"Kaishaku (\u4ECB\u932F) is a group of two manga artists consisting of Hitoshi Ota (\u592A\u7530 \u4EC1, \u014Cta Hitoshi) and Terumasa Shichinohe (\u4E03\u6238 \u8F1D\u6B63, Shichinohe Terumasa). The name comes from Kaishakunin (\u4ECB\u932F\u4EBA), an appointed second person whose duty it is to decapitate one who commits seppuku - ritual suicide by disembowelment. Their anime also tends to have a happier ending after the credits on each last episode."@en . . "Kaishaku"@en . . .
