My exact feeling. I've been following the romance, but can't get the plot anymore. "Part 1" had loads of interesting yakuza dramas because all characters were directly involved and there were fewer relevant names, like Hirata and Ryuuzaki. Now there's loads of name dropping of underlings that show up for 1 or 2 chapters, that take long ass time to update, plus Yashiro being loosely involved. It's kind of interesting how the yakuza is just background, but I felt like before it was worthy to follow every single detail, so I kept trying with this part to no avail. It lacks on the romance part as well, development is slow af. I still love it tho. Just needed to rant, sorry lol
For the first act (when Doumeki was in Yashiro's group), there's a great video on YouTube summarizing the structure of the yazuka families/branches and the events. If there's one for the current act where Doumeki's under Tsunakawsa now, someone should post it so we can all catch up every now and then
oooh that would be amazing! theres lots on info in the translator notes and on tumblr from what I hear too !
in all honesty tho, as much as i love this series, I can't be bothered to be constantly researching to understand whats happening lol
i used to love this manga and was so excited for each chapter, but the recent chapters (like past two years worth lol) have been very focused on the yakuza drama with names dropping here and there that i find it very difficult to follow in between long releases. Maybe I just need to re-read idk but i'd actually appreciate dumbing down the drama between other characters.
