''Crying Freeman'', a 1986 manga illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami and written by Creator/KazuoKoike, follows the story of Yoh Hinomura, an internationally-renowned potter from Japan. A Chinese triad organization known as "The 108 Dragons" kidnapped Yoh and turned him into an unwilling assassin: after sticking acupuncture needles in him and implanting post-hypnotic suggestions, Yoh became one of their best assassins, killing for the group whenever he is ordered to. Whenever Yoh kills, he [[ManlyTears cries out of remorse for his victims]] (hence the name of the series). When solitary artist Emu Hino witnesses one of Yoh's assassinations, the Dragons order him to eliminate her -- but Yoh's love for Hino [[LoveRedeems could become his salvation]]...
