Rakuen No Ori
The stories had their potential, but lack in certain area. The first story was like torture. The 2nd story had the most potential, and I really wanted to see how the detective and yakuza will come through, but alas it was too short. The last story felt really wrong due to the HUGE age gap.
Nobara no Hanayome
Why? Why did it end like that? No official marriage, no children, no continuation? I was quite a cute story, and I enjoyed it. However, I wish that the beginning of each chapter was not a summary of her current situation. It was a bit annoying, sorry. But Kuze is a sweety and Yamada was a strong girl, though she is a bit insecure at times which could be annoying. At the same time, it is somewhat understandable too.
Hana To Ryuu
This is such a tragic story. In all honesty, it does depict well the life of a yakuza; not many good things will come but lots of despair. In a way I'm glad I was able to read it because it was well written, but at the same time I wish I didn't because it was really sad.
Kizuna
I enjoyed all of the couples, and what I found refreshing was that they both knew what they wanted and were straightforward with their feelings. Especially Ranmaru and Kai, they took a step forward and had a desire for their partners and I appreciate that so much, compared to other manga where they're so much more timid and introverted. Each person had a unique character. I do wish to see more about Kai and Masa, because I just know that their relationship will have more difficult times, and I want to see them get through those obstacles. And the intimate scenes between them, one is damn not nearly enough! So many laughter and hot scenes! A re-read!
Crossover Love
I enjoyed the story, though I felt it lacking in the story development area. It's a yakuza story in a sense, and I hoped there would be more about it, and the development between Daiki and Tatsumi should be more detailed. It had potential.

Aiso Tsukashi
Sawaragi is totally cool! His calm demeanor (probably from being a yakuza) hasn't changed. Shuuya is so loose because of his background history, so it's understandable. It was a slow work in progress in the development of their relationship, which was more realistic and well appreciated.
