Crying Freeman;
Chapter 1: Portrait Of A Killer
 
As the prime operator in the Chinese Mafia, Crying Freeman's callous killings have earned him world notoriety. Only his tears hint at his inner struggle against his murderous destiny.

Chapter 1: Whilst out painting alone, the beautiful Emu witnesses a brutal gangland killing. The killer tells her his name, Yoh. She knows this can only mean one thing: by the law of the Chinese Mafia he must return and forever silence her. But even he cannot deny Emu her final wish... to be released of her viginity.
After this can he still kill her? Will he honour tradition and protect himself or has her touch tamed the dragon that covers his body?
Set in contemporary Tokyo this is a ruthless tale of sex, drugs and violence as Crying Freeman wars against Japanese gangsters, corrupt policemen and Kimie, the topless temptress.
