The story

What Is Blue Tiger About?

The premise of Blue Tiger without spoilers.

Gena, a devoted mother, loses her son when a stray bullet from a Japanese gunman—who was aiming at a rival bus‑operator gang—hits him while they shop for a Halloween mask. The shooter bears a blue‑tiger emblem; haunted, Gena brands a matching red tiger on her skin, becomes fixated, and hunts the killer, pulling her deep into the Japanese mafia underworld.
