The story begins with Rikido Taisei, a legendary yakuza serving 30 years in prison, being paroled from Jigokujima, the only penal island left in modern times. He is told by Jirocho Shimizu, an inspector at the Ominami Police Station who arrested him, that just like controlling poison with poison, the ``venomous'' inmates become detectives and control the ``poison'' of crime that is rampant in modern times...

In the same issue, Yusuke Ochiai's ``Hitokuidanchi'' is completed. In addition, in the next issue to be released on February 27th, Nobuaki Minegishi's ``Tenpai'', originally designed by Yuji Kuga, will be serialized again for the first time in about three and a half years since June 2022, and will appear on the cover and in the first color.
