4.5/5

Yoshino could step on me and run me over, and I’d still thank her for it.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked that this volume was more action-focused, but then Yoshino and Kirishima were the freaky power couple of all time and all was forgotten.

EVERYONE IS SO SEXYYYYYY

An unstoppable force (hot tattooed men) meets a movable object (my lack of willpower and inability to keep myself from being seduced by hot tattooed men) and disaster occurs.

“Oh, please you’re absolutely clueless. He’s a freak. He’d enjoy every second of it.”

“I dare you to try and wreck our lives. We’ll wreck you for real.”

“I know I adore you. But occasionally I get the urge to completely ruin you.”

I’ve been so starved for a female lead like Yoshino. A goddess. A menace. A girlboss who crashes her bicycle into a fight and finishes it with a taser?? That’s not just iconic—that’s legend behavior.

This entire volume was just straight peak fiction. First of all—Suou Azami biting Kirishima’s arm in the middle of a full-on brawl?? I genuinely laughed out loud. Like yes, chaos. Give me unhinged teeth-on-forearm energy every time.

Kirishima and Yoshino pulling up on Ozu?? THE power couple. The tension, the entrance, the hand placement. I was screaming. That moment was everything. The way they move in sync while still being completely off-kilter is so them and so addicting to watch.

And THEN—Kirshima solo-ing a mob of hooligans like it’s light work, Shouma and Yoshino also throwing hands, proving they’re not just standing around waiting to be saved?? Cinema. But the part that fully sent me was when they decide the final challenge with rock paper scissors—and when Yoshino loses she really went, “Best out of three??” AND THEN THEY’RE JUST OFFICIALLY DATING AFTER THAT??? Unhinged. Unserious. Perfect.

Also, I have to say… I love both Kirishima and Shouma, but Granddad kinda won this round. The moment he clocked the disguise? Badass. I knew he had that quiet sharpness. No makeup could hide the fact that his precious Yoshino got hit in the face. Grandpa really said: "I may be old, but I’m not blind."

And the twist at the end?? Kirishima getting beat too? Of course. Of course the yakuza boss pulled a reverse card. That’s the game. And I love that the manga doesn't shy away from that—no one's untouchable, not even your favourite psychotic love interest.

All in all, this volume had everything: action, tension, chaotic romance, comedy, betrayal, and character development all wrapped in one. Peak. Yakuza. Drama.

Volume 6, I’m already shaking. Let’s go!?

Complicated relationships as usual. Nowhere near to know what Kirishima's real intent is now that he has become Yoshino's boyfriend...But I enjoy their bickerings!
Update 17/11-13: Apparently Chapter 25 belongs to volume 6 so I will close this book and continue the review there.

2020-12-22: Just read Chapter 20 (20.1)

So Kirishima know that mysterious guy named Azami (?). What kind of history do they have and why is he interested in Yoshino? Btw, badass Yoshino strikes again on the last chapter. These are too short! I want more!

Who is that mysterious guy with the mask and the tattoos?

that other guy. akaza or something ohhhh id sell and organ to hit that

[Skrivena stranica · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author is what a true originality is. She makes such twisted worlds that are not overly graphic but your don't need it to be graphic to see what is happening. She makes you interested in such strange characters, strange plot, and everything. When you look at these characters you can't think about them being perfect and stuff, because they are all sick to the bone. But that's their world, twisted and strange and it all works. Why does it work? Because this author is not using her work to be political. She is writing a strange and interesting story that pulls you in.

[Dilushani Jayalath · Rating 4 out of 5]

I honestly don't know what to make of the characters anymore. If the story was updated faster I think we would be able to see the considerable character growth that Kirishima is starting to show now but unfortunately with the slow updates, I have to keep going back to reread and by the time I come back, I keep forgetting the rest. The story seems to be going in circle now and despite the art being pretty, I am growing slightly sick of it. I really don't know if I want Yoshino to end up with Kirishima or not. I just hope we'll at least get updates faster or come to a proper conclusion.

They are both crazy. I love it.

I need the guy in the mask BIBLICALLY

[p. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bumping this by (half) a star because I think I can finally see the appeal of both couples. Something very sweet about Yoshino and Shouma but the "I know I adore you. But occasionally, I get the urge to completely ruin you." is some top-notch understanding of the genre that scratches the part of my brain that is still 17 years old, you know?

i love shouma so bad …

[Belén Coronel Blanes · Rating 5 out of 5]

¿La escena en la que Kirishima y Yoshino están amenazando a Ozu? Fue tan magnífica y poderosa. Parecían una pareja de mafiosos. ¡Me encantó!
Todo el arco de la pelea con los matones fue genial. Cada vez me gusta más Yoshino, porque no es una damisela en apuros, sino que va y se defiende sola. Es inteligente, un poco imprudente y una peleadora.
¿Y él cómo determinaron si se convierten en novios o no? Fue muy gracioso pero muy obvio que Yoshino perdería. Ahora hay que ver cómo se llevarán estos dos como pareja.

[Arra · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite cover so far. Kudos to the author/artist for this powerful visual. Of course, the beautiful art style I've been seeing as well for the past five volumes. I love Asuka's eye for style when she dresses up her characters.

This volume shows Kirishima and Yoshina's undeniable chemistry—a powerful force to reckon with. You can see how they complement each other, as in Yin and Yang. They bicker and fight, but those add spice to their relationship. It is an action-packed addition to the series that will leave you wanting more.

Look at this cover.. how Shouma can looks so perfect 😭🤧 and this volume has a lot of action on it. Ughhh love it!

⭐⭐⭐,5 étoiles
Vu la tournure qu’avait prise le tome précédent, j’attendais celui-ci avec impatience et je me suis littéralement jetée dessus ! On retrouve donc nos héros là où on les avait laissés, à savoir en bien mauvaise posture pour Yoshino.

Je l’admets, je ne suis pas très fan de toute la partie baston entre Kirishima et l’un des yakusas qui en a après lui. Enfin le croit-il. J’ai trouvé ça un peu longuet. Quant à Yoshino, ma foi, on va dire qu’elle a beaucoup de chance dans son malheur et qu’elle reste assez maitresse d’elle-même malgré les situations périlleuses qu’elle enchaîne. C’est parfois assez limite d’ailleurs parce que pas très crédible (à mon sens).

Cela dit, c’est l’arrivée d’un nouveau personnage qui porte un masque qui a su renouveler mon intérêt (oui, je suis faible). Qui est-il et que veut-il à notre héroïne ? Pour l’instant, ça reste un vrai mystère. Je sens qu’on va très probablement le revoir (en fait, je sais que oui, vu que je suis le compte twitter de la mangaka). En tout cas, il est très charismatique.

En ce qui concerne la relation entre Kirishima et Yoshino, eh bien, la jeune femme constate que malgré tout, le jeune homme doit un peu tenir à elle. Enfin bon, et tout à fait entre nous, je serais à la place de l’héroïne je l’aurais fui. Il n’est franchement pas stable dans sa tête (moi, il me fait carrément peur) ! Je préfère Shôma en fait et je ne comprends pas que Yoshino ne soit pas attirée par lui plutôt que par Kirishima. Les goûts et les couleurs… (et les choix scénaristiques).

Enfin bref. Un tome en demi-teinte même si la deuxième moitié rattrape le reste. Je n’aime toujours pas Kirishima, c’est presque épidermique en fait. Donc à voir avec la suite, parce que certains personnages valent le détour et que l’histoire est quand même bien.
