Bullet Train by Kotaro Isaka

Five assassins. One train. No way out.

On board a high-speed bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka, five killers with conflicting missions find their fates entangled. There’s Nanao, the unlucky hitman trying to complete a simple job; the deadly duo Lemon and Tangerine transporting a kidnapped boy; a schoolboy with revenge on his mind; and a mysterious mastermind pulling the strings.

As the train hurtles through the night, alliances shift, chaos erupts, and survival becomes a matter of cunning and chance. Fast-paced, darkly comic, and brimming with razor-sharp tension, Bullet Train is a masterclass in cinematic storytelling—a violent, witty, and wildly unpredictable thriller that never slows down.
