This was a good start to a series, and the art was really nice. I will say this is the third book in a series, and the prequel series isn't localized in English. I found myself a little lost with the story. We follow a Yakuza member, heir to his gang, who goes into a drag bar and starts harassing guests. The owner, an androgynous person ends up punishing him and starts a spicy somewhat toxic relationship with him. I like that they use "they/them" pronouns, though their identity isn't explored much yet.
I'm looking forward to the next volume.

I accidentally thought this was strictly a Josei, but it sure wasn’t! Still, it was cute and fun, although the story flowed very weirdly with all the different couples. Like, there’s a prequel series with the first couple?
