'''Jackals''' is a {{Manga}}[[labelnote:*]]Yes really, some mistake it as Manhwa due the artist being Korean, it is only partially drawn in korea, but the final touches and publication are all in Japan[[/labelnote]] written by ''Shinya Murata'' and drawn by ''Byun-Jin Kim''. It chronicles the life of a [[ProfessionalKiller mercenary]] named Nichol, son of another mercenary, in Friedrichs town of Cicero City, which also houses other mercenaries generally grouped under the titular ''Jackals'' and two major gangs, the {{Mafia}}-like Gabriella and the Triad-like Tennouren. The story kicks off when Nichol, after finishing one of his jobs, is assaulted by a Gabriella executive and kills him in retaliation, causing the rest of Gabriella to hunt him. However, they are impeded by the ever-growing Tennouren, who just loses their former leader who is swiftly replaced by his genius daughter.

* ExaltedTorturer: Domino.

* FemmeFatale: Arshela, complete with the [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent snake-headed]] whip.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: ... after Lee Mei Lang takes control, she starts hiring just about everyone she can think of.

* ChinesePeople: Tennouren, that is, until Lee Mei Lang takes control...
** EqualOpportunityEvil: ... then she starts hiring just about everyone she can think of.

* FeelNoPain: Domino once gets ''stabbed at her heart''. She then proceeds to torture her assailant as if nothing happened. A few chapters after that, she also happily slices her own tongue in the midst of torturing her victim.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: So '''''deliciously''''' subverted it makes the series stand out for this. Not only has pure {{Badass}} Nichol been trained by his... '''MOTHER''' - you read that right - but also the BigBad is... a WOMAN, and she is even better than her father in her evildoing.

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:While Lee Mei Lang does escape with Sheryl for [[PragmaticVillainy practical reasons]], she also did it as a favor to Roxy (for Roxy's reasons, see Mama Bear) and because if Sheryl ''DID'' hang around while Nichol and Huya fought, she'd definitely get hurt somehow.]]

* NoShirtLongJacket: Nichol. Huya mixes this with [[BandagedBabe bandages.]]

* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome: Roxy is very badly injured in her fight with her son, enough so that he's convinced he killed her. She then marches up who knows how many flights of stairs just in time to do a BigDamnHeroes for Sheryl via [[KarmicDeath decapitating]] [[AssholeVictim Shao the Decapitator]]. She then proceeds to HumanShield Sheryl long enough for Nichol and Huya to get the drop on Franco and his guards. BADASS, THY NAME IS ROXY.]]

* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:Roxy tanks a truly frightening amount of damage before death.]

* NoShirtLongJacket: Nichol. Huya mixes this with [[BandagedBabe bandages]]

* CreepyChild: Julio Angelo.
