fujomom's manga / #yakuza(33)

First story: yankee uke who feels inadequatexmiddle aged manager pervert. It's an ok story, though nothing too interesting. I liked the look of the yankee a lot. 2nd story)recently dumped and overworked doctorxsorta ex-yakuza. Doctor amused me at the end, like the look of the yakuza seme. 3rd story)fairly unique. Recently fired and evicted guy returns to his hometown and bumps into his first love, a blind neighbor, who he gave a BJ to when he was completely wasted and feels guilty about. They both this that the other person hates them. Kinda liked the last story the best because of the uniqueness. The art style was fairly old looking, but didn't have super girly ukes, thank goodness.

College guy works in a gay bar part time, but gets threatened by a loan shark because a friend co-signed him up for a loan when he was drunk and then skipped town. A mysterious bar patron pays off his loan in exchange for his body, and then the college boy finds out that the patron is actually the head of a yakuza group. Nice, sexy art style and amusing story.

A werewolf yaoi! Interesting! Timid teacher has to go to the house of a student who hasn't been to school in a while, to try to get him to come back. When he's there the student basically rapes him, then stalks him at school to have his way with him some more. When the student comes to his house the teacher tries to defend himself and accidentally stabs the student, who them transforms into a wolf. The student tells him how he's a werewolf and if anyone else finds out, or if anyone finds out that he knows it could mean death. The student keeps forcing himself on the teacher but, despite that, they grow close and the teacher starts protesting less and less. Just as he's realizing he's in love with the student he gets kidnapped by the werewolf yakuza family, who found out that he knows. If this wasn't so rapey then i'd have given this more stars, but oh well.

Hmmm, this is good but I find it frequently confusing, especially in the beginning when I had no idea who was who. This centers around 3 couples and switches back and forth frequently. First it’s about Ito, who leaves his family home to go live in the country, but when easily scared by bugs one too many times runs outside butt-naked and runs into Hitomi, the gay town doctor who is interested in Ito immediately. They end up being a fairly minor couple in this manga. Then there’s Sawato, the lead vocalist of a band who returns home to take up a town-chief role after his famous and adored grandma passes away. He is pursued by the cheeky Daito, who Sawato really hates until his elderly housekeeper (I think) get sick. Daito comforts (non sexually) him and genuinely helps him and then Sawato agrees to help him in exchange for Daito creating pottery for some kind of town event. Then one day Daito get knocked unconscious during a mudslide and loses all his memories of when they grew especially close. Sawato is crushed emotionally, but Daito falls for him all over again. Lastly, there’s the abused Hizuru and yakuza Youmei, who (I think) was in love with the murdered former yakuza head. Poor Hizuru is in unrequited love with the broken, emotionally empty Youmei. Finally, they seem to turn a corner when Hizuru asks to sever their relationship because he has to go kill the recently discovered murderer, but he gets kidnapped with Ito, who’s there coincidentally.

Ugh, this was so cute. Then I read it all and realized it's not complete and hasn't been updated in 6 years grrr...... Ukyou, son of a yakuza head is in love with a ramen shop owner that is in deep debt with a rival yakuza clan. Because of the debt, being almost raped by yakuza thugs, and his mom abandoning him for a yakuza when he was a kid he hates them all. So, Ukyou pretends to be a nobody, starving and homeless, so he's taken in, fed, and given a job by the store owner. Ukyou ends up freeing him from the debt but the store owner still doesn't know his true identity. Then it ends like that! Ugh! Want more!

Hm, kinda interesting plot-wise. Buff cop approaches smaller, scarred yakuza guy and out-right, amiably proposes that he become his informant. The yakuza guy agrees in exchanged for sex, which the cop easily agrees to even though he says he's never been with a man before. I don't really mind the fact that the big, muscley cop being the uke goes against the norm in yaoi manga, but I thought the easy, emotionless way the cop just went along with everything was weird. Gave me the creeps a little bit.

Yakuza Hasegawa Takiji runs some kind of dating scam and one day his system gets hacked by a teenager named Fushimoto, who because he has trouble remembering faces has distanced himself from all people even to the point where he doesn't like to be touched. So, instead of torturing him normally Taki screws him. Not a pleasant story but interesting characters.

Cute. Kotaro, a naive yakuza family kid, immediately admires Toraji, a flowerist and ex-yakuza, after he sees him tackled mugger. He wants Toraji to be like a yakuza “big brother”. Toraji doesn’t know why Kotaro pays so much attention to him but starts thinking he’s cute, until he finally kisses him.

Tatsumi is a poor host who’s recently re-married mom died in an accident with her husband, who was the head of a yakuza group. One day Tatsumi’s boss asks him to take in for a little bit their new host Yoshimune. Yoshimune is actually his stepbrother and the new yakuza boss, and wanted to know why Tatsumi never claimed his inheritance. He tries to make Tatsumi stay with the Yakuza and quit being a host. Yoshimune goes from being a ruthless flirt to a deeply in love flirt and Tatsumi doesn’t know how to deal with him. Good story, good relationship development.

Multiple stories all about the people living in the same apartment building. ch1) Ushio is the landlord of a struggling apartment building that he inherited. Ryou is a carpenter who comes to fix it and recognizes Ushio, who was a childhood friend of his that he had a falling out with. 2)Kazuaki and Kunio are freshly graduated college boys who are in a relationship and just beginning to live together. Kazuaki is starting to feel anxious about their relationship, worrying about it falling apart one day. When he expresses his worry Kunio is upset and disappears for a week, showing up at Kazuaki's parent's house. 3-4) Narumi is a good guy who takes on a friend's debt and is hounded by Tsuji, a yakuza-style debt collector. Tsuji, though, can see he's a good guy and treats him better than most debt collectors will. This are thrown off when, upset at the idea of Tsuji never coming around anymore, Narumi hides his last payment, pretending like he doesn't have the money. 5) Isecchi is a college boy getting his first apartment and discovers his old high school dormmate, Kunnai, whom he once did sexy things with, is moving next door to him. Kunnai asks to stay in his room because his room's ceiling is leaking. Isecchi is struggling to hold onto his self-control when Kunnai confesses that he's always liked him and had purposely followed him to college and the apartment building. All these stories were cute! This was one of those everyone-is-gay mangas lol
