Akudama Drive

In futuristic Kansai, technology is dazzling and highly advanced, but beneath the orderly city live criminals of extraordinary danger known as Akudama. On the day the killer Cutthroat is scheduled for public execution, an anonymous message reaches several of the most notorious among them and offers a huge reward for freeing him. The strangers are forced into one mission together: Brawler, Doctor, Hacker, Courier, Hoodlum, and an ordinary young woman who becomes trapped in the chaos and claims to be an Akudama simply to stay alive. Pulling off the rescue does not end the job. It reveals that the operation was only the first step in a much larger plan whose architect none of them understands. Hunted by law enforcement and manipulated by their mysterious employer, the group is pushed onto a path where withdrawal is no longer an option.
