“I was born to live with this person.” Mio married her first love, a yakuza lieutenant named Yamato Kujo. They became accustomed to life in their new home and have lived each day confirming their love for each other. Each of them started to envision their happy future, but having said that, Yamato heads to the regular meeting still unable to stop Shirosaki…
The fact I read volume 1 to 7 in one day says enough about the pacing. The story is interesting and the characters feel really grounded and you are rooting for (most of) them.
Still despite my somewhat love for yakuza type stories (more yankees) I think I will forget everything about this story in about 6 months. It's not bad at all yet... there is something missing. Maybe because every thing is a bit too subtle? The humour, the story, even the love between the main characters? Which seems outrageous to say because their love is very strong. It is also based on both characters knowing in what kind of world they are living in.
But still, maybe I need some drama in these kinds of yakuza type stories. Which is a bit of a shame.
****** SPOILER ALERT ***** I really enjoyed this story about Ryuki and Shirosaki's lives. Instead of focusing on members of the Yakuza, ( of which these 2 were a part of), it got really in to depth as to why they talk about Yamato's brother the way they do. And it explains something or maybe not about Shirosaki. I am also scared to death for Shiki and Akari. Shirosaki will kill both of them if he finds them together. Can't wait for #8 This is a MUST READ!
The wife sucks and I’m only invested in the yakuza part of the story. Seriously, the romance sucks so badly! In my opinion, the glasses guy and the sister have a better romance story than the main couple, and I think they would’ve been better for the main story.
