i like this story a lot. i dislike some aspects- Sachie's lack of book smarts, Rakuto's expression of feeling receding in the last chapters, Akuma's ending etc, etc

but the feelings come across well, i enjoy the heroine's personality and Rakuto's emotional growth descriptions i like the flow of the plot and nothing too redundant occurred.

the mangaka didn't really pull it off. Pity, really.

Sachie's personality that she had at the start has spiraled into a 'ba-dump'ing, blushing shoujo stereotype in every other panel. The artwork in it is good at best. I'm still a little interested with what's going to happen next, but I'm not going out of my way to seek out releases.

This looks like the work of the manga-ka who made Ouran High. This looks really neat! And the storyline is awesome! For some reason, I'm always attracted to the Yakuza stories! Probably because of Gokusen. XP

Anyway, I'm totally giving this a try.

I almost gave it a 7, but it convinced me somehow. The beginning and ending of the story is not that great in my opinion, but the middle of it is pretty good. I loved Takaya, a character that was not a lot in the series, but overall the rest of the characters were interesting and an overall good story as well. I can say I enjoyed it at least.

Don't be thrown off by the first 10 chapters, because it is worth the read. The protagonist, though weak at points, comes back fighting to the end. He is a bit dense, Ill admit, but has that sweet and protective side that is so irresistable Its worth picking up.

I liked the manga and I felt like it wasn't too slow. I guess the author pulled off a clueless female lead better than other authors I've read. I knew sometimes you just want to punch it into the characters' imaginary heads that they love each other. I felt like the author grew throughout it. I hated the beginning because it was so fast, but it gets a lot smoother as it goes along, the art gets better too.

The only problem I have with this manga is that I didn't really understand Azuma's story. It ended kind of. I'm not sure really. I got the gist of what he would eventually go on to do but there was a chapter that seemed like it was supposed to be a big climax for his story that I just didn't get. I really am not sure what the author was trying to get across to me.

Sachie and Rakuto make a cute couple, except that doesn't happen any time soon. In fact, this is an extremely slow romance. However, the story was still entertaining with no irritating side characters.

Yakuza !!!
cool, imagine, u suddently turn out to be a yakuza daughter and you even havce a handsome bodyguard !!!
wow
hahaha

wow. i didn't read chapter 30-38, but it's not like I've really missed sth. ...
and jep, it IS typical Shoujo stuff.
but hey, good art and nice yakuza heroine. That speaks for it.

Sachie seems to have less and less personality as she falls for Rakuto. This seems to happen a lot in shoujo, and it's a shame that it happened here, too. I really liked the whole yakuza aspect. It seems to trade that in for fluffy shoujo moments later on.

A note about the art: it's a little unconventional at the beginning. It feels very sharp compared to other shoujo. Later, Sachie's eyes become almost perfect circles, and Rakuto gets even more angular. I don't really like or dislike the way this manga is drawn. The whole thing is just kind of 'meh.'
