Go Seppuku Yourselves
Completing Toshiaki Toyoda’s politically urgent Resurrection Trilogy following Wolf’s Calling and The Day of Destruction (both JC 2020), this electrifying short follows a man (Kiyohiko Shibukawa, Lowlife Love, JC 2016) tasked with assisting in the ritual suicide of a samurai (Yosuke Kubozuka, Giri/Haji) who won’t die without condemning the corrupt powers that be.
