finally managed to set some time to read Yakuza Moon after like a year or so? No wonder i’ve been hearing great raves from it. This is seriously a book where no woman would have to go through in life unless perhaps if you grow up in a Yakuza family -.-”
The gist of the story is that Shoko is a daughter of an influential yakuza who also happened to have legit business as a frontcover. No sense of the flashy lifestyle here, we delve into the inner pits of Shoko’s hell…from being a yanki (sorta deliquent student) to getting addicted to speed (a type of recreation drug) to the life of being a kept woman time and again. One can get pretty emotional reading this as Shoko’s writing mesmerizes one right from the first page. It’s a pretty thin book so even if you’re a slow reader you can definitely finish this within a week or 2.
