HERE’S TO MY LOVE, OR WHATEVER

A shadowy organization has Maguro in its sights, and one member is fixing to go rogue and attempt a daring assassination of either the chairman or the captain. The weapon? Poison. This tangled mystery will present the trickiest challenge yet to Akira and Yoko’s incognito life in Taihei. Meanwhile, the Fable gets a new commission: to draw some cutesy Valentine’s Day illustrations. But this time, he can’t focus on his art. Something weird is happening around town...

Praise for the film
