''Freesia'' is a twelve-volume manga series (adapted a live-action movie) drawn by [[Jiro Matsumoto]]. Set in an [[Alternate History]] Japan, rampant crime and dwindling resources due to a war with another nation led the government to passing the ''Vengeance Act'' to keep prisons from overfilling. As a consequence, instead of going to prison, victims of a crime can legally try to kill the perpetrator, or enlist the help of a proxy agency to have their ''enforcers'' do it for them. The target can also enlist the help of ''bodyguards'' to help defend themselves (in the event that the target can't find/afford any, the government provides bodyguards for him). |

Freesia follows the lives of our main cast, as well as the people that they interact with and how the Vengeance Act affects society as a whole. It's drawn with Matsumoto's distinctive dirty and sketchy art style. Like any Jiro Matsumoto manga, expect to see hallucinations, plot twists, and lots and lots of [[Mind Screw]]. |
