Description

Innocent Omnibus Volume 1 by Shin'ichi Sakamoto explores the weight of blood, death, and duty. The heir to the title of royal executioner finds it a burden too heavy to bear.

This omnibus edition collects volumes 1-3 of the original manga series, where Sakamoto masterfully fictionalizes the real life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the "Gentleman of Paris," who conducted nearly three thousand executions in 18th century France.

Born into a family of executioners, Charles-Henri Sanson is destined to inherit his father's role as the Royal Executioner of Paris. Caught between the desire to honour his family's name and the urge to defy centuries of tradition, he decides to embrace his legacy. However, he vows to be the last executioner—the last Sanson to spill blood in the name of justice.

Now available in English for the first time, this special omnibus edition brings together volumes 1-3 of the original Japanese manga series.

For mature audiences.
