地獄楽 [Jigokuraku] Series by Yūji Kaku, 賀来ゆうじ, Gemma Tarrés Guasch

Gabimaru the Hollow is one of the most vicious assassins ever to come out of the ninja village of Iwagakure. He’s ruthlessly efficient, but a betrayal results in him being handed a death sentence. He has only one hope—in order to earn his freedom, he must travel to a long-hidden island and recover an elixir that will make the shogun immortal. Failure is not an option. On this island, heaven and hell are just a hair’s breadth away.

Standing in his way are his fellow convicts and the fearsome beasts that roam the island, devouring or killing anyone they encounter. As Gabimaru and his executioner explore the island, they come under attack from creatures that resemble gods but behave like devils. Is this the holy land or hell itself?
