hana's manga / #Yakuza(22)

Totally Captivated

Complete | YOO Ha jin | 2008 released

Absolutely love, love this manga. Manga was long, giving a deep, meaningful storyline as well as depth in character development. I greatly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend this! Now... If only I can find another (or a few) great reads such as this one.

The 2 short stories were uninteresting. I enjoyed the main story, but it could certainly need a few more chapters. Too short and abrupt.

A very highly intensive story with sex scenes that are mind-blowing. Sorry it really turned me on. lol The only gripe I have is that the story is not long enough to show where the passion stemmed from. Also, the sex scene on the cruise while Ranmaru was being chased is not very realistic, I guess? Who would in their right mind have sex while knowing they're being chased. It would have made better sense if they had sex after the incident. Not to downplay the sex scene of course, but nonetheless the scenes could have been better if flipped.

Wild Ones

It's quite a funny manga. The story certainly doesn't depict the life of a true yakuza, because this family is very friendly and giving. The only mean part is when they give a scary expression but that's it. They're sweethearts. The story however, could use a little more drama, I thought it was really light hearted, so if that's the goal then I suppose the author did a good job. However, because there were drama and hardships in the manga, I thought those could have been better presented. It didn't show how emotional and tragic those circumstances truly, just a glimpse of its true nature. So those parts were taken rather for granted and not given enough depth, which could have enhanced and engaged the reader more. If I could give a 4.5, I'd give that. But because there isn't, I suppose I'll lean towards 5, since 4 seems a little too unfair.

Yankumi: "I've never hit a woman before" Minoru: "You...just how much more masculine are you going to get?" There are so many funny scenes that you can't help but laugh out loud! Yankumi is awesome, Shin is a sweetheart, and at the end being brain washed by the host was just hilariously cute that it even got to Yankumi! Lmao I wish there was a continuation of this, and some more lovely dovey between Yankumi and Shin. She is so awkward that it's hilarious to watch Shin tame her! A re-reread for sure!
