It's been a while, here I am again with another review for those who are kind enough to have a look
Today, I present you Akira Honma "Rabbit Man, Tiger Man"
I have been lucky to have a chance to read these book before they came out. Even so, I have absolutely no regret buying these again right when they hit the store. The drawing is clear and smooth, the characters are not overly girly and "gigolo" -like handsome but still adorable. And the story is one of the those you will always remember
The theme is simple enough, a yakuza fell in love with the one saved him from a dire situation, the one who is the complete opposite of the underworld dweller. If you are a fan of yakuza theme, this is one of the best. there are seriously evil scheme, power struggling, and the yakuza are actually act like yakuza, not just lazy around and all of sudden become so cool. There is not much explicit scenes or mushy flirting but you can feel the love growing
These book has become one of my most precious treasures. I hope the next volume won't take too long to come out
PS: I take this chance while I'm diligent enough for a post to fulfill my allegiance in one of my favourite communities (hence, the notification at the top).
