"Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku"

"Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku" is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuji Kaku. It's a dark fantasy story about a group of criminals sent to an island called "Tsurugi" to retrieve the elixir of life, which is said to grant immortality. However, the island is filled with dangerous creatures and the group must fight for their survival as they unravel the secrets of the island and its inhabitants.

Gabimaru the Hollow, a ninja of Iwagakure Village known for being cold and emotionless, was set up by his fellow ninja and is now on death row. Tired of killing and betrayal, he wants to die. However, no method of execution works on him because as much as the seemingly apathetic Gabimaru refuses to admit it, he does have a reason to live. He wants to return to his wife, who was the reason why he softened up and failed to be an effective assassin. Thus, he refuses to die.

Asaemon the Decapitator, a famous executioner, sees this and has a proposal for the ninja. She wants Gabimaru to join an expedition to an island south of Japan in search of the elixir of life in exchange for a full pardon by the Shogunate. However, this island isn't a normal island: it's believed to be Paradise.

However the island is full of mysteries, and the exploring team—consisting of those marked for death—might not be fully prepared to handle them.
