Rust Manhwa

In the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Ha Maru, a humble butcher hailing from Korea, found himself ensnared in a deadly dance of power and peril. What commenced as a routine voyage swiftly descended into a maelstrom of treachery, entwining him in the sinister embrace of the Yakuza, Japan's infamous underworld syndicate. As Ha Maru plunged deeper into this shadowed realm, a latent ferocity within him stirred to life. The cleavers he once wielded for meat now metamorphosed into instruments of survival, carving a path through a realm where only the ruthless reigned supreme. Despite his initial apprehension, Ha Maru soon became entwined in the intricate tapestry of power plays and double-crossings that defined the Yakuza. Amidst this labyrinth of deceit, Ha Maru's true essence unfurled – a man not merely a butcher, but a survivor willing to embrace the darkness within to endure. Yet, as he ascended the echelons of the criminal hierarchy, Ha Maru discovered that the toll of survival far exceeded his expectations. Alliances were tested, bonds forged and shattered, forcing Ha Maru to confront the shadows lurking within his own soul. Now perched atop the pinnacle of the underworld, Ha Maru faced his ultimate trial – to cling to his humanity in a world where ethics were a rare luxury. In a saga of resilience, resolve, and potential redemption, Ha Maru's odyssey through Tokyo's sinister underbelly would scrutinize not solely his physical prowess, but his inner fortitude and principles. Rust – a narrative coursing with blood, blades, and the struggle for one man's essence amidst a realm where survival necessitated embracing the shadows within.
