’Yakuza’ is the first of many books in the ’Guns & Roses’ series, and the beginning of its Tawano arc.

Co-written by Usagi Kita and Qaida Harte, under the collective name Lilia Blanc, it’s written in their unique fashion. Chapter flip perspectives between innocent college kid Hiroshi Okamoto and hardened yakuza leader Kazuo Hasakeno.

Packed with action, it tails the two men as they navigate their difficult relationship, along with the troubles that come with gang life. Between Hiroshi’s reluctance and Kazuo’s dark past, they have more than enough to deal with- so it only makes sense that there’s a lethal man rising in the city to threaten everything that already rides on a thin line.

The ’Guns & Roses’ series follows multiple couples in an emotional journey that plays with the healthier side of bondage- no 50 Shades emotional abuse in this tale, simply men doing their best to survive what they’re not necessarily built to handle.
