Bakune Young

It all begins with a savage beating at a pachinko parlor, and now Bakune Young—whether maniac, moron, or mastermind—has taken Japan's top crime boss hostage as the first step in his plan to conquer the world! Soon, yakuza members, police, hapless detectives, and Bakune's former gym teacher all converge as Bakune fortifies himself with his hostage in Osaka Castle. The tough men of the Japanese mob swear to do whatever it takes to rescue their boss! Can Police Chief Sorigami, who plays Russian roulette, salvage the situation with his highly trained army of human robots? Will Johnson Membodeath, the ninja, stop the madness by eliminating everyone in sight? This is a brutal satire of the action-violence manga genre!
