Sasori – Scorpion

Tokyo stock exchange. Noon siren. A single, blood-red stiletto heel. Betrayed by a corrupt cop, Nami Matsushima becomes inmate #701, Scorpion, and quietly plots vengeance. Escape is only the first stage of her master plan. Ito’s pinky violence is a crucial bridge from Kaji Meiko’s outlaw-woman roles to early anime.
