Love Is Not Enough

I think this wasn’t a really happy ending for Yuri. Now, she has no friends, no family (other than Oya and the child), will spend all her energy to getting accepted by Oya’s parents and the Oya syndicate, won’t have the freedom to do whatever she wanted anymore, will always have a target on her back (including the child), will have to experience more trauma and violence and be able to tolerate it, deal with Oya’s burden, have guilt towards her former family and friends, and the list goes on.
I don’t think she’ll regret her choice now but overtime she will. Tbh, her life will just be filled with loneliness and Oya and the child will not be enough to fill the loneliness and the harsh reality of being in the Yakuza, no matter how much he wants to make her happier after she sacrificed so much for him. I think this mangas message (among others) is that sacrificing your life for a dangerous man will come at a huge price. Honestly, Yuri could have broken up with Oya and find another man and still lived a safer life while keeping her loved ones, especially since she was happier when her family and friends were involved in her life.
