Pistol Opera

You’re the ranking blade in a guild of killers. When your name flashes bottom on the next death list a trio of ambitious juniors closes in. The city’s neon blurs between rain and gun smoke. What if the safest contract is to disappear into your own legend. Suzuki frames a yakuza ballet where every corner hides another trigger.
