Kaku transforms the clich d ninja hero trope into an unexpected psychological thriller in this genre-blending manga. Using densely hatched lines and manga's typical lack of color to his advantage with copious shading, Kaku blends horror and shonen (teen male-oriented) genres. Standing in his way are his fellow convicts and the fearsome beasts that roam the island, devouring or killing anyone they encounter. As Gabimaru and his executioner explore the island, they come under attack from creatures that resemble gods but behave like devils. Offered the chance to have his crimes pardoned, Gabimaru agrees to leave on an expedition with a group of death row criminals and master decapitator, Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, who is charged with keeping Gabimaru in line to find the elixir of life on a legendary island of paradise.
