About this ebook

The stoic bushido world of Samurai Executioner is one full of flying, disembodied heads and odd happenings, and this volume is no exception. There are always stories of crimes and their ensuing punishments, and plenty of squirting blood, but this volume promises a story that will fascinate and inspire a few grins.

A mysterious woman with a turtlelike demon tattooed on her back and the ability to swim like no other is stealing weapons from men around Edo. She's scarring egos and causing lots of problems. Of course, Kubikiri Asa has the answer to the mystery. And in a surprise turn, a samurai cop whom we've met before finally captures the woman, and does so in a rather erotic way.
