This is the start of what is looking to be a great series. The assassin who cries at the fate of his victims, Yo Hinomura, codename Crying Freeman, is an assassin for the 108 Dragons, the Chinese Mafia. When he leaves a witness alive, a woman he may be falling in love with (more on that later in the tale), things get, shall we say, complicated. This volume shows us how Yo, an artist, becomes the great assassin. The art on this series is very good. The story so far is very engaging and fast paced. I will definitely continue reading this series.
