Must Read

I went into The Fable thinking it would be another assassin manga with cool fights, but ended being so much more than that. The thing I liked about The Fable the most was the balance between comedy, action, and its serious moments. The fights are intense and well thought out, but does not rely on it to keep you invested in the story. Some of my favourite parts are the quieter moments when Akira is just trying to understand life and the people around him. The side characters are also great, they all have their own...
