The first episode of the super exciting crime thriller anime The Fable showed us the main character, a dangerous assassin, and his assistant, who is the second most important person.
Fans of Katsuhisa Minami’s manga, also called The Fable, have been waiting eagerly for the anime version.
They were thrilled to hear that the anime will have two seasons in a row. The first episode got everyone talking, and now we’re all waiting for the second one.
The series started with Fable completing a mission to take down a group involved in human trafficking. Later, he watches a comedy show called Mr.
Jackal in the car with his driver and assistant, Youko, who picks him up. Then, they meet their boss, who goes by Boss, and tell him about their mission.
Boss decides that because of the big mess Fable made, including killing 71 people, they have to leave the assassin life for a year.
Boss set up the hitman and his assistant to live in Osaka as brother and sister, Akira and Youko Satou. He arranged all the necessary documents and told Fable to try to live a normal life.
Fable was strictly warned not to kill anyone during this time, with severe consequences if he did.
Once in Osaka, Youko doubted whether Akira could blend in, especially after a small scuffle with burglars. However, she was impressed by his new accent and started to believe he could live like an ordinary person.
Next, we see the second-in-command of the Maguro-gumi organization disapproving of Fable living in Osaka, their turf. However, the leader, Maguro, believes the assassin should enjoy his new freedom for as long as possible.
Expectation
In the previous episode, we met the main character, The Fable, who is a famous and deadly assassin.
He was forced to pretend to be a regular guy named Akira Satou, along with his assistant, who is now his pretend sister, Youko Satou.
In the next episode, we’ll see how he manages to live a normal life after being an assassin for so long. We’ll also meet Takeshi Ebihara, who is supposed to be The Fable’s manager, even though he’s not sure about him.
Even though his boss told him to live normally, we’ll find out if The Fable can resist his assassin instincts.
