Gritty and mature style  
by supmaguire

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0
This manga is ridiculously good. I have always loved the gritty characters and subject matter that Yoneda Kou comes up with, but THIS manga in particular is just gorgeous. I love how she makes the reader work to figure out what the characters are thinking, because the two leads are so expressionless on the outside but you can tell the inside is in such tumult. The way Yoneda organizes the manga and the order in which she delivers information is flawless.

Long story short: read this manga if you love in-depth and intelligent stories!

i just started reading this series as a whole (including the 2 prequels) and it left me wanting more. the characters are introduced in the prequels and this story is a great continuation to the introductions. its not the common yakuza story biggrin it is alluring because of the characters, and remains captivating by the drama and twists in events

truly a must read biggrin

This is the first manga which I rated it a 10 only after reading two chapters wink
It is so different from the other yaois...
Yoneda Kou managed to transform a cliche yakuza theme into such a special story that makes me shiver at each new chapter.
The characters are just beautiful, the art is pure and their feelings are so powerful!
I am completely in love with this manga!

without the prequels

I think that people will rate this story higher if they have read the prequels first so that they could get a good grasp of how Yashiro thinks and what he's been through before this story, it also gives a good explanation of his actions in this manga. So far so good, I like how the story is progressing...

and one last thing, that cover photo is what really drew me in second to this manga being the top yaoi manga currently rated here in mangaupdates...I think it's really sexy wink

Really hard to follow but I'm trying

I can tell it's good. Genuinely. But I'm having a really hard time following the plot for a couple of reasons:

1) speech bubbles rarely have tails on them, so it's hard to tell who's speaking.
2) there are too many characters with similar designs.
3) one character can be referred to with different names/titles depending on who's speaking. This is my recurring complaint about yakuza stories, but when you add in the other issues, it makes this one especially hard to follow.

Despite all that, it's still a very compelling story. I've just accepted that I'm going to have to read it again from the beginning once I catch up, so I can hopefully get a handle on the plot.

Yashiro my #1 Uke!

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0
Words can't express how much I love Yashiro. I am so glad that I picked up this manga when it was translated up to the fourth volume. I came across this manga before but I was put off by the uke who just slept around who's love interest is a impotent bodyguard. But boy am I glad I gave it a second try. The complexity that is Yashiro is very hard to explain and makes me think long and hard about his interactions with people and the decisions he makes. As I read on I can see how he slowly gets affected by Doumeki and how he starts to fall in love with him without he himself even realizing his feelings. Doumeki is the ultimate seme!! He is soo sweet and considerate of Yashiro and you can see how much he respects Yashiro even though everyone else insults Yashiro calling him public toilet, etc. He is so tender with Yashiro that Yashiro can't help but fall in love with him ^-^ This is totally my #1 Yaoi manga and I have also bought the 4th drama cd and 4th manga volume from Amazon.jp

Also for people comparing this to Finder's series I totally can't agree with that. While both might have Yakuza the storyline and characters in Saezuru are on a totally different level. I am also a fan of the Finder's series but it reads more like fluff and fanservice than anything else. I don't get the seriousness of Yakuza like I get from Saezuru. Also the characters in Saezuru have great character development which I totally love!

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Doumeki cutting off his pinky finger because he didn't do his job and Yashiro got shot


Well my review went on longer than I thought it would >.>; Anyways if you haven't read this yet I really recommend it! <3 Yashiro x Doumeki for life!!!! I just hope that they will be able to have a happy ending T-T as long as they are together at the end I'll be ok.

Just a sugesstion you should listen to the Drama cd while reading the manga, Yashiro sounds sooooo sexy!!! Doumeki too =D

Story is compelling, art is gorgeous, the complexity of the characters is really well developed. There's absolutely nothing that can top such a well crafted masterpiece. Everything about this manga is amazing. You can't help but fall in love with the characters.

A very strange manga but it gets you hooked. As in all yaois, everyone is basically gay (literally this time!), and although I wasn't expecting much from a yakuza manga...wow, it blew my mind. Although it's easy to call Yashiro desperate or shameless, there's something deeper and complicated in him, and I love his genteel persona. Yashiro is the center of this manga, and I think that's why I'm giving it 9/10 (-1 for his sexiness, since really it does creep me out a little but I grow to understand it). I also subtracted 1 because of the whole thing with nearly everyone having a crappy, rape-filled past.

Yashiro is a super interesting character. You sometimes wonder how far corruption can go, and how it can appear, and Yashiro is literally the embodiment of that twisted side of human nature to its peak (being a gay nympho). I love mangas that get me feeling intensely, and I always find myself mixed between admiration or pity in regards to Yashiro (which I guess is Doumeki and Kageyama). I like how the "triangle/quadrilateral" love relationships are set up as well. It's ecstatic and very original.

SO WHERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER HMPH HMPH HMPH

This manga reminds me a little of Sarai-ya Goyou/House of Five Leaves, which is a work very close to my heart. Especially Yashiro's likeness to Yaichi, and the chemistry between the two odd couples. Just watching them makes me happy, although heart wrenching at times, and I only wish the best for them. As that is the least they deserve. Yashiro deserves to be happy. It pains me. Their interaction warms my heart like a bowl of hot soup prepared by your most beloved person.

I usually give nines to even great manga because I want the mangaka to remain humble and modest, but this work is just so beautiful and heartbreaking I had to give a 10. Her artwork is something to behold and the story line leaves you more addicted that if you were a user of crystal meth.
