Body to Jewel: Akai had some of Sawa's parents' blood fashioned into a set of earrings, which have been her most prized possession ever since.Asshole Victim: The targets Sawa and Oburi are sent to kill are often Dirty Cops and Corrupt Corporate Executives.Action Girl: Sawa, although Sawa didn't exactly choose to be one.Has a Live-Action Adaptation by the same name directed by Ralph Ziman. This page is for the censored version only. Like Umetzu's similar work Mezzo Forte, it has received three releases in North America: a General Release with most of the sexual content removed, a subsequent Director's Cut that leaves most of the controversial material intact, and a Special Edition that is presented as being totally uncut. However, Oburi and Sawa soon find out that giving up their current lives will be no easy task, for Akai is not the kind of man that will take "no" for an answer. When she meets her male counterpart, a young man named Oburi who has been trained by Kanie, Sawa begins to question her role in life and the events that led her there. Holding misguided affection for Akai after he "rescued" her as a child from the scene of her parents' murder, Sawa has done his bidding for years without question. Under the pretense of " cleaning up the city" by getting rid of corrupt politicians and child molesters that are outside the reach of the law, Akai uses Sawa as his personal assassin. Not only have he and his partner Kanie ordered each of the killings, but many of them have been carried out by his underage lover and adopted daughter, Sawa. Akai, the lead detective in these cases, knows more than he is letting on. The only known connections are the killer's use of exploding bullets, and the fact that each of the victims were famous, wealthy, or powerful individuals. In Tokyo, a string of bizarre, unsolved murders have the police confounded and the media in a frenzy.
