Summary
Atsushi's new job as a detective in the desert had been nothing but banal expectation—heated days, keeping low-profile, and chasing rumors. That changes the moment he crosses paths with a ruthless outlaw who seems to know him better than he knows himself.
The clash of newly pinned sheriff, Atsushi Nakajima, and infamous outlaw, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke, may break the fragile stalemate of the Agency and the Port Mafia forever.
Since the dawns of civilization in the dessert, the Agency sheriffs and Port Mafia outlaws have waged a bitter war across the dunes. But old grudges and loyalties are nothing compared to the secrets within both sides.
As Atsushi is dragged deeper into the tangled feud, he begins to uncover the reputable past of Dazai Osamu, who seems to had has his own run-in with the Mafia.
With such drama afront, when a powerful new threat rises from the pristine cities beyond the sands, both groups must put their guns down in uneasy alliance.
They must either work together or be crushed in a Dog's Gambit.

Summary
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's world has been an act since the moment he was born. A life in the spotlight, every calculated movement constantly watched, a masterclass in his art.
So when Atsushi Nakajima is introduced as his backup, there is nothing more to be perceived of the situation than as a sign of Akutagawa's failure at last.Atsushi Nakajima has lived a life in the shadows, and it was no different now that he's in Akutagawa's.
While Atsushi takes the fall on set, it's also he who does for a man who never truly sees him once the camera stops rolling. He is the one who bleeds for every scene they share, unlike Akutagawa who seems as if he can't bleed at all.And yet, when the final scene fades, he's the one left standing alone.
In the end, both take the fall.

Summary
In the vibrant yet treacherous backdrop of the 1930s bayou, a charismatic killer with a penchant for jazz and theatrics, forges an uneasy alliance with a corrupt, world-weary cop. While the Killer thrives on the chaotic beauty of the swamp, turning death into a performance, the cop drowns in the grime of his sins and regrets, clinging to their shared deal to maintain his crumbling life. As they navigate speakeasies filled with shadowed revelry, vibrant jazz, and illicit deals, their contrasting lives entwined, creating a partnership as volatile and inevitable as the bayou’s endless cycle of life and decay.
