The Will Breaker

In the neon-drenched metropolis of Seijin City, Haedong Republic, insurance investigator Kanzaki Makoto is haunted by a routine traffic fatality that feels anything but ordinary. What begins as a simple claim spirals into a labyrinth of manipulated accidents, where victims appear to surrender their very will. As Kanzaki peels back layers of deception, he finds himself the target of increasingly lethal attacks, only to discover that the mastermind behind the conspiracy is his own revered mentor, Asakura Takayuki. Written in the vein of a Lawrence Wright investigation, this neo-noir psychological thriller exposes how psychological coercion reduces independent human beings into hollow instruments, and charts one man's desperate struggle to reclaim his own mind and forge a new identity from the wreckage of betrayal.
