Agreed, it's fine as a manga and means it wont have to be censored. (It's also one I keep re-reading too, probably my favourite)
Details like Hirata got jealous because at the group meeting to celebrate the release of a member from prison, Misumi broke hierarchy by sitting next to a sub group head (Yashiro). All add up when presenting his envy, and how it ended up being manifested.
Or all the times, after Yashiro gets worked up about Kagema he went to Doumeki to distract himself and rely on him. Like the scene where he gets frustrated that Kagema thinks he is pitiful because of his past child abuse, and that he thinks he is still emotionally stuck there .... Yashiro takes Doumeki to the cinema, and then allows himself to fall asleep on Doumeki's shoulder.
yes! so agree
Yep, I'm re reading it (again, ha!) and thoughts these wee earlier details stood out so far, in relation to how the plot currently is.
Every time I read it there's something blatant I missed earlier reads. Well. Blatant for me, maybe, or just connecting parts I didn't get before but still. I would no more see this animated than anything Scarlet Beriko and for me to put this with 'Jealousy' is ... well. It's huge and that's all.
This series and Jealousy are probably my most re-read too! Yashiro and Rogi are just interesting, complex characters and the plot with this one, has all these wee details that seem quite irrelevant at first, but as you said, they all add up into forming this quite tangled plot that tackles the quite hard subject of trauma, showing how different characters manage their trauma.
Misumi making a comment that Yashiro has never had sex with anyone he loves (which seemed to make Yashiro a bit upset), then all Doumeki could think was "oh he hasn't slept with Kagema then". I think it was before this when Yashiro ended up getting upset because Doumeki mentioned that Kagema was the person he (Yashiro) was on about when he was talking about only ever feeling love for one person, because he said he didn't want Doumeki to see that side of him.
It's interesting the comment Kagema made about Yashiro's lack of emotional growth, as although he obviously has matured, it seems Yashiro still retains some of those defense or coping mechanisms he used as a kid. (Ignoring the obvious one) things like deflecting conversations that become too personal, brushing everything off with sarcasm, having apathy to the severity of just how awful situations are just because he doesn't want to be regarded as a "victim" and pitied.
Whoa. Excellent insights! I'm over here gloating for days but can't think how to phrase it - Yashiro's honesty *is* obscene ... he can't be dominated, intimidated, used (well okay used but he's the one topping the use) ... and what is Yakuza all about if not control and nobody has that over Yashiro ... but I can't say it better ... yet. Kind of along your train of thought about his getting upset with Domeki's insights - insights are his downfall because he's built a solid wall between himself and what happens to his body that it's dangerous as all get out to permeate. I can't phrase it better but is in my head and YES shares that with Rogi Uichi (omg you think I'm nuts about this update wait WAIT until chapter 9 Jealousy comes online I'll have to be sedated) both using that as their shield it *is* honest, but because of it is also obscene and they throw that in everyone's face...
Agree! (⌒▽⌒)
Also, the Gouda group & Sanwakai group were first mentioned here

I guess I'm the only one who has to phonetically sound out the other group because my eye sees 'Masturbatory Group'; right?
(Another more light hearted detail)
"Aaaaargh" "Why are you running?" why are you running

"Wow. It's like a car chase in the movies." http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/saezuru_tori_wa_habatakanai/mf/6ba770cf8927a77ff194ed50229a1153_chapter-3/pg-23/
"My bangs are crunchy" (is another top fave)
I can't believe I did a total re-read and will probably do another before the END of July - omg this series always wrecks me for manga/anime for days ... nothing compares.
*sigh*
Guys, I see talk about anime ... I wouldn't want this made into an anime because it would get so whitewashed/homogenized not one of us would recognize it.
This story is ultimate because all its' layers, implications are in tact all carried by the art and humor. I wouldn't trust anyone to mess with this. No one.
