Yugo The Negotiator

Synopsis

The notion that words can be wielded like weapons in the art of negotiation lies at the heart of the acclaimed manga Yu-go, which ran in Kodansha's Afternoon Magazine for over ten years. Beppu Yuugo is recognized as the world's finest negotiator, relying exclusively on the power of speech. Rather than turning to violence or intimidation, he draws upon extensive knowledge and calm logic, placing his faith in the fundamental humanity of others. This approach has brought him success in countless high-stakes negotiations. The story focuses on two of his most significant cases—one set in Russia and another in Pakistan—where Yuugo confronts his opponents amid the unforgiving conditions of the Pakistani desert and the frozen expanses of Siberia.
