About this book

Because his truthfulness caused a catastrophe when he was a young child, Utsuho Azako has vowed to never tell the truth again. When the village of orphans where he grew up is destroyed and everyone killed, Utsuho decides to become an "itsuwaribito," someone who has perfected the arts of sneaking, tricking, beating, and stealing, but to do so to help rather than harm people.
