What happens when a grizzled, retired police officer finds himself working for a shadowy government agency? He expects desk work, but instead, he gets a partner who is barely out of elementary school and happens to be a cold-blooded killing machine. Meet Suzukaze Miharu, an eleven-year-old assassin with a penchant for sweets and a complete lack of mercy. Her new partner, Hiraga Raizou, is tasked with the ultimate cleanup duty: scrubbing the blood off the streets and burying the evidence of her lethal work. It is a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled partnership that blurs the lines between morality and survival. As the bodies pile up, Raizou has to decide just how much of his humanity he is willing to sacrifice for a paycheck. Candy and Cigarettes is a dark, gritty, and surprisingly emotional thrill ride that proves looks can be deceiving and the deadliest weapons often come in the smallest packages. Dive into this pulse-pounding action series where every job could be the last.
