BEWARE, BEAR

Misaki’s safe from the yakuza for now, if traumatized and mortified. But the vicious lieutenant Sunagawa is on Fable’s trail, and planning revenge. In the meantime, Fable has taken his new “apprentice” on an educational camping trip, complete with hallucinations and bear attacks, and Yoko has put yet another romantic victim in the hospital. Yet how long can these days of fun and frivolity continue? When will Sunagawa make his move?
