muse ✨'s manga / #Yakuza(60)

The granddaughter and fourth generation of a yakuza family follows her dream to become a teacher, transforming the lives of the students in her care. Her other dream is a life with the family's lawyer, but one of her students, Sawada Shin, has his eye on her. SPOILERS This is officially the best thing I've ever read. I devoured this across a few days. Ojou is precious, hilarious, loyal, and so relatable. I expected she'd end up with the lawyer, and that Shin would grow wiser after his first love, but no!!! She fell in love with Shin after he graduated! We get to watch their relationship develop across a couple of years. I'd love to see them in the future after he has graduated law school and they succeed the group. Aw I bet they'll have kids too. :-DDDDDDDD I'm pretty sure, after extensive googling and my poor ability to read kanji, that this is the 4-panel manga from a 2009 release showing their two kids: https://up.gc-img.net/post_img/2017/09/fgPHGvzbTBoVKHg_lRWj9_99.jpeg The first baby is calling out "Techya!" and striking his face. He increasingly experiences more pain and finally says, "Seriously??" I haven't translated the final panel yet but I think it mentions blood. From https://girlschannel.net/comment/1360570/99/ The panel and the magazine containing it were listed in the Japanese Gakusen wikipedia.

A country doctor finds a man with his throat slit, bleeding out in the snow, and takes him home. And then they fall super in love and have a ton of sex! And adopt a kid for a while, meet old friends, make some great food, and grow old. No death, but we see them together many years later. I cried. One character is a former prostitute. He'll use this to his advantage at one point (he sleeps with someone to get something even though he's in a relationship), and we also see flashbacks of him with his former lover. He and his current partner are very happy.

Prequel to Gravity Eyes Long-time lovers and heirs to rival yakuza groups hit rough waters when one agrees to marriage and the other is pursued by the puppy-like host Kyoya (who will get his own happy ending in Gravity Eyes). Injured over his lover's seeming infidelity, Homura temporarily dates the sweetly persistent Kyoya -- something that set the comments section aflame. I thought it was a totally reasonable move by someone who is heartbroken and devastated, but then I've been heartbroken and devastated. If I'd read this while younger, I might have been mad too.
