Twittering birds never fly 6- A Wounded king and a stone-faced knight!!
⚠️ Warning: This review contains feelings, spoilers, and an unhealthy attachment to broken men in suits...
Mood: Screaming into a velvet pillow while emotionally chain-smoking fictional cigarettes. 🚬
🔪 RECAP:
Yashiro? High-functioning masochist, boss of a Yakuza family, knee-deep in trauma and tragic daddy issues.
Domeki? Ex-cop. Strong. Silent. Celibate. (Yes, still. Somehow. Don’t ask. We’re all suffering.)
Volumes 1–5 gave us slow-burn tension, gorgeously illustrated pain, longing, blood, flashbacks that gutted us, and about seventeen layers of “I want you but I can't have you.”
And now... we arrive at Vol. 6.the first three volumes were adapted into anime films, The Clouds Gather and The Storm Breaks, and YES, I devoured them like a starved gremlin with a kink for quiet tension and repressed yearning
🕷 “This ain’t just yaoi, it’s emotional WAR. Volume 6 came for my throat and then offered me a cigarette like Domeki in the rain. Let’s unpack the mess, shall we?”
🤺Yashirois a high-ranking yakuza boss, outwardly confident, emotionally wrecked, and a self-proclaimed masochist. Scarred from childhood abuse, he believes he’s incapable of love, unworthy of softness, and addicted to pain.
🕴🏻Doumekiis his newly assigned bodyguard. Tall, quiet, and emotionally repressed in his own way, he is a man with a past of his own—one that includes losing his ability to perform sexually. Ironically, that makes him safe in Yashiro’s eyes.He doesn’t say much, but oh—when he acts, he bleeds for him. Literally. (Remember the finger scene in Vol. 6? Yeah, that.)
💥 Their Dynamic?
Yashiro and Domeki are not your average emotionally stunted, trauma-bonded duo—they’re a walking Greek tragedy with guns and cigarette smoke.
📌 The Vibe?
Yashiro keeps pushing, testing, seducing—convinced no one can love him.
Domeki keeps staying, watching, enduring—quietly proving he can.
It’s all:
"Don’t love me." — "Too late."
"Touch me." — "I already do, with everything but my hands."
What begins as a professional relationship quickly becomes something more—something tangled in longing, restraint, and unspeakable tenderness.Yashiro tests Doumeki relentlessly, almost begging to be rejected. But Doumeki stays, protects, and never crosses the line, even when Yashiro tries to tempt him.Over five volumes, their relationship simmers under trauma, loyalty, and power dynamics. When Yashiro is nearly killed, and Doumeki is forced to protect him with violent consequences, the emotional wall cracks wide open.
Yashiro is barely holding it together. He’s spiraling, unraveling, self-sabotaging harder than ever.
Domeki, our emotionally constipated wall of strength, reaches his damn limit. He’s done waiting. Done holding back. Done pretending like he doesn’t care.
The big moment?
👉 Domeki finally confronts Yashiro and says he's in love with him.
Not “I’m here to serve you.” Not “I’m loyal.”
L-O-V-E.
Cue my scream.🤸🏻♀️
And Yashiro? The man literally runs.
Not metaphorically. Not emotionally.
Like… full-on leaves-the-room, can't-deal, panic response. That’s how terrified he is of love.
On top of that emotional landslide, there’s rising gang tension. Old enemies resurfacing. Yashiro’s carefully built image of control? Cracking.
Domeki quits. (Yes, QUITS.) 🤦🏻♀️Says he won’t stay just to watch Yashiro destroy himself.
THE DRAMA. THE AUDACITY. THE POWER.I feel like a divorced aunt screaming at a soap opera, clutching my pearls....
📌he Blueprint for Breakdown
📍 Mafia kingpin with more trauma than bullets in his gun. Still fine though.
📍 Emotionally constipated bodyguard who’d rather bleed than speak his feelings? Yes chef.
📍 One-sided pining but the side keeps flipping like a hot pancake of pain.
📍 He said “don’t touch me” and then touched him anyway. (Help.)
📍 Unspoken devotion. Cigarette smoke. Tension so raw it could be served rare.
📍 He cuts his finger to apologize. I cut emotional ties to stay sane. Same energy.
📍 Daddy issues? Locked and loaded.
📍 “I want you to be safe.” — Translation: I’d die for you but won’t say it out loud.
📍 Power dynamics that whisper "forbidden" and scream "just kiss already."
📍 Touch-starved men, gunshot wounds, and silent yearning? Say it with your chest.
📍 One bed? No, one office, one gun, one confession too many chapters late.
📍 Muted love. Muted pain. Unmuted trauma.
📍 Scars traced like love letters. Glances held like gun triggers.
📍 Enemies to… something dangerously close to lovers.
📍 This isn’t a romance, it’s a Greek tragedy in Armani...
📌Some standout moments:
-That kiss. 🫢 (You know the one. I gasped so loud I startled my cat.)
-The tension in the backroom? Thick enough to cut with Domeki’s gun.
-The art? Sexy. Moody. Criminally hot.
-Their trauma? Jumped out and slapped me.
(and what destroyed me):
– Domeki cutting his finger because he couldn’t protect Yashiro??
EXCUSE ME, IS THIS A GANGSTER DRAMA OR A SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY??
The man didn’t just carry guilt—he wore it like a damn uniform.
That moment had me in SHAMBLES.
Tension?
Baby, it was THICKER than Domeki’s silences.
– Yashiro looking like a haunted painting every time he felt something real.
His face?
Vacant but in agony.
His eyes?
Screaming “I want to be loved but I’ll kill you if you try.”
Classic Yashiro.
– Domeki's confession.
OH. MY. GOD.
I almost paused and stared into the abyss when he said it.
And what did Yashiro do?
Emotionally combusted and yeeted himself out of that situation like a man being chased by affection.
– The absolute SCREAM I let out when Domeki LEFT.
LEFT.
Resigned.
Walked out.
I felt like I was being dumped in a parking lot with no closure.
Yoneda, please, my heart can’t take this mafia soap opera masterpiece.
💬In Short:-
-Domeki bleeds.
-Yashiro breaks.
-I sob.
The storytelling?? Impeccable.
The pacing?? Painfully delicious.
The tension?? You could slice it with the very knife Domeki used on his finger.
📍END NOTE:
If yearning was a sport, these two would have Olympic gold.
If trauma was currency, Yashiro would be the Federal Reserve.
And if Domeki doesn’t get a hug soon, I swear I’ll climb into this manga and do it myself. I swear, these two need therapy, handcuffs (emotionally and maybe literally), and a private island to sort this very intense… situationship.
That ending!? The silence, the look, the feeling that something's about to snap or bloom—I was holding my breath through those final panels. After everything they’ve held back, everything they’ve endured… we get that? A whisper of maybe, of more, of finally?
I'm screaming. I'm spiraling. I’m jumping to Volume 7 like my life depends on it. . . 🏃🏻♀️💨 . . .
Because if this is how Volume 6 ends, I’m not emotionally prepared for what’s next—
…but I need it. Now. 🥀

