About Taboo Tattoo

Looking for background on Taboo Tattoo (タブー・タトゥー)? This action, comedy and ecchi series by J.C.STAFF (2016) starts out like this. In short: The manga which this will be based off follows Justice Akazuka (nickname Seigi), a young man who is good at martial arts. Seigi rescues a homeless old man on the street one day from some thugs, and the man gives Seigi an object that imprints a tattoo on his palm.

Also worth knowing: However, it is not an average tattoo, but a special weapon that gives Seigi supernatural powers such as warping space-time. Seigi then crosses paths with a female American agent named Ijii, whose duty is to recover the tattoos. Seigi chooses to help her and gets wrapped up in a cross-national conspiracy.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Bluesy Fluesy (Mikako Komatsu) and Lisa Lovelock (Eri Kitamura) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
