Graphics Rating: 4/5
Plot Rating: 4/5

Opinion: The flavour of the month is undeniably Yakuza. This series makes the sub genre accessible to the teen crowd with this cute forbidden relationship.

The art is really great and very unique to this artist. Rather than gradients you find a lot of hard black or white shading. The art is nice and soft without being sparkly. I really like it!

The plot is very straight forward. Teen girl has massive crush on the young body guard who has been instructed to take care of her. The heroine is mostly headstrong and puts a lot of effort into becoming independent. She isn’t a “Strong Heroine” just yet but it’s really cute to watch her get there.

This is a nice and sweet story with a yakuza backdrop.

Final Rating: 4/5

Extra: From the mangaka of Can I Kiss You Everyday?
