nini's manga / #yakuza(32)

Yasashii Anata...

Complete | NISHIDA Higashi | 2015 released

ok where do i start wtf this was so freaking good holy shit i actually never thought that it would be this good bc of the ratings like wth this deserves atleast a 9.4 rating !! i have a lot to say abt this one bc holy shit i cried the whole time istg ㅠㅠ it wasnt even that angsty but i really felt the pain that they were feeling, the author did such a great job with the dialogues it was written so well !! ok so first the plot, this was very unique for me bc i have never read a bl manga where the pairings are like this and their introduction to each other was so interesting and adorable <3 the sparks in their eyes when they both saw each other PLS !!!!! theyre soulmates i just love the development of their relationship, it wasnt fast and it felt really natural theres something abt this couple that just really made me feel the love that they have, i felt a connection with them which is why i freaking cried the whole time reading it hhshshdh i love harumoto's bubbly personality when hes with mizuta ಥ_ಥ pls the time he gay panicked when mizuta tried to kiss him I FCKING SQUEALED !!! a yakuza freaking gay panicked thats a very refreshing to sight to see but fr he was so freaking adorable :< i just love everything abt this story ☹️ they are really really inlove with each other !! i actually started crying at the part where harumoto threw the record player along with the vinyl, my heart literally broke into pieces just like the vinyl ╥﹏╥ i bursted into tears when harumoto sobbed inside the car bc holy shit that must've been so painful for him to endure :( he needed to keep a straight face even though he knew he was hurting mizuta atm which like fuck i felt that so much ☹️ he kept telling mizuta to just cherish this moment and not ask for more bc if they become greedy then maybe all of this would be taken from them :( yall im so fcking happy theyre together harumoto deserved this so much ಥ_ಥ their first time doing it felt so sensual to me, there were so many feelings and emotions in those scenes i love it so much when harumoto said that he couldn't go with mizuta to the trip, thats when i just broke down :D like i knew it was bound to happen but it just fcking hurts to read ok but you know you're with the right person if theyre willing to spend their lives with you inside of prison, just saying ^^ their moments inside the prison was the absolute cutest, they were freaking shy to each other like they were in high school or something i just love every single second of reading this oml !! also i forgot to mention how comedic the humour is in this omg hshshhs like harumoto will be saying some painful dialogues but it will have small bits of humour into it like that time where he said something along the lines of "i felt pain, not in my ass but in my chest" ffs i was crying but then i just started laughing i hate him so much also that time where mizuta was talking abt the drugs while crouching and harumoto was just staring at his butt, but mizuta interpreted it as harumoto wanting to beat him up bc he was told to by his boss but then harumoto just straight up said that he was staring at his butt waiting for mizuta to nail him which just made me fcking throw myself to the floor hhsjdjjdj that scene was quite angsty but harumoto just so overall i would say this is one of the best bl mangas that i've read, it had a great balance of angst and fluff which i really liked !! the plot was very interesting and healthy for a bl manga, there wasnt any rape/dubcon involved which is very surprising bc this is a yakuza story so i was glad abt that ❣ plus i really love stories that has cafes as its setting idk it feels really romantic and sweet to me <3 also the fact that their yakuzas but theyre dating at a cafe or watching a kids movie is just freaking adorable fuck just everything abt this is so good !!! mizuta and harumoto are so lovable, you'll really feel attached to them and both have really great personalities will finish this comment by saying thank you to the author for creating such a masterpiece, also the art looks so stunning im obsessed mizuta with/without glasses is so hot pls !!! anyway yea im inlove with this manga i hope this gets a higher rating and more people would appreciate this kind of story bc this is what i want from bl mangas, bc recently theres not much into the plot of bl mangas, the common tropes always involves rape/dubcon which is just unfortunate :( this plot had depth but it also felt quite light and very enjoyable to read

Gokudou Darling

Complete | fujikawa ruri | 2012 released

this was your typical yakuza plot but the pairing was quite new to me, so abt the plot i mean it was kinda plain and overused (?) the sexual harassments, blackmail, and kidnap elements are there so D: i think the story had more potential but it felt rushed and incomplete bc they still haven't outright confessed their feelings to one another :< but their dynamic was kind of cute and adorable <3 i love how clingy yoshimune is in the extra ch i really love tatsumi's strong personality !! tatsumi is precious ok i will protect him at all costs overall the plot had potential and i kind of liked it but still quite plain :> the art looks amazing though so good read :D

