Synopsis

Uramiya Honpo is a suspense manga that follows a secret organization offering revenge-for-hire services, punishing wrongdoers and evildoers on behalf of clients consumed by hatred and resentment. The protagonist, Shiori Hojo (known as “Uramiya”), is a professional avenger who hands out a black business card that reads, “We will avenge your grudge.” Depending on the nature of each request, she and her team deliver punishment ranging from social ruin to outright elimination of the target. However, Uramiya operates under her own strict moral code—if a client’s grudge turns out to be unjustified or based on lies, the revenge is redirected toward the client instead. Each story features new cases where victims of injustice, betrayal, or violence seek salvation through Uramiya Honpo. The team skillfully executes elaborate traps and psychological schemes to exact revenge, exposing the dark corners of modern society. From family murders and insurance fraud to workplace betrayals, abuse, and bullying, every episode explores both the emotional scars of the victims and the cruelty of their oppressors. With cold precision and no compromise, Uramiya delivers judgment where the law cannot reach. A chilling and thought-provoking critique of modern morality, Uramiya Honpo reveals the “ordinary evil” lurking behind everyday life—making it one of Japan’s most gripping revenge dramas.