Warning: This review contains spoilers
I feel so conflicted about this volume. I should be happy about the way things played out (especially in regards to Hirata) but that ending left me feeling so hollow. Before I get all emotional about that let me touch on the rest of what happened.
Its been a few months since I read volume 5 and, while I had a general understanding of what was taking place, I still had trouble remembering the roll different factions, groups, and minor characters played in trying to either help Yashiro or frame him for the drug trafficking and murder of Nakamoto. What stood out to me was how lackadaisical Yashiro was about the whole situation; these people wanted him dead and he just didn't seem to care. Seeing that, I shouldn’t have been so shocked when he finally got Hirata alone and allowed himself to nearly be killed in order to get a confession out of him.
After the confession was made (and heard by all appropriate parties) he could have defended himself but instead he willingly allowed Hirata to strangle him. I was so upset… like, you were finally going to be cleared, Misumi was going to be the next chairman, and you’ve experienced love for the first time in your life! Why are you so okay with having your life taken away from you? Thank God, Doumeki showed up in time to save him.
So Hirata finally got what was coming to him and all is well in the world of Yakuza gang life… except it isn’t. And that’s because Yashiro is trying, yet again, to cut Doumeki out of his life, this time with an obvious lie about him hitting his head and not remembering who he is. The look that Nanahara and Sugimoto gave each other when he said that? That was me. So the story ends with Doumeki once again separated from the love of his life and Yashiro acting like he doesn’t care. Hell, maybe he doesn't, I don't know anymore.
This volume completes this annoying takeover arc so whatever happens going forward will be the beginning of something new. We didn’t hear anything about Ryuuzaki nor do we know what Yashiro is up to now that he’s been (temporarily?) banished from the group. This was a solid 4 stars.

