SynopsisA science-fiction thriller set in a powerfully imagined multicultural future landscape that resembles the current Middle East, NO. 5 is the latest work from the acclaimed creator of BLACK & WHITE, Taiyo Matsumoto. No. 5 battles against the forces of the Rainbow Council. In a world that has become 70% harsh desert, the Rainbow Council of the International Peace Keeping Forces, a team of super-powered global security guardians, have a growing crisis on their hands. No. 5, one of their own and known within the council as their top marksman, has left his post and gone rogue. It's up to the other guardians to track him down--but No. 5, with his mysterious companion Matroshka, won't go down without a fight.

Both take place in a fantasy world where technology is limited and somewhat frowned down upon. Each deal with the issue of Freedom vs. Peace: "The price of freedom is war or that of peace, tyranny. People who value peace above all will sacrifice liberty to get it. Those who value freedom above all will sacrifice peace to achieve it." The tyrant of each is an almost god-like figure somewhat feared and enamored by the protagonist. Eventually they each have to face their tyrant.
