Mujina into the Deep (Vol.2) - Inio Asano

Mujina into the Deep (Volume 2) by Inio Asano, published by Viz Media, continues the dark, provocative science-fiction manga set in a near future where human rights can be bought and sold. With sharp social commentary and explosive violence, Asano deepens his vision of a world ruled by inequality and survival of the fittest.

Once a top-tier assassin in Tokyo, Ubume now finds herself battered by age and circumstance. After being gravely injured by a flashy influencer in what should have been a routine job, she prepares for an unceremonious end. Instead, fate throws her into an unexpected situation: temporary guardianship of a teenage girl, access to a surprisingly comfortable hideout, and a foul-mouthed roommate who secretly longs for connection.

Stripped of her former reputation but not her edge, Ubume refuses to fade away. In a society where the law doesn’t protect the rightless—and therefore doesn’t restrain them—she decides to reclaim her standing the only way she knows how: with cold steel and absolute resolve.
