nini's manga / #Mafia(43)

Kono Yakuza, Toriko ni Shite Miseru~tsu!

Ongoing | Saaya sara | 2019 released

this was not for me jskshjshd tbh i actually liked this at first because the art style's gorgeous and i'm quite into the dynamic esp with it being the yazuka and all but the plot was just :'DD it had your typical kidnapping trope, fall for me trial, and all the yakuza stuff but the thing that irked me was when chikage threatened to kill himself just to force aizawa to confess or ig love him :'> i did have a feeling that aizawa already liked him since before but i don't get the both of them like i get his reason for pushing chikage away but like bruh :')) also not chikage guilt tripping aizawa D': if it turned out that aizawa didn't actually have feelings for him then that would've been more bad :/ overall i ws disappointed in this one sjhdjsjjd i actually had hopes bc it looked quite interesting from the first few chapters but then the kidnapping and threatening thing happened which just made me feel meh but i did like some parts like they were kind of cute when they got together ^^ also as i mentioned in the beginning, the art style is amazing !! i'm obsessed >< also chikage's dad seems nice since he's really protecting him from joining the underworld and is also trying to change their ways for the better :> despite the age gap, i think aizawa seems nice too ^^ he genuinely treasures chikage and he doesn't have that predator/pedo personality so i was comfy with their dynamic~ other than that everything was plain and a bit annoying (esp the conflicts) :< it's not horrible but just not worth my time :'>

Syunrai to Mitsu

Ongoing | Retsujyo | 2019 released

i've been waiting for this to be completed and finally i got to read it !! it was definitely worth it ^^ the first part was quite painful since i don't really like seeing child abuse and the fact that they also arrested yan even though that was clearly yuen's way to protect and defend himself :(( i also felt bad to see yuen grow up to taking in sexual requests as his part-time ig, i mean there's nothing wrong with that if you really like your job but it seemed like yuen wasn't enjoying it and it may stemmed from his trauma as a child :< i don't get why yan kept his identity from yuen like girl ㅠㅠ i know he did that in order to avoid hurting yuen more but i don't get in what way :'DD but anyway i'm glad it all worked out in the end >< i was going to rate this with 5 stars but there were some stuff that was quite a blur to me and i also felt quite annoyed by the identity thingy part but i did love the ending esp when yan cleaned his name and did his best to change for the good ^^ they also took in the kids which is just adorable ㅠㅠ i wish we got to see more of their family life >< i hope there's extras :> the art style is very pretty !! this was a good read !!

Beast & Feast

Complete | akira norikazu | 2010 released

i'm in the middle for this one~ i'm not into how they got together bc first that was straight up assault and i just felt like kazuha's feelings suddenly just blossomed out of nowhere ???? he said he never had any feelings for him 10 years ago so why is he suddenly in love with him after being assaulted ㅠㅠ anyway i think they turned out to be cute at the end idk :')) i really like the pair up but the relationship wasn't for me but it was okay ig ?? it had your common yakuza tropes like kidnapping and whatnot so yea thats about it :'DD the art style's pretty though this was not bad ig but i also didn't really enjoy it :'>
