Recs if you like Three Assassins (Assassins, #1)...
Japanese crime novels
my favourite genre, these books are so much fun and more and more are being added all the time If anyone has any questions about any book I will try to help. I have read most of them and have reference books on the history of Japanese crime fiction.

Gallows humor, black comedy, l'humour noir — whatever you call it, this is the place for it. This list includes André Breton's seminal anthology of dark humor, a number of the works excerpted in this anthology, and beyond.

I got told there would be more Katanas- Assassins
So turns out there is only Katanas, in the Japanese ones. Tales of Assassins fiction and non-fiction. A subgenre of crime that is fun unless you are the target.
