A young Sakamoto and his classmates' mission to assassinate Kindaka goes sideways, and they now find themselves somehow working with their intended target to protect some VIPs from an assassination plot. They later learn that Kindaka is part of a special assassination group known as the Order! Can they survive the onslaught of hit men that lies in wait?!

Synopsis: Zaha Sanko's body has great and terrible powers--they say that possessing his bones will grant you any wish, even the desire to become ruler of the universe. But Sanko is still a teenage dude with his own life, and he isn't about to let every monstrous lowlife in the galaxy rip him limb from limb. He and his skeletal buddy Avakian will use their dark powers to fend off any murder attempts while they search space for whomever put this curse on Sanko's bones...because killing them might end the madness. (And then Sanko can celebrate with his favorite spaghetti.)

My rating: ★★★★☆

This was a fun and pretty interesting manga. Right off the bat, I really enjoyed the illustrations just because they were so creepy 😆 I liked it!