A Kiss for Each Face

Complete | Yanase seno (柳瀬せの) | 2019 released

this was so good i need a volume 2 omfg atleast give us some extras bc i want to see more of them ╥﹏╥ the tease at the end please !!!! everything abt this was so interesting, i really like pairings where the target and assassin fall in love with each other bc there'll be a lot of plot twists and drama :> they were such an interesting couple !! alex is a puppy, he is freaking whipped for kanata okay >< kanata is such an interesting character, actually alex as well ^^ they're both hard to read, you wont know what theyre really thinking. also kanata's acting skills go off king :D alex is a very fun character, hes so funny yet dangerous he is indeed a real mafioso overall i really love this !! for a mafia story it wasnt that hard to understand, bc i've read a lot of mafia-based stories and most of them are hard to comprehend and theres a lot of terms to digest but for this one it was easy to understand and i really liked the plot !! though there were some parts that felt like plot holes, well theyre not really plot holes but i feel like it could've been explained further (ex. kanata's past, etc.) idk i just wanted more explanation !! also i was thinking why did kanata ask alex if he knows everything abt him at the end ?? there was a sus vibe happening but it ended cutely when alex said "secret" and kanata blushed hehe idk i just think this needs a volume 2 bc we haven't really seen their development as a real couple yet :( but still i loved this story very obsessed with the plot and the art style also alex's mafia members are so funny i love them this was a great read !!

Anata wa Korosu Tabi

Complete | Asai sai | 2019 released

so uh this started off meh :0 bc of the dubcon in the first chapter D: the plot was quite confusing but thanks to the comments i kind of get it now ?? (my reading comprehension sucks <3) anyway i mean the story's good, i think ?? there were some parts that i was uncomfy (but i mean maybe thats just me) i really like to read stories with tropes like this, esp assassin x target ones !! but the thing is i didnt really feel the development of their feelings (?) idk if they really love each other :0 the plot was very interesting though ^^ i wish the ending didnt just stop there and they showed us more of the couple's relationship but overall it was an ok read + art looks fantastic

Naked Sword and the Tree Peony of Black

Complete | Yukue moegi | 2019 released

i didnt expect it to be this good omfg >< i love this so much grrrr ㅠㅠ im so excited to read the author's other works bc this got me hooked !!! i love mafia bl in general but i love how this wasnt complicated and full of drama, it really focused on the couple's love and the build up of their relationship there wasnt any rape involved which is *chef's kiss* bc a lot of mafia bl always includes stuff like that im so glad that this was pretty wholesome and cute for a mafia centered plot i love how the author gave us two volumes with the first showing touma's feelings and the second one showcasing kuroi's ngl i thought it was gonna a toxic relationship at first bc touma himself acknowledged the fact that he was had a stalker-like love for kuroi but i do understand that he did that to keep him close to him (but im not excusing his actions !!) i didnt really get pissed at tokiya bc i thought of him as an instrument to make touma reassured with kuroi's feelings and kuroi was actually using him for that same reason !! i just love the plot its so good im glad that kuroi finally caved in and accepted his feelings for touma ^^ ik he was just trying to protect him but of course pushing him away would be much more painful not just for touma but for him as well :< im so glad their love is finally mutual !!! they are so domestic and i love the extras the author gave us >< i love seeing their schedule that was so freaking adorable also i didnt expect kuroi to be the power bottom omfg i love it !!!! hes always so cool <3 i love their dynamic ❣ i love seeing touma get shy or blush whenever kuroi does something that shows affection towards him pls hes so cute ╥﹏╥ both of them look so stern and scary but both of them turn soft when theyre with each other im sad ☹️ im obsessed with them ಥ_ಥ their subordinates esp hanada are so supportive and funny i love them !!! this manga is also very comedic as well as the author's notes pls theyre so funny overall i love this story, i found another masterpiece the plot is so good and smooth, the pacing is good too !! the characters are lovable and adorable we got to see the couple's past and the development of their relationship was well done ❣ i want more from them but tbh im actually satisfied with this <3 they both look so happy and thats all that matters the art looks amazing all the characters look stunning i will definitely reread this !! such a great read im glad i found this

