I love how the art style is consistently beautiful from start to finish!
I wish it was longer, but I appreciate the mangaka knowing when to end the story instead of dragging it out.
Wish we had some extras though, like them going on another date (it was literally asking to be illustrated!!!) or a scene where they tie the knot with a private yakuza ceremony (if that's a thing) and end it with some delicious love-making lasting several days
EDIT: This is too good, I wanna ramble a bit more on what I loved about it
Kiyotaka being a softie but NOT a doormat was so nice to see! I loved how he didn't go the "If you love me, you should stop k!lling people" route, or the "Why can't you tell me everything!?" route with Tenju (cough cough, looking at you Dangerous Convenience Store). he understands the yakuza life is complex, but he doesn't give Tenju a sermon on why k!lling is bad, nor does he turn irrational about Tenju's boundaries. Kiyotaka and Tenju opened up to each other once they were comfortable, not cuz they guilt-tripped each other into doing so
Mishima-sensei is such a DILF my goodness... he's officially my husband btw
all the people here are beautifully drawn, even the elderly patients were drawn with care! I'll try to find the mangaka's socials to keep up with their works
