As for its story, the anime’s premise is described as:
“The Fable follows a legendary hitman called Fable, who has spent his entire life training to become the world’s best assassin. After an alarmingly high number of confirmed kills, Fable suddenly finds himself at a loss when the head of his crime family orders him to lay low for a year. Suddenly uprooted, Fable moved to Osaka, surrounded by trigger-happy criminals. Tasked not to kill anyone during his sabbatical, Fable will be forced to control his temperament and adapt to the ordinary if he wants to survive.”

- Kazuyuki Okitsu (Metallic Rouge, Gintama) as Fable/Akira Sato