I read this for the first time back in February, and after watching the movie "Clouds Gather" i felt like re-reading the whole manga, which was worth it for it helped me understand better the ongoing volume 7.
I've been following this story almost since the beginning and i can say it's aged well. While I think the first volume is weak because of the way the main characters meet, and the superficiality in which some topics are touched at first glance; The progression of the story makes up for it with the addition of power battles between the yakuza groups, and the developing of more depth to Yashiro, Doumeki and the most important secondary characters.
Yoneda Kou's art is simple yet portrays the character's emotions using subtle shading and good panel composition. Also she's really good at drawing men in suits uwu.
This volume is the end of the first arc, according to Yoneda, Saezuru will have at least 3 more volumes which means it might end in 2-3 years?. Who knows, it'll be interesting to see where will the story go nevertheless. I hope to be able to see its ending.

As my friend said- this woman has given me some of the most beautiful, at the same time- some of the saddest moments I've experienced while reading.

Oh my three sizes too small heart can't take it!! I just want Domeki and Yashiro to be together forever! Why is that so much to ask for?! This volume took a little but for me to get into since the main focus was on the ever evolving gang war, but it finally started to make sense and I enjoyed the resolution. I cannot believe we are so close to the end. I nah shed a real tear when it's all over.

I'm not happy with this ending but I know that - or I wish that - it is for a better good.
Maybe this time jump of 4 years and their separation will make their relationship be more strong and will make Yushiro give all of himself for this new relation with Doumeki. Maybe Yoshiro scars will be healed.
I want to see what will happen however right now I'm heartbroken with the separation.

This book was PAIN. So much freaking angst and hurting and UGH. I need volume 7 immediately and I figure I could probably get it online, but I want the physical!! Hand it over already June!!! I love Doumeki so fucking much. Although he did do a few things that are a lil sus, overall I love him. Also poor Yashiro. He doesn't know what to do and he has so much fucking trauma he doesn't know how to deal with. The man needs therapy. I just want a happy ending after all this torture.
Side note: God, I hate June. They take forever to publish and restock and yet they still have so many typos. Do better.

April 2022. Volume 6 of a BL manga about Yakuza members’ infighting and political upheaval, and dysfunctional personal lives.
I am behind on posting, I bought the rest of these on the weekend! Still love this series, and still broad general warning that it’s not for everyone.
Now living with the tragic fact that the most recent Japanese volume came out over a year ago and we don’t have an English release date 😭

Tengo el corazón destrozado.
Yaneda es una reina y ha resuelto muy bien toda la trama sobre la Yakuza. Pero el drama ha sido brutal.
A ver cómo sigue, en Japón ahora estamos con un nuevo arco que a ver cuánto dura. Mi corazón desea Happy ending entre Yashiro y Dômeki, porque después de tanto dolor y mierda, pues qué menos.

ᴛᴡɪᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ ʙɪʀᴅꜱ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ꜰʟʏ è difficile da leggere. Difficile da spiegare. E ancor più difficile da digerire. Intenso e straziante.
Eppure sono qui a consigliarvelo con tutto il cuore.
Questa serie ha un peso enorme su di me. La leggo ed ho il costante magone in gola. Ci penso e non riesce ad uscirmi dalla testa.
La storia è forte e non adatta a chi vuole qualcosa di leggero. Nella trama troviamo yakuza, lotte per il potere, abusi, violenza fisica e verbale.
Ma non è solo questo. La vera battaglia è non lasciarsi sopraffare dall'impatto emotivo dei due protagonisti.
Yashiro è uno dei boss della yakuza e si nasconde dietro una facciata da insensibile strafottente quando in realtá dentro si sta letteralmente logorando. Considera la sua esistenza sbagliata, non meritevole di riguardi o di amore, perversa, oscura e solitaria.
Finchè al suo fianco non arriva la nuova guardia del corpo Domeki. Domeki è la prima persona che dá valore alla vita di Yashiro. Lo rispetta. Ha visto in lui forza e gentilezza. Ed è stato l'unico ad elevare la sua esistenza non per un semplice obbligo morale dettato da quel mondo, ma perchè è davvero così che lo considera. Lo ritiene bello fuori e dentro. Non lo abbandonerebbe mai e si è innamorato di lui totalmente.
Ma per Yashiro amare è doloroso. I traumi del passato lo hanno reso quello che è oggi. Ha vissuto solo in un mondo di violenza e non conosce altro. Ha una visione completamente distorta del sesso. Innamorarsi, per lui, è come rinnegare se stesso. Mentre Domeki è quella parte di purezza che non ha mai assaporato.
Yashiro e Domeki sono due personaggi estremamente complessi...psicologicamente difficili da comprendere, a volte. E non vi nego che, anche alla 10° rilettura di quest'opera, ci sará sempre qualcosa che non capirò fino in fondo. Un'espressione, un gesto, una frase.
Twittering Birds Never Fly è soprattutto una storia di sofferenza, malinconia e rimpianti.
Metaforicamente, Yashiro e Domeki sono come due uccelli intrappolati in una gabbia, che cinguettano ma non sono in grado di volare. Ali ferite e spezzate che meritano guarigione e libertà. Non facile, quando le sbarre del mondo e della mente sono spesse e dure da superare.
So che se vi indurrò a leggere questa serie poi un po' mi maledirete ma sarò pronta alle conseguenze perché ne varrá davvero la pena...ed io continuerò a pregare in un finale che non mi distrugga completamente
Guardatevi il film, leggetevi il manga. Basta che diate una possibilità a Yashiro e Domeki.
La Yoneda ha fatto un lavoro assolutamente magistrale sia dal punto di vista della caratterizzazione dei personaggi che per la trama inerente la yakuza e i vari tradimenti. Per non parlare poi dei disegni bellissimi ed espressivi che colpiscono. Poi tutta l'associazione della serie agli uccelli ha un qualcosa di profondo e significativo.
Twittering Birds Never Fly è il mio yaoi preferito e spero che lo diventi anche per voi.

