Black Trick

This is the Japanese crime thriller manga [Black Trick], serialized from 2004 to 2013. It's a story about the protagonist Kurosaki, a 'black heron' who deceives scammers. In this manga, there are mainly three types of scammers: 'white herons' who deceive ordinary people for financial gain, 'red herons' who use seduction to scam, and 'black herons' who prey on and ruin both white and red herons. The main plot is about Kurosaki, who, after his father was scammed by a white heron in his childhood, leading to the ruin of his family and the death of his loved ones, became a scamming black heron to devour all the scammers in existence. It has been praised as a masterpiece that sharply points out the dark side of modern society and a must-read for modern people. While some find the repetitive pattern of Kurosaki being scammed and then using reverse psychology to scam them and bring about their downfall to be boring in the long run, it's an interesting work that allows us to contemplate the limitations of the judicial system and the legitimacy of private sanctions.
