A fearsome killer, her body more machine than flesh, she has learned the truth: Her human body parts were bartered away when she was a baby, and what remained was left for dead. Filled with incandescent rage, Hyaku embarks on a vengeful rampage to dismantle the monsters who took her apart and violently reclaim what she has lost. But as she replaces her cybernetic implants with the flesh and blood she has been denied, a new emotion sets in: fear. Fear that her human body will be too weak to finish what she started -- and fear of what she might learn next about her own past. Will her anger and ruthlessness be enough to propel her to the final showdown? Or will revelations about the depravity of her world consume her, along with everyone around her?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-06-03\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47193682772194,"sku":"9798875000522","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9798875000522.jpg?v=1765280253"},{"product_id":"9781683969327","title":"Search and Destroy Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the cinematic mind of Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi and Her Pink Gun) comes a contemporary reimagining of the timeless, Eisner Award-winningDororo, by \"God of Manga\" Osamu Tezuka (Buddha, Astro Boy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is steeped in visual poetry.
