THE DOUBLE-LINED CANVAS

Tatsuki Douba is the chillingly composed Wakagashira of the Douba-gumi, controlling the Kansai region's underworld with an iron grip and vast financial influence. But behind the facade of crime and shadows, a more intricate game is being played. Shibusawa, a man of sharp intellect and mysterious motives, navigates the intersection of the criminal underworld and the elite world of manga publishing. As he orchestrates the success of a hit series and manages the mysterious 'research hiatus' of its lead artist, it becomes clear that Shibusawa is an architect of reality itself. In a world where the line between a fictional masterpiece and a dangerous power play is paper-thin, Douba and Shibusawa find themselves locked in a silent, high-stakes hunt that spans the concrete jungle of Tokyo.
