Summary

Takashi Miike's seminal (literally), ultra-gore manga-adapted tale of The Number One Killer, his friend The Other Number One Killer, this Lady Who Kills, and a few other Notable Killers. It's mad, it's undeniably well-crafted, and it may just be the most faithful comic book adaptation of all time. Let's talk.