idk how to start this bc this is so freaking ㅠㅠ im so obsessed with this story !! i was actually gonna save reading this for later since i wanted to read it after its finished but i got tempted with the plot and omg it did not disappoint at all i want more !!!!!! im excited for the update i hope we can get it soon hihi <3 since this is still ongoing my review for this one isnt final so this is prolly just gonna be short anyway uhm firstly, the humor in this manga is hilarious !! theyre all so funny the plot is so light and fun to read that i never got bored while reading this ngl i always get worried when they get injured bc there are a lot of times where they get injured but i think it gives off a comedic vibe (i.e. aki punching tako, i dont support that irl but it looks really funny here bc of the light atmosphere, this is just fiction and for fun so i enjoy reading it) >< secondly, i love all of the couple's dynamic esp aki and ueda idk i just love them so freaking much grrrr ╥﹏╥ theyre so precious and wholesome :( ueda is literally one of the best semes like LITERALLY !!! hes so understanding and caring, he tends to get soft only around aki, hes such a good and sweet person not just to aki but to everyone !! hes an amazing lover and friend <3 i really love his character hes also not the type of kind where you get frustrated bc hes "too kind", he knows the boundaries of being kind and we can also see how much he loves aki !! hes very dedicated and obsessed with aki as for aki, hes a hard person to work with, thats why hes such a great match for ueda bc hes the only one who can handle him he looks so tough but hes actually a cute soft babie that is so precious ㅠㅠ i understand ueda's "aki tendencies" hihi overall i love this !! i cant wait till this get updated <3 all the characters are so lovable and fun !! this is all that i want to say for now since this still hasn't ended hehe :D

Hatsujou

Complete | iwamoto kaoru,toriumi youko | 2013 released

without the rape this would've been a fave for me, his trauma just suddenly vanished after seeing jinguuji's wolf form which didnt make sense to me ?? ig it made sensei think that jinguuji didnt have control over his body thats why he raped him but still i wont excuse him for his actions :( i think the plot towards the end was good though !! they relationship felt quite rushed since it only had a few chapters but the end looked cute <3 ngl i didnt think that jinguuji would have a clingy and cute personality, maybe its his wolf urges that makes him look intimidating and scary at times :> overall i liked it minus the rape :) ig im glad it all worked out at the end ~ i actually started reading this bc there was a story abt babies for jinguuji's brother so im excited to see the other volumes :D i liked the art style idk theres something abt old and classic art styles hehe an ok read !!

Yokujou (IWAMOTO Kaoru)

Complete | IWAMOTO Kaoru,TORIUMI Youko | 2016 released

ok so i liked this hskdjsjjd i liked it more than the first one since i kind of felt more of their connection, but im still so confused why shirou's way of acting towards hayato changed just bc he saw him in his wolf form like how sensei changed when he saw takao's wolf form :0 it felt like stockholm syndrome-ish which made me kinda uncomfy ngl but hayato initially fell inlove bc he sensed that shirou was his fated pair so ig it was ok hehe :D overall i liked this story more since i felt more of their love for each other ^^ im excited for the sequel bc there are babies yey !!! i think the development of their relationship was relatively fast as well but i mean we saw how they loved each other even after a month of not meeting so ig its true love hihi ~ takao seems like a nice brother here im glad he was understanding as well as the dad, im glad he didnt do anything more other than threaten them since he saw that they were a fated pair :> im also glad that shirou took full responsibility and surrendered himself knowing that he might get killed bc of his love for hayato the plot is common yet somewhat unique bc of the wolf shifting but i liked it :D the art looks nice too good read !!

Mitsujou

Complete | Iwamoto kaoru,Toriumi youko | 2019 released

this is so good !! literally the best out of all the volumes ^^ there was some drama but it was overall fluffy and wholesome im glad that they both had closure with his dad and the other members of the clan and now theyre back home <3 i love how supportive both takao and sensei is !! literally the best uncles you can ask for >< their interactions in the extra is so freaking adorable i cannot ㅠㅠ the babies are too cute as well (╥﹏╥) im glad that we also got to see the development of both couples + character development for the semes hehe :D apparently theres another sequel with the twins' story that im so excited for !!! overall i love this sequel its such a great continuation for the past volumes, we got to see how the couple was doing and the plot twist that hayato was pregnant is a great addition too ❣ im glad that their family esp his dad and clan members finally accepted them and now theyre all living happily ☹️ i really love this (。>﹏<。) im glad i read the whole series ^^ almost forgot to mention this but i really liked the dialogues where hayato and shirou was talking abt living together and buying a new house in japan, i really felt their connection and how much they loved each other in that part :( i actually almost teared bc they've been through a lot the art style is still pretty as ever and i think it also improved the chibis are so cute as well <3 great read
