The artwork is incredible, and I’ve always loved the beastman theme, especially when they actually bother to include animal traits or attitudes instead of just the aesthetics. The real issue is the yakuza part. The story expects us to agree that everything should be solved peacefully after witnessing the amount of messed up stuff they do… which is certainly a take. I’d get it if the point were that violence only makes things worse, but the execution is so weak it feels like no one is taking the topic seriously. At this point, the ML kind of comes off as the bad guy, especially when the MC seems more upset about his actions than about the people who literally tried to rape him, beat the hell out of his father, and destroy the family business. That said, if you don’t think too hard about it, it’s still a pretty sweet and enjoyable story overall.
Oh! and I really wish authors would stop using the whole “I’m straight” thing when it adds absolutely nothing to the story.
