as intelectual depth. The character development is great.
This is something that people who are even remotely attracted to the genre should read, or at least go through the first volume.

This is a great read and I really enjoy Ryoichi Ikegami's distinctive style of drawing. The manga is both an action-packed political thriller and a moving drama about the commitment between two friends. Highly recommended!
This manga is that hot FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE... its crazy son go cop that