Eppure sono qui a consigliarvelo con tutto il cuore.
Questa serie ha un peso enorme su di me. La leggo ed ho il costante magone in gola. Ci penso e non riesce ad uscirmi dalla testa.
La storia è forte e non adatta a chi vuole qualcosa di leggero. Nella trama troviamo yakuza, lotte per il potere, abusi, violenza fisica e verbale.
Ma non è solo questo. La vera battaglia è non lasciarsi sopraffare dall'impatto emotivo dei due protagonisti.
Yashiro è uno dei boss della yakuza e si nasconde dietro una facciata da insensibile strafottente quando in realtá dentro si sta letteralmente logorando. Considera la sua esistenza sbagliata, non meritevole di riguardi o di amore, perversa, oscura e solitaria.
Finchè al suo fianco non arriva la nuova guardia del corpo Domeki. Domeki è la prima persona che dá valore alla vita di Yashiro. Lo rispetta. Ha visto in lui forza e gentilezza. Ed è stato l'unico ad elevare la sua esistenza non per un semplice obbligo morale dettato da quel mondo, ma perchè è davvero così che lo considera. Lo ritiene bello fuori e dentro. Non lo abbandonerebbe mai e si è innamorato di lui totalmente.
Ma per Yashiro amare è doloroso. I traumi del passato lo hanno reso quello che è oggi. Ha vissuto solo in un mondo di violenza e non conosce altro. Ha una visione completamente distorta del sesso. Innamorarsi, per lui, è come rinnegare se stesso. Mentre Domeki è quella parte di purezza che non ha mai assaporato.
Yashiro e Domeki sono due personaggi estremamente complessi...psicologicamente difficili da comprendere, a volte. E non vi nego che, anche alla 10° rilettura di quest'opera, ci sará sempre qualcosa che non capirò fino in fondo. Un'espressione, un gesto, una frase.
Twittering Birds Never Fly è soprattutto una storia di sofferenza, malinconia e rimpianti.

Yashiro abbandona la casa sicura di Domeki per risolvere da solo tutti i casini provocati dalla sparatoria di Ryuzaki. Un casino che non ricordavo e mi ha molto confuso, vorrei aver avuto tra le mani il precedente volume per rileggere e ricollegare tutto, ma lo farò in seguito. Quindi, la prima parte con tutte le macchinazioni e i diversi personaggi coinvolti mi hanno davvero confuso, ma nella seconda parte la situazione risulta più chiara e appassionante. C'è un confronto tra Yashiro e Domeki molto bello e con il finale si vede quanto sia complesso il loro rapporto e ancora tutto da definire. Cosa che adoro tantissimo, non posso negarlo. Quei momenti mi hanno colpito tantissimo e anche lasciato per un momento a bocca aperta. Insomma Yashiro! Non mi puoi trattare quel patatino di Domeki così dai! E comunque quel finale che mi sta a significare?!? Quando esce il prossimo volume, devo sapere!!

