Looking for background on Deadman Wonderland: The Red Knife Wielder (デッドマン・ワンダーランド 赤いナイフ使い)? This action, horror and sci-fi series by Manglobe (2011) starts out like this. The setup: Two years after the catastrophic tidal wave that swept over Japan, police officer Kiyomasa Senji is attempting to make the world a safer place.

As things develop, after rescuing a boy named Izuru Tsukiyoshi from a gang called Goreless Peace, the conflict between Kiyomasa and his adversaries heats up rapidly, to the point of being explosive. Offering a glimpse into the past of the future Deadman, the story follows Senji, helping to further develop the reasoning that drives his actions later in life.
