Description

**"Heed ye scoundrels, I will kill you all."**

Gennosuke Inoko is a buraku, a group of people considered to be less than human. Taken in by a dojo and a practitioner of Kenpo, Gennosuke exhibits tremendous skill and a dangerous ferocity.

The other members of the dojo conspire against him ending with Gennosuke killing the sensei he thought he trusted. Embittered and lonely, he seeks to eliminate those who wronged him at any cost.

Was a very controversial work and many copies were recalled.

What has been scanlated on MangaDex is a 2004 release that contains censored dialogue (as represented by Xs and Os) along with an essay giving insight on the controversy. What's also included is a redone version entitled *Heed ye Scoundrels* (alternatively, *Heed my Words*).

The official English version that is linked contains the *uncensored* version with the original dialogue and a 2004 essay, as well as the apologies from Hirata himself as well as the (infamous) Hinomaru Bunko. Though, dismayingly, the redone *Heed ye Scoundrels* version is not included.
