When feisty college student Yuri is attacked at a party, she’s saved by Toshiomi Oya, the underboss of a yakuza syndicate. Despite her obvious attraction to him, she convinces herself that she’s not in the market for a bad boy type. But when they meet again, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him—kicking off a steamy and dangerous love affair that threatens to consume her, body and soul.

Oya and Yuri must overcome one last obstacle if they hope to escape the Shéxiē’s underwater lair—Oya’s older brother Mao. Just as Oya gains the upper hand, nostalgia for the better days with his estranged brother gets the best of him. Can Oya find it in himself to pull the trigger and end this threat once and for all?

Honestly I didn't care about the storyline with Oya and his brother. I feel bad, but the relationship felt rushed and thrown in.
One of the only redeeming qualities were the short stories at the end. Super cute really 💗

I just didn't care much for the brother sub-plot, though it was nice to get to know Oya a bit more. It just felt rushed...

Molto interessante perché fa vedere il passato di Oya e Mao ed erano davvero dolcissimi, con un legame forte e splendido nonostante Mao sia diventato crudele a causa di sua madre che lo ha spinto all’odio verso Oya. Sono stupefatta dal sacrificio di Oya per salvare Yuri e anche triste e arrabbiata per il fatto che Mao voglia ucciderlo a tutti i costi nonostante lui lo abbia risparmiato. Fortunatamente anche se ferito Oya riesce a tornare da Yuri e ribadisco che Oya era dolcissimo da piccolo e il rapporto tra Oya e Yuri è speciale.

อ่านจบละ 10 เล่ม ไม่ได้คาดหวังอะไรจากมังงะโชโจแนวมาเฟียยากูซ่าเท่าไหร่ แต่เรื่องนี้สนุกกว่าที่คิดแล้วก็ภาพสวยด้วย คือ ยากูซ่าหรือพระเอกเนี่ยมีความmasculine น้อยกว่าที่คิด ในเรื่องของรูปร่าง หุ่นลีนมาก แล้วก็พวกซีนเซ้กอะไรงี้ไม่ได้อยู่พวกโดมิเน้นหรือมีความรุนแรงน่ากลัวเลยง่ะ เป็นbottomยากูซ่าที่คำนึงเรื่องconsent5555 ก็น่ารักดี เรื่องไม่ค่อยมีอะไรเลย พวกตลคใหม่ๆที่พยยจะใส่มาเป็น อุปสรรคความรักแต่ละเล่มก็ไม่ค่อยมีอะไร5555 แต่เล่ม10นี่น่าสนใจดี ปมพี่ชายพระเอก ชอบนะๆ เรื่องนี้แอบให้คนละความรู้สึกกับเจ้าสาวยากูซ่า สนุกดีีี อยากหาแนวมาเฟียที่ไม่ท้อกซิกเกินอ่านอีก5555

what the hell, this volume was actually good? i can't believe i praise a yakuza lover volume
the action was thrilling
and i actually felt emotion for the first time between the leads. oya and yuri don't feel like paper characters anymore, oya has a backstory and yuri expressed how it felt to wait for him
if the story wasn't so rushed in this volume, i would have gave it 4 stars. i liked the whole story in this volume, but it was messy and hard to read, it was too fast passed
extra points for the art style. i don't know what changed, but it looks amazing in this volume

Lots of emotion and drama in this one! In this volume we see a better focus on the emotional connection between Yuri and Oya and how much they truly love each other. The latter parts of this volume are sweet but so sad! I really like how much more depth their relationship has and how the plot has improve. Very good volume!

I really enjoyed the action and suspense this volume had. Following the ups and downs of Yuri and Oya in this series, I say this volume really pulled on my heartstrings. I also enjoyed seeing some content about Oya’s past and relationship with his brother. Can’t wait to read the next 2 volumes to see how this series ends.

Rating: 4.5 stars

a lot of flashbacks and action...but not the steamy kind, so was a bit boring. lol. the art and the story is not strong enough here to make these kinds of chapters as riveting, though it was quite dramatic. oya finally returns to her in the end though, so next volume better be busy ♡(>ᴗ•)

The story cut off to a short story from months earlier what the crap. Is he alive or not? Or was she imagining him coming home I'm so confused with this one!

THIS BOOK IS TRASH AND I AM ALSO TRASH BECAUSE I LOVE IT!

Seriously, it was fun to get some back story and I actually teared up in a few spots!

Again, this series knows what it is, even while this volume in particular was more sad and action-packed.
