The Fable Omnibus, Vol. 7 (Vol. 13-14)

A BLACK AND BLUE CHRISTMAS

Years ago, the Fable did a job that went wrong, putting a girl named Hinako in a wheelchair. Now, she's turned up again in his Osaka hideaway, far from the Tokyo underworld. But this is no coincidence. Hinako is being held by a killer known as "Utsubo," who is here for one reason: to assassinate the legendary assassin. Dealing with amateurs and yakuza without killing is one thing, but how will he pull it off when his opponent is another pro? Meanwhile, Yoko plans her own drunken battle on the most romantically fraught day of the year: Christmas!
