The Yakuza's Bias 1 by Teki Yatsuda
5.0
YA'LL.....
THIS WAS SO GOOD...
I was nervous about reading this one because I'm not familiar with the world of idol's and K-pop groups. Fortunately, I feel like Yatsuda did a great job creating a storyline that worked for those who are familiar and those who aren't. The manga follows a Yakuza enforcer who is introduced to the world of K-Pop by the daughter of the family. While reluctant at first, he becomes enthralled with the group specifically the member Jun. He descends into the community learning so much while also making connections.
I was not expecting to be so entertained by this one. It was funny, but charming. Ken really has a special connection to Jun and he appreciates that while their choices of profession are different, they share a lot of the same morals and values. I also loved that Yatsuda gave readers inside perspectives to the K-pop group. While Ken is working through his bias for Jun, Jun is interested in Ken and I'm excited to see where that connection will go in the future.
Overall, this was so fun! I was surprised by how much time I spent not only enjoying the artwork, but genuinely laughing out loud with the characters. This is one you don't want to miss.
