Craved Lady Joker, Volume One's sprawling Tokyo underworld and conspiracy architecture from Kaoru Takamura? Let The Plotters by Un-su Kim take you deeper into Asia's rot.

If Takamura's Tokyo underworld left you craving another Asian megalopolis corroded from within, Un-su Kim delivers Seoul's assassination trade as corporate infrastructure—complete with plotters, cleaners, and the bureaucratic rot that festers when murder becomes industry. Like Lady Joker's ensemble of disillusioned operatives, The Plotters assembles anti-heroes navigating moral quicksand: a veteran killer raised in the trade, his enigmatic mentor, and the shadowy middlemen who commodify death itself.

Here's the same slow-burn conspiracy architecture and class warfare, but Kim adds pitch-dark satire that cuts deeper—exposing how economic disparity doesn't just motivate crime, it industrializes it into something grimly absurd.

Trade one nation's buried trauma for another's—both refuse you easy answers.
