yakuza seme x civilian (bastard family heir)
ch 1-3 & 6: a wounded yakuza found redemption on a disregarded tea ceremony heir. seme is grieving. uke is deep so the story got into metaphors and thoughtful soliloquy. it's so beautiful.
angst, murder, guilt
wakagashira seme (and next heir too) x host
a host stood up against an imposing guy w/ looks that undeniably screams yakuza. that is the start of their meeting. story leans more towards the host, not much yakuza action, more about the obtaining of a gokutsuna (yakuza wife) lol.
seme is a waka in their group. uke is a host from a rivaling host club
romance, club and other yakuza business management
➤
yakuza official x young host
lived with mom's yakuza ex-bf since he had no place to go to. yakuza served as his guardian. now he's working as a host in a place where yakuza guy operates
good matching gritty artwork
loan/debtor, violence, intimidation... the regular yakuza stuff. thug guys looking the part
➤
teenage yakuza official x debt victim
chap4. just a shortie oneshot about two boys who met because of the latter's parent's debt. one is a son of a yakuza and in that short contact they fell inlove
debt, teen yakuza bocchama, minimal action
➤
waka of rival clan x first son of a small clan under the rival group of seme's clan.
yakuza story the way i like it. (that is, two rivaling groups' interaction) and both were important people from the opposing side too
breakup, cheating (sort of)
romance, management-level yakuza politics
➤
bocchama x traitor subordinate
bittersweet and oh so beautiful. i like how they ended in a more realistic note instead of the usual fairytale happy ending.
violence, turf war and dominance, mass murder, assasination, betrayal
rape
➤
high-ranking yakuza (got his own men) x lawyyer of the yakuza-owned company
a very ordinary and straight-laced lawyer eventually got twisted and fucked up entering the crime boss' world. in the middle of all the fuck-ups, there's a painful unrequited love.
realistic, dark and with the usual yakuza violence. it's beautiful. power struggles
s&m, rape, mind break, cheating
➤
ranked yakuza x civilian (ordinary(?) salaryman)
ch 6: *this is a crowd favourite. and mine too.
a personal fave as well. it's a good story about a yakuza and his normal 'salaryman' partner. then a twist. definitely great, re-read recommended.
manly couple.
romance, violence, secret identity
➤
yakuza big shot (now former) seme x former prison bitch
sawaragi IMO is one of the best yakuza seme out there. and the uke is really cute too. a real bishounen.
refer to http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/takaga_koidaro on how sawaragi was caught and imprisoned
jail time, drugs, turf wars, violence
➤
yakuza seme x victim-son of the runaway loaner
nice story actually. don't let the none too good cover art deter you. after chapter one it kept getting better. it's an adult world with all it's harshness and realities in life. a unambitious yakuza that could have been bigger if he pursues it, kumicho even thinks so.
multiple partners as per business.
stockholm syndrome, adult x minor.
yakuza grittiness, thug life, AV/porn business

I think it's アダムの献身 イヴの恍惚 (Adam no Kenshin, Eve no Koukotsu) drawn by Kousaka Tohru. It's a novel by Hinozaki Hitoyo. It was this issue of Novel Links: https://www.gentosha-comics.net/book/b520605.html

Hi again, [I just posted on another of your lists, but] I forgot to ask about the beautiful JUST illustration at the top if this list. (*sobbing with you* It could have been such a great manga!) I was just wondering where you got it from, so that I can add it to my faves. Thanks in advance.
hi tsukineko, i'm sorry for the late reply i saw your comment just now. (i got too many list seriously)
anyway, i had it saved in my album, just scroll down the picture there's a link there that points which manga has this illustration cover.

also, if you are curious, from the drawing i could say that this is a kousaka tohru (of okane ga nai) style. i think she has an artbook uploaded here.
