Japan. The future. A new age of corporate feudalism. The worlds of business, organized crime, and politics now exist in a delicate interdependence. Enter Noh, a government agency that secretly polices that balance of worlds. Kabuki, an operative of the Noh, becomes deeply affected by the death of her mother and can only relate to the world through world through the security of a mask. She embarks on a quest to come to terms with her family, history, culture, and her mother's death...even if her personal crusade brings her in direct conflict with the powers she serves. A mix of historical mythology, political intrigue, corporate espionage, and familial duty, elegantly told through the haunting lens of a child's fairy tale. The first chapter in one of the most critically acclaimed series of graphic novels.
