Yakuza Lover, Vol. 1

Today’s post is on Yakuza Lover, Vol. 1 by Nozomi Mino. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the two main characters on it locked in a passionate embrace. There is mild foul language, sex and sexuality, and some violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes bad boy romances and sexy plots. The story is told from third person close of the female lead, Yuri. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- When a feisty college girl falls for a yakuza boss, she gets swept into a steamy and dangerous love affair.

When drug dealers attack feisty college student Yuri at a party, she’s saved by Toshiomi Oya, the young boss of a yakuza syndicate. Despite her obvious attraction to him, she convinces herself that she’s not in the market for a bad-boy type. But when they meet again, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him—kicking off a steamy and dangerous love affair that threatens to consume her, body and soul.

After the attack at the party, Yuri goes to see Oya to personally thank him for saving her. When she meets him, as much as she hates to admit it, she can’t deny there’s an attraction. Then, when a sudden tragedy occurs, Yuri knows she should turn her back on Oya and his dangerous lifestyle, but will the allure prove too great?


Review- Yuri is a college aged young woman who is looking for her first serious adult relationship and Oya is a man who lives on the edge as he is the sub boss of a yakuza syndicate, and they are drawn to each other irresistibly. The plot is just that. He is a bad guy, she is headstrong, and they can’t keep their hands over each other. The art is the best part of this series, as it is very good and detailed. I also like that Yuri is beautiful and is treated as such by the  other characters. If you are looing for a in depth plot this is not the manga for you, but if you are looking for some escapism, the you should try this manga. I am interested in what is going to happen next.


I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
