37 parts Complete Akiko Hayashi was never a victim.
Long before the Borderlands, she knew how to hunt, how to hurt, how to win.
At the Beach, where loyalty is cheap and power is everything, she rises - ruthless, relentless, and unbreakable.
Forged in blood, crowned by violence, she finds an unlikely equal in Takatora Samura - the Beach's deadliest blade.
Together, they build something stronger than trust, darker than love.
In a world built for predators,
Akiko was never meant to fall.
She was meant to reign.
