A review by fernthepanda
Yakuza Lover, Vol. 1 by Nozomi Mino
2.0
I received an eARC courtesy of VIZ Media via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Well, this is a lot was a lot of sexy time-which was not unexpected. But I did at times get the feeling that any attempts at constructing a narrative suffered as a result. Everything about this was fine. You do at least feel some interest towards the romance between Yuri and Oya, but it is also super abrupt. I find Yuri far more interesting when she is on her own-fending off would-be suitors with a suitcase and such. This book seems best described as a graphic novel version of 50 Shades of Grey for the new adult audience. All-in-all, this is is not my cup of cocoa and I hope that future volumes do a deeper dive into the story and some character development.
For Libraries: This is not a YA title.
