An uncompromising examination of the human condition against the backdrop of ultra-violence, Genocidal Organ is a thought-provoking thrill ride from one of Japan’s greatest sci-fi minds. A definite staple for science fiction and anime fans alike.

When Bosnia’s capital fell victim to a nuclear attack, the western world transformed into a series of surveillance states in the name of counterterrorism. Developing nations however, have become embroiled in an alarming number of genocidal civil wars, with one person curiously at the centre: the American John Paul (Takahiro Sakurai).

Clavis Shephard (Yuichi Nakamura), a U.S. intelligence officer, leads the charge in an expedition to bring down the “King of Genocides” across a world where hell isn’t what you see or do, but what you can never forget.

An engrossing cocktail of Jason Bourne spy-thriller, unflinching carnage and a philosophical core that leaves us questioning our own morality, Genocidal Organ is a hauntingly accurate glimpse at what, given current events, could very well be the future we face.

From the undead-powered Victorian London in The Empire of Corpses to the futuristic utopia of Harmony, Project Itoh’s talent for conjuring complex worlds on the tip of his pen is in full force for his darkest ever. Genocidal Organ has been a long time coming, but is a fitting and worthy send-off for an author ten years after his debut.

About Project Itoh
Born in 1974, Project Itoh (real name: Satoshi Itō) was an acclaimed science fiction author who made his debut with Genocidal Organ in 2007, earning a nomination for the Nihon SF Taisho Award. Project Itoh went on to pen Harmony, a novelisation of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots and collections of short stories and essays before his promising career was tragically cut short by cancer in 2009, aged only 34 years.

His final novel, The Empire of Corpses, was published posthumously after being completed by friend and collaborator Toh Enjoe. Both The Empire of Corpses and Harmony were also adapted into anime feature films, currently available from Anime Limited.
