tsukineko's manga / #Yakuza(116)

3.5 stars. Despite the fact that there was a lot going on in this one, I still managed to find it a little boring. It had some good elemenrs, though. I think that I just didn't care enough about the characters, (apart from Yui). Apparently, said Yui appears in "Long Way Home", so I'm off to read that next.

3.5 stars. This was really sweet, though sad. If only Yui could have his own story. Either the explanation of his relationship with his brother, or with someone else. He seems like a surprisingly sweet guy for a yakuza boss. Although as much is not said, I'm pretty sure he deliberately played cupid to the others, as he could see they were incredibly lonely, and could empathise, given his own loneliness.

The first story was entertaining in parts, but dragged on for too long, with them only having sex right at the end - It felt more like a shounen ai. The second story was ok but not brilliant - It had a good basic premise, but which was insufficiently developed, due to the story's brevity. They were both relatively entertaining, though.

Really sweet and fluffy, but completely unrealistic. Love the art style. The guys are all gorgeous, plus there's a beautiful kitty to boot.

I really want to read this! 1. Hana to Ryuu 2. Sessa Takuma 3. Kizuna 4. Gun and Heaven ('Kizuna' takes place in the same universe, (w/ different mcs), about 5-10 years later.)

First read 'Takaga koi darô'.
