“Book Descriptions: The Kafkaesque autobiography of a diplomat who compares himself to Rasputin, as he gets caught up in a political purge during the early 2000s. A legal thriller with a dash of geopolitics. Note: Despite the title, this manga is not a chronicle of Grigori Rasputin's life. Based on "Kokka no Wana (Trap of the State)", the autobiography of ex-diplomat and political writer Sato Masaru.” DRIVE
