ザ・ファブル The Second Contact [The Fable: The Second Contact]

In The Fable: The Second Contact (2021–2023, Kōdansha), the legendary hitman known only as "The Fable" returns to a world that refuses to let him retire. This nine-issue sequel series, written and illustrated by Katsuhisa Minami, picks up after the original The Fable, forcing its reluctant killer protagonist back into the shadows when a new threat emerges from his past. Minami’s signature blend of deadpan humor, brutal action, and intricate plotting deepens the character’s struggle between his lethal training and his desire for a quiet life. A gripping continuation that cements The Fable as a modern classic of the action-comedy genre.
