For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voice of his jailers.

He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.]]></description>

It's a wonderful display of hardcore violence. <br/><br/>When I discovered the film was based on this manga, I had to read it.

    <![CDATA[Ten years ago, they took him. He doesn't know who. For ten years he has been confined in a private prison. He doesn't know why. For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voice of his jailers. In time, he lost himself... changed... transformed himself into something else... something hard... something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.]]>

While there he sees no one, spends his time watching TV, trying to keep in shape, and eating the takeout that is dropped into his room.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this while living in Mexico City. I was so into living-in-the-world that I had no time for books. So a fast fun manga was about all I could handle. Still, it's only ok. Great art; a good story; but something about it stuck me as annoying and cloying, but still damn good read.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Ten years ago, they took him. He doesn't know who. For ten years he has been confined in a private prison. He doesn't know why. For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voice of his jailers. In time, he lost himself... changed... transformed himself into something else... something hard... something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.]]>
