Ballot of Retribution

In the fictional East Asian nation of Seihanto, second-generation crime lord Kazuki Shindo seeks to legitimize the Yamagami-gumi syndicate by secretly funding a political campaign to elect a friendly prime minister. When a post-election lawsuit exposes a calculated vote-value disparity engineered to favor urban districts his businesses rely on, the very constitutional challenge he covertly designed to secure his empire becomes a trap. Old-guard elders, who see honor in shadow, turn against him, while an uncompromising Supreme Court justice and a relentless investigative journalist close in. As the legal noose tightens, Shindo discovers that the electoral manipulation he once used to bury a rival's ambition decades ago is now the mirror reflecting his own downfall, proving that retribution is simply a closed loop of cause and effect stretched across time.
