The Restless Sheep & The Lone Wolf A Tale of Cutthroat Lovers (v1.0.2)

Another restless, sleepless night… from the mind of Maggot Baits creator Tatsuya Kurashiki comes a twisted love story! Kabukicho, Shinjuku. There’s a hotel here where I work as a live-in cleaner—or at least, that’s my day job. By night, I suffer from chronic insomnia with just one cure: killing people. So I moonlight as a yakuza bigwig’s pet killer, waiting for him to toss me a bone and order a hit so I can sleep in The Restless Sheep & The Lone Wolf A Tale of Cutthroat Lovers.

Might sound like a fine line to walk, but my life’s pretty quiet. Pretty stable. Until I meet this girl, Azami. Defeating her got me a night of sleep so peaceful, I’ve been mulling over the idea of keeping her around. Thing is, my boss wants her dead, and if I bite the hand that feeds me, there’s my quiet, stable life out the door… Azami: A mysterious girl who happens to visit the hotel the protagonist lives in.

Haruhiko Nire: An elite detective from Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Detective Division who wanders Kabukicho, seemingly in search of something, even though his beat is actually East Shinjuku. While he may look kind, he’s a shrewd man who knows not just judo and kendo but various other practical martial arts as well. Sayuki Ugai: A detective from East Shinjuku’s Detective Department Section 4 who’s lost any shred of morals or sense of duty.
