I intentionally avoided reading this because I really didn't care for Rogi in Yondaime Ooyamato Tatsuyuki, I hated that he thought it was no big deal to do what he did to Tatsuyuki and how in general villainous he was.
Now having read this so far I wish I had stayed away, Objectively this is a great story, but I still don't like Rogi, I think I dislike him even more because he is Fucking over Tatsuyuki's Mom in this story, and I'm really starting to hate Akitora too. Asami is a Boss Bitch, but she is frustrating me too. THAT'S YOUR MAN GIRL!!! Plus knowing she is gonna get killed off ( I Assume), it makes her like an afterthought in her Husband's life " Thanks for the 4th generation heir, now Fuck Off so I I can be with my Lover ". I know I'm gonna get some shit for this, but that's just how I feel.
I will EVENTUALLY read the remainder but I should have done like I originally intended and waiting until it's complete. So I can fulfill my curiosity
I also did not realize going into this that it would be a Prequel and I kinda hate prequels, they just get on my nerves.
.

You do realize they are yakuza and yakuza often have multiple mistresses right? lol That and if Rogi and Tora really did get together after Asami died then why would Rogi go out of his way in the other series to catch Tora's attention? I'm not saying Rogi isn't a piece of shit but stories about yakuza are never supposed to be all fluff and cute shit. Yakuza are c-r-i-m-i-n-a-l-s. And we all went into this one knowing that Rogi and Tora were going to be the main focus. We also knew that Tora's wife was going to meet an unfortunate end. And it's not like she really lived a pristine life either. //sighs
You would think after having so many darker themed manga like Saezuru Tori and Ike Reibun's series Kobi no Kyoujin that this fandom would be a lil' more enlightened.

I get how some people will hate Rogi, but I am learning so much more about Rogi and how he's basically one obsessed man while Akitora is just drawn to his wildness (and of course beauty lol). Asami DESERVES BETTER SO LOOK AT HER ONLY WHEN YOU'RE TOGETHER AKITORA :<
But when it comes to steaming wild love, you don't really have the brain to control it.
And I agree, it's a story of bad people who do bad things. You don't expect them to be all nice and paying attention to only one person. Oyabun often end up with multiple mistresses and I suggest reading Raise wa Tanin ga ii on another amazing yakuza story. It's not BL, but it's probably one of my most favorite straight, seinin and yakuza themed story. The main hero is obsessed/insane/mad with the heroine who is 0% interested in him, he still fcks a hundred other ladies outside, but she never minded that and fully understands the life of a yakuza.
It's my perfect cup of tea, I'm twisted like that as well. lol

If you think about it.... Kaoru is Asking/ Imploring Hara to LOVE him more than fate, more than his Destiny by keeping the string attached. It's like a constant affirmation to Kaoru of Hara's feelings for him, he's begging to be loved even though he doesn't think he deserves it.
It's heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Maybe it's not fair to Hara because he'll have fate constantly shoving this chick in his face over and over, but I kinda understand where Kaoru is coming from.

This is the ONLY manga I have ever read that just rips me to shreds Emotionally, it's so intense and heartbreaking to read. Some pages are so gruesome I physically shudder while reading. It's hard to say I love it because of the deep subject matter but I do though, it's more like I can't stop reading it hoping there will be a happy ending some day.
As far as Who Yukio will choose to be with (if he even wants something like that after what he's been through) I honestly Don't care! That is the least of my concerns for him. All I want is for Yukio to be able to live in peace with his brother, and that piece of shit Head of the Seidoukai (Matsatsugu-san's father) and the Perverted Human garbage Wang get their intestines ripped out through their assholes and shoved down their throats.

Couldn't have said it better my self. But shouldn't reij be protected too? I mean he is the only family yokio had left. I wonder if he would change for them and go kill wanda or what ever his name is. Don't they say blood is thicker then water? He still has the offspring from his beloved brother alive and it's him wanda wants....

I've waited YEARS for this to be Completely translated and NOW...... EVERYONE is trying to Rip me off ????!!!
I just want to buy this Manga in E- book, so I can have it for the rest of my life !!!!!
I've already spent $$ on every chapter from NetComics, now Amazon wants me to buy it per chapter for $2.99??? Why??? I just want the whole volume . Per chapter makes me CRY
This manhwa made me uncomfortable in so many many ways, right up to the end I was uncomfortable reading it. But I just needed to make it to the end no matter what, I really don't have any other feelings besides that .
