Another Gold Std in Yakuza Yaoi

I think this manga can definitely hold its own candle against Ayane Yamano's Finder series when it comes to Yakuza yaoi. The drawing of the characters might not be as pretty and the sex scenes are not as smutty but the story line is amazingly good. The psychological undertones behind the characters of Yashiro x Doumeiki are very fascinating - both souls are broken in their own way. Can the fact that both live & work in the violent world of crime syndications actually save their souls & bring them some happiness? I am enthralled as I await each installment of this story. I would definitely recommend any BL publisher to license this. It is a big winner.
Gritty and mature style

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 don't know what to say... it's so suffocating, every time I read this manga my heart beats faster and sometimes I even cry 'cause I pity Yashiro. His character is so melancholy lonely I can't help but feel sorry for him. I hope he finally finds happiness.
Ridiculous.

It's hard to describe this series. It's complicated. Suffice it to say that, if you can take the unabashed kinkiness which our main character Yashiro comes with, take-it-or-leave-it-thank-you, you'll likely be mystified with how good this story is. There is wonderful depth of emotion, playfulness, the pain, and sparse prettiness infused in every line of this BL manga. Not to mention, the scanlators did a damn good job with it. Bravo!
This is a manga that won't tell you everything about yakuza but it is hard-hitting and deep. It stuck in my mind for quite a while.... In fact, I might have fallen in love with it. O: Now, try it out for yourself!
NB: Do not miss out on the prequels--they will show the humongous amount of thought that went into this character's story.

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 it is alluring because of the characters, and remains captivating by the drama and twists in events
truly a must read

Just awesome, not your average YAOI characters. This manga characters have depth and are flawed like real life people. I just love how even though their behavior isn't the most acceptable I can't dislike them, I just love Yashiro, I want him to find happiness, he deserves it. Chikara is the cool stoic character, which I also like very much ^-^ I just kept hoping he would stop being impotent while Yashiro was doing you know what to him o:
I want more chapter, need...to...read...more...*dies*
I recommend it, read it and the prequels too :3

Brilliant! Just Brilliant! Even though the prequels were just oneshots, it just conveyed so soo much of emotions. And now that we're in the present of Yashiro's life in this story with an entire volume and hopefully more ofcourse! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Its certaintly dramatic and dark with the lonesome protogonists but at some point I find it hilarious, Chikara stoic-ness and his sudden unintentional humour!

What you first fall in love with are the characters. They are heart-wrenching, flawed, beautiful. You can tell Yoneda Kou has put thought in creating those people.
The art is in tune with the quiet, emotive nuances of the characters and the story itself. It's sparer in style, compared to other BL manga, but, maybe because of that, more powerful.
I think it's one of those stories that manage to transcend their genre, and express the reality of human nature.

This is the first manga which I rated it a 10 only after reading two chapters
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!

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
