The Fable

Fable, a legendary assassin, learns about killing at an early age and eliminates people with ease. His life takes a sudden turn when Boss asks Fable to give up contract killing and lay low for a year.

The Maguro Group gives Akira and Yoko a place to live, on the condition they do not interfere in the Group's business; after their first night out exploring Osaka, they get in trouble.

Akira runs the risk of disobeying orders while minding his own business.

Sparks fly between Akira, who wants to live in peace, and Ebihara, who wants the hitman out.

Akira begins the seemingly impossible task of finding a job in his quest to live an ordinary life.

After 15 years behind bars, Ebihara's protégé, Kojima, becomes increasingly resentful of changes to the Maguro Group; Akira is given a welcome party at his new place of employment; hints of Misaki's hidden past are revealed.
