Spin off from MODS. Great series. Haru, whom we meet in Mods, is in shock when he's asked to look after the family member who is damn near a doppelganger of his dead love.
From the description : Masato Karashima is a "transporter", a man paid to smuggle anything from guns to drugs to people. When he's hired by yakuza gang member Masaki Hozumi, he finds himself attracted to the older man, and what starts out as a business transaction quickly spirals into a cat-and-mouse game of lust and deception.

As a child, Kasama Ryuuji watched his parents killed before his eyes by a rival yazuka gang. As a teenager, he finds the woman who raised him after the death of his parents, raped and murdered by the same gang. With the loss of his loved ones, Ryuuji wants nothing more to do with the yazuka. When everything seems lost, the kind and caring Araki, who claims to be the brother of his adoptive mother, appears. Ryuuji develops a special bond with Araki, but there's a catch. ...
A long story of interconnected couples who have ties with yakuza (like are yakuza...have parents who are yakuza...etc) Tied to Hana to Ryuu by one very interesting link.
Kizuna related. First three quarters are of Yuki's courtship, marriage and family life, while the last chapter is of the boys looking after their nephew for five days when Yuki visits some friends and while on nephew duty, one gets a pretty bad case of baby blues. It's hilarious and touching. The Manma is a great Manma!
JB and Roy, sniper duo from Kizuna.
God dang--I can't even. ...God--I can't even think straight. This is amazing. So very, very dark and twisted, but so beautiful. I'm just stunned at how awesome this is. Everything came together beautifully and I gotta admit that I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck. Stupendous work.
From the description : Three men bearing tattoos are Peony Katagi, Buttercup Mutou, and Mad Shark Nogami. They are all involved with mystery man Kubota. Brutal, sublime and harsh.
I loved the whole idea of a limiter. Interesting reading.