Veamos, el punto de la historia en el que esta es bastante tenso, es el ultimo tomo y en este debe cerrar todo y debo decir que he quedado satisfecho con el final al igual que con el como se llega a él. Por otro lado, existe un epílogo que revela el hecho que este no es el final de Pájaro que trina no vuela, sino que es el cierre de una primera parte.
A mi parecer es un buen cierre, del modo que si esta historia hubiese terminado en este punto no me habría molestado. Si te interesa este manga, te lo recomiendo, pese a tener algunas cosas que me generan un poco de conflicto, me parece genial.

Just a good yakuza story, with a lot of action, relationships and good badass (with greatest minds).
I really like this manga, it was an awesome story, and I wish to see the movie, but no creo poder superar el que haya llegado a su fin.

Volume 6 brings this arc to a close. Yashiro tricks a confession out of Hirata, leading to his much deserved down fall, Misumi becomes the Chairman of their group, and Yashiro is banished as a show of good faith, since all of Hirata’s scheming still marred his reputation.
But the biggest issue at hand is Doumeki and Yashiro. I’m not surprised with how everything turned out. Yes, Doumeki could see through Yashiro’s indifference and knew he was trying to push him away, because he was scared. His whole feigning amnesia after the incident with Hirata was bullshit, and everyone knew it. However, I don’t think Doumeki truly understood how terrified Yashiro is of loving him, and Doumeki loving him back, until Nanahara points out that someone like Yashiro, who was sexually abused as a child, was forced to have tastes he was never meant to have. That is why Yashiro cried, because he figured that out while making love to Doumeki. So, in order to keep himself sane, he’s cut Doumeki off.
But, it looks like Doumeki’s stubborn streak won’t be having that, so we shall have to see what comes next for these two.

!!!!!!!!!!! Damn I love it.
I love how everything went down, Yoneda is such a smart writing and the EMOTION and the character’s faces (as well as lack of emotion at times) is fucking amazing.
Honestly the series could have ended here and had Yoshiro accept Doumeki and all that, but I’m actually really excited for what the next phase of the story is. I love that Yoshiro is still pushing away, it’s such a good slow burn because we all now that he loves Doumeki, but he doesn’t want to bring him down (Doumeki has a family) while he also doesn’t want to forgive/comfort himself. I feel like Yoshiro blames himself for his trauma and abuse, which is why he’s been so sex-addictive, he feels like he deserves it, so with Doumeki he doesn’t feel like he deserves to be treated with gentleness when it comes to sex and romance. And AHHHHHHH. Such a good dynamic. I basically said what Nanahara said in the extra but AHHHHH FEELINGSSSSSS.
I also FUCKING LOVE that Misumi didn’t kill Hirata himself. I know that leaves the door open for Hirata to potentially be alive, but I love that Misumi didn’t give Hirata the ~pleasure~ of killing him, Hirata doesn’t deserve the attention LMAO

yashiro keeps hurting doumeki over and over again and it has me wondering if doumeki doesn’t have an m streak himself with how much cruelty he’s willing to suffer for yashiro. it’s so precious on one hand, because yashiro deserves someone in his life to finally put their foot down and never badge in making him their top priority. but it’s also so toxic on the other hand, since doumeki does nothing but love him and in return he gets shit constantly thrown in his face and yashiro just keeps on pushing him away 😭😭 it’s horrible and I love it 😈
I also love that everything got turned on hirata in the end. that sly son of a ** deserved much worse than that after everything he’s done - not only was he an idiot, he was a jealous idiot and that’s twice as bad. good riddance, that one 🙌
5 ⭐️ for the fabulous angst at the end, so perfect 👌👌

¡Wuola! Este es el sexto tomo editado tanto en Japón como en España de Pajaro que trina no vuela y debo admitir que es una pena que el manga haya sido parado.
La historia nos pone tras la pista de Domeki y Yashiro, dos personas que por X o por Y han acabado trabajando en la Yakuza.
Este tomo, al contrario que los demas no tiene tantas escenas explicitas, sino que se centra más en la traición en ciernes que hay dentro de las ramas secundarias de la Yakuza y la cual puede perjudicar gravemente al traspaso de poderes en la familia. Un tomo muy impactante, lleno de tensiones y momentos criticos en la relación de nuestros protagonistas y momentos de descubrimiento para ellos mismos.
Sinceramente esta serie me esta encantando y ojalá sigan con ella.
