Female assassin-for-hire Okatsu the Tiger-Lily takes 'hit contracts' [many distasteful even to her] and uses her skills to extract a twisted brand of justice, leaving a trail of blood as she travels from one gambling site to the next. Of course, she needs to be cautious while performing her executions, but Okatsu must also be continuously aware of her surroundings as many people are seeking revenge for her past hits.
