FACE OFF Nakoshi is getting closer to the crux of who he is, and he's starting with his face--the one he used to have. One by one, the lies Nakoshi and Ito have told each other are coming to light. Are these the revelations Nakoshi has been seeking? Or are they waiting for him even farther down the twisted road of homunculi? From the creator of Ichi the Killer and Voyeur, the hit supernatural horror tale that inspired a live-action film on Netflix.
Nakoshi faced the robot yakuza and the high school girl made of symbols head on--and in doing so, rid them of their monstrous traits. But now those twisted attributes have transferred to Nakoshi! To get closer to the truth about himself and his new, disturbing reality, he confronts the homunculus of the med student who started it all...Ito.
