This is a pseudo-manga about modern day ninjas. Genre: Action / Drama / Romance. Contains mature and/or disturbing subject matter. Contains profanity, nudity and scenes of violence. The content is therefore NSFW (not safe for work). I have been told that the story is depressing.

From the Artist
Violent Lives is my first full length comic story. I began drawing it on January 18, 2014 at the rate of one page a day as a self improvement exercise / creative outlet. That rate has significantly dropped. I originally planned for 365 pages and 14 chapters but now I am estimating it will reach 400-odd pages and up to 18 chapters.
Drawn on sketchpaper with mechanical/HB pencil + prismacolor ink marker, lettered in MSPaint. Has the look of a storyboard. I am not a professional. I did not do any research into proper comic formatting/lettering prior to starting, I just winged it. There are a LOT of amateur mistakes that I made and continue to make. Thanks for reading it anyway!
This is a work of fiction and set in a fictional universe. Any relation or likeness to persons living or dead or existing places is coincendental.
