The Black Swindler

Swindlers come in three kinds. White swindlers cheat people out of their money, red swindlers prey on the opposite sex, and black swindlers cheat the white and the red ones in turn. When white swindlers destroy his family and take everything from them, Kurosagi sets out to avenge them. To do that he becomes a black swindler himself, turning the same tricks and lies against those who live by deceiving others. His targets are the swindlers, never the people they have already ruined. His path crosses those of rival swindlers and of the victims left behind, and every job draws him deeper into a world where trust is a weapon, money moves fast and everyone is running a scam of their own.
