** If you haven’t watched the series and are wary of spoilers so please stop. **

Set in post war Kansai, Akudama are the highly skilled criminals and dregs of society who are capable of carrying out any difficult tasks when provided with money accordingly.

Four S-Rank Akudama Courier, Brawler, Hacker and Doctor recieved a task to rescue a akudama Cutthroat, the top-ranking criminal in the city with nine hundred and ninety-nine murders with an estimated 967 years of prison sentence who was to be executed on the same day but as events unfolded, akudamas were told that this task was just a test to see whether the abilities of these criminals are suitable for a much harder mission.

There were 2 others who got caught in this mess, an ordinary girl mistakenly detained in the police station for not paying at a takoyaki store and a low ranking akudama serving a 4-year sentence.

The ending of the series is quite heartbreaking as the main characters die while completing the mission but don’t worry you won’t be spitting at the story as everything is set very accordingly.
