Ken Kanashiro is one of the top lieutenants in the feared yakuza outfit the Washio Clan. He lives his life by the code of the Japanese underworld, where nothing is more important than loyalty, and ties between soldiers and their aniki are sacred bonds. Ken's never had time for hobbies... until the boss's only daughter Megumi drags him to a K-pop concert, and he sees the glittering, charismatic Jun for the first time. Smitten like a new recruit on his first job, Ken plunges into fandom with the solemnity and passion only a true man who walks the way of the yakuza could muster.

I thought the book was okay, but to be fair, I'm not the target audience however, I could relate to obsessing over a boy band as a teenager, and I did laugh at some parts. The idea of a tough Yakuza falling for the charms of members of a K-pop band should have had me laughing more, and while I did laugh at some parts I just wish there were more funny moments. If Volume 2 becomes available on KU, I'll give it a read, but for now, I think I'll stop at Volume 1.

I did find it a wee bit creepy that a grown man was being a biased but the more I read the better it got, kinda. I love his reactions and interactions with the bosses daughter and just the people in general.
