lilithespark's manga / #Yakuza(34)

I don’t usually read yakuza stuff, but this is really good. As much as there is smut, there is some plot to go along with it. Gang politics, the mystery behind Ryu Jean’s death, the leads’ past together— It makes for a thrilling read. The side characters aren’t flat either. I like how they pretty much have their own personalities. On top of that, the size difference is pretty refreshing. If you’re into that, one of the better reads out there.

Absolutely loved the word building! This could’ve been way longer than it was. Kinda wanted more. This action-filled plot was top tier. Loved their dynamic. I appreciate how none of it seemed to be over-exaggerated like other commenters pointed out. They were just a regular couple trying to find peace. The storytelling and art (*chef’s kiss* delicious) were just too good. I personally was a big fan of Sudou’s design. I really do not have the proper words to describe it. I don’t share the same sentiment for the second couple as other people do tbh…

This is really good! A true depiction of a wholesome friendship. It illustrates Satom’s struggles with his changing voice and just youth in general pretty well. I don’t think I could see their relationship as anything other than platonic because let’s be for real… Most of the time they spend together are as a middle schooler and a middle aged man lmao. Anyway, loved the comedy! Kyouji is a silly yakuza. Their relationship is quite realistic with the pacing and everything. This is a short but also extremely immersive read.

Great continuation! Love that Satomi’s feelings are being explored. His dynamic with Kyouji is quite interesting. I also love that the other characters HAVE character as well. The storytelling is just so well done and unique. I don’t know if this will go in a romantic direction, but we’ll see.
