In Japan, do you really need to make an appointment with counseling and follow-up to get a tattoo? O.O
Tattoos are a much bigger deal in Japan, as they’re usually looked down upon and most jobs won’t hire you, as tattoos have a long history with the yakuza (Japanese mafia)
Even in the states it's similar. You can do a walk-in at some places, but usually you need at least an initial consultation unless it's a really simple piece.
I guess it depends on where you live in the State's. I have 3 tattoos and all of mine were just walk-ins, and no one even mentioned a consultation.
*and I live in the States as well. I guess I should have added that. :-)
From what I heard in japan need to have like a certificate to do tattoo. Like how doctors gets licence and such. Yeah I just heard that from pewdiepie's video when went and got a tattoo in japan :3 (atleast how I understand 'cause I was playing while listening to the the video as a background noice)
Everyone defends Yagisawa, but didn't he attempt to rape Maki in chapter 4? I mean he had him pinned to the ground crying and begging him to stop, and fingering him against his will when Haruya came in.
Now, I'm not crazy about Haruya, but Make was just a stupid innocent kid and that kinda turned me off Yagisawa. He was wronged, but he shouldn't be allowed to act like that and have people say he's the good guy here.
I really love this yaoi, it's one of my absolute favorites! The uke is super adorable and the seme is really a good guy to him. It makes me feel fluffy inside. :-3
Does anyone have any recommendations of yaoi similar to this one?
They're such a wonderful couple! I know some others that you might like:
1. XXX Allergy by Hinohara Meguru
2. Eigyou Nika by Kanai Kei
This is one of my top favorite manga. The seme is so sweet, funny and supportive. The uke is precious and oblivious, at the beginning he gives this cute little speech about Toujou-san and says things like "It looks like it'll be really fun being with him. I want him to kiss me lots. Not just him kissing me, I want to be the one to do a lot of things to him, like biting him sweetly, I want to do so many things to him." Then he's sitting there like a sad panda because he's convinced it'll never happen, and Toujou sees him not knowing what he's thinking about, he assumes Ayumu is just tired/ill so he makes him rest his head on his lap. Waaah they're too much!
3. Liquor & Cigarette by Zaria Ranmaru
4. Chotto Matte yo Hanaya-san by Machiya Hatoko
They look really good! Thank you! You're amazing. :-3
There are so many dark/rapey manga out there that I always really appreciate the super sweet ones.
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them! I do like some dark manga, but eventually I just want to read something that will make me smile and shows a healthy relationship, you know? It's way too hard to find! If you want to see more cotton candy moments and you don't mind possible spoilers, I also have an album of approx. 200 images of G/PG pure fluffy cuteness. I titled it simply "Adorable". (⌒▽⌒) I can't promise that all of the images are from entirely light-hearted manga, but the selected pages are really doki doki parts.
Try Golden Sparkle. o:
I've already read two of these, and adore them!! so I will definitley be looking at the other two as well! Many thanks on your recommendations!!
I also recommend "Darlin', Iikagen ni Shiya Gare" by the same mangaka, I just discovered it after reading Golden Sparkle. Thanks for your rec!
Another that I found:" Yamete Kudasai, Mabushii Desu". It's just shounen-ai though, normally I prefer characters that are a bit more mature and older, but I still enjoyed it as an antidote to dark manga with toxic relationships. Also, supportive friends help the couple get together!
I really like this yaoi, but am I the only one who's upset that Yagami got exactly what he wanted? He was responsible for Shigure's death, was a manipulative asshole to Haru and essentially forced Yuki back into the Yakuza life because of Haru and he got to be the group head. He not only didn't get any retribution for his actions, he got exactly what he wanted. It really bothers me.
Wait, how is he responsible for Shigure’s death? Apparently Shigure was killed because he had too much info and tried to get away with Shiro, but was it really Yagami’s order? Also I don’t understand why Haru couldn’t quit the business.
Yagami wasn’t responsible for Shigure’s death. He only cares for power. He hasn’t made it to be the group head, though. The group head is that Mihara guy mentioned in chapter 6. Originally Yagami wanted to make Yukitaka his ally to aim for that position or at least to get a higher position under Mihara. Yukitaka agreed to make a deal with him to set Haru free. Yes, he was an asshole to Haru, but only because he knows Haru is capable and wants to have him as his underlings. It’s expected that as yakuza they don’t let people “leave” that easily. He didn’t force Yukitaka either. That guy didn’t expect that Yuki would side with him in exchange for Haru’s freedom.
I mean, he didn't co-sign the loan with his Dad, so isn't technically illegal to harass him for the money? He could have just refused to pay and then called the police on the guy if he didn't leave. He had some savings and it just part time at a convenient store, so in the long run having to find a new job because the loan shark harasses his current one will still be cheaper than having to pay back all that money.
In some countries, debts can be passed on to relatives. In Japan, a debt collector can go after the next of kin to collect in case of death or disappearance.
Amazon has through chapter 47 translated that you can buy and seem to be adding several chapters every month. I know not everyone can purchase it, but it's an option to those who can. Plus, it helps support the author.

Well, actually several in fact, but one in particular. In Waki's arc why on earth did the village men try to rape Uta (Rikiichi's sister) knowing how powerful they both are? I mean even if they managed to succeed at the time, they would still be dead men. They knew what Rikiichi was capable of and still pulled that? They needed to be killed for stupidity alone.
Because humanity is often proven stupid, like the famous witch hunt back when if the accused drown then they’re proven innocent but if they float then they’re witches that must burn on a stake.
It's a cute yaoi, but I have a hard time getting over the cheating. Even if it's a guy, having sex with him while engaged to someone else is cheating and isn't right, especially not on someone as cool as his fiance was. She deserved better and it made me not be able to truly like the mc.
Preach <3

It's a really good story, it's sweet and I enjoyed it, but it's more Shounen Ai than yaoi.
I was saying the exact same thing. This leans heavily on the shounen ai side of things, but such a beautiful story.
