In a bleak, neon‑lit Tokyo ruled by yakuza lord Nogi—who seized power by killing the former boss and marrying his daughter Chiaki—a mysterious woman named Ikko, Chiaki’s half‑sister, rises. Inspired by a legendary hit‑woman, she calls herself the Black Angel and vows to avenge her father’s murderer with a torrent of blood.
