Plot[]
Sawyer is a cleaner who undertakes the disposal of unwanted people in Roanapur, a city of villains such as the mafia. Her daily life is depicted in a funny, sometimes horror-filled, sometimes action-packed, and even fantastical way as she engages in her work with her favorite chainsaw. Sawyer's good friends and fellow freelancers Shenhua and Lotton, as well as familiar main characters like Revy and Rock, also make appearances!
