- Sci-Fi (shared)
Growing murder rates have pushed the Japanese government to resurrect a Meiji-era penal code called Death by Retaliation, which allows criminals to be executed in the same way their victims were killed. The sentences are carried out by a special police task force of nine Assistors, executioners who are themselves victims of crime and who act on behalf of bereaved families. Each case places the executioners' own histories beside those of the people they serve, testing the boundary between justice and revenge, and asking whether either can bring comfort to those left behind. The law offers an exact answer to violence, but grief resists such a neat formula. Seishi Kishimoto's SUKEDACHI NINE is a dark action thriller about punishment and loss, where an official duty can never be separated from personal pain. It includes side stories alongside the main series.

In a world where humans and robots live side by side, someone is destroying the seven most advanced robots on Earth, and murdering humans who fought for robot rights. At each crime scene, the bodies are left with strange makeshift horns. Europol sends its finest investigator, Gesicht, a robot detective who is himself one of the seven. Gesicht's investigation crosses the world, from the Swiss robot Mont Blanc to the gentle pacifist Epsilon and the boy robot Atom, whose kindness is almost human. As the case widens, it reveals the scars of a recent war, buried memories and the dangerous question of whether a robot can learn to hate. Naoki Urasawa, with co-writer Takashi Nagasaki, reimagines a classic Astro Boy story by Osamu Tezuka as a mature science-fiction detective drama about grief, prejudice and what it means to be human. It won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and was adapted into an acclaimed anime.
