Nagisa is transgender. She grew up in Hiroshima as a man, but now lives in Shinjuku, Tokyo as a woman. Due to an incident, she begins to live with middle school student Ichika, who is a distant relative. Ichika has been neglected by her mother Saori. From living in solitude by herself, to now living with Ichika, Nagisa develops maternal instincts for the first time.
Set in the late Sengoku period, Kubi reimagines the events surrounding the Honnō-ji Incident, where Oda Nobunaga meets his violent end and Japan’s balance of power tilts overnight. Kitano weaves a brutal, darkly comic tapestry of scheming warlords, double-crossing retainers, and a country on the cusp of unification.
Set after the events of the Public Safety arc, Reze Arc follows Denji as he stumbles into a disarmingly tender romance with Reze, a girl whose warmth seems to offer escape from blood and contracts. But fate—along with a web of political interests and devil powers—turns their chance meeting into a volatile collision of desire, deception, and detonations.
