EA_ASSASSINS-17-cvrB-ValentinoBlood Origin continues to rock on in today’s new issue of Executive Assistant: Assassins, which features more deadly training of femme fatales than you can shake a katanna at! Leading up to today’s 17th issue Hana (codenamed Daffodil), along with her sister Mayu, struggled to survive. Growing up on their own, the pair began to drift down opposite paths as they reached adulthood. However, following the murder of their loved one, Li, they discovered their connection would forever be intertwined-as Mayu’s attempted robbery has made them the perfect target for blackmail from a powerful businessman, and his accomplice within the Police Force. In this week’s Executive Assistant: Assassins #17, which is the penultimate issue of the Blood Origin three-part storyline, Executive Assistant Daffodil learns the painful truth that a life devoted to the training of women in the art of killing can lead to unintended and fatal results. This lesson may prove to be her last, as the reality of this existence may prove too much to survive even for her!
