Synopsis

In this omnibus edition collecting volumes 4-6 of the original manga series, Shin ichi Sakamoto masterfully fictionalises the true life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the 'Gentleman of Paris,' who performed nearly three thousand executions in 18th century France. What has begun, must be seen to an end. Despite the sorrows of a broken heart, Charles must carry out the execution of the condemned Damiens. Swearing to fulfill his duty mercifully, fate plays a cruel hand, and within the ranks of the Sanson family, one intervenes in a shocking display. With dreams of a future of mercy and flourishing equality, Charles faces the execution of the century. Available in English for the first time and presented in a special omnibus edition collecting volumes 4-6 of the original Japanese manga series!
