Douchuushi

We are in Edo, in the mid-nineteenth century, where pickpockets, organized into gangs, fiercely defend their territories. When a stranger named Ankurô dares to steal outside his rightful domain, a frantic search begins to track him down. Yet, Ankurô is driven by motives far beyond mere coins, willing to risk his life to achieve his ultimate goal.
A tale of crime, passion, and vengeance, crafted in the unmistakable style of Kazuo Koike and Gôseki Kojima.
