Love is no crime!
Yakuza in Love is the second yaoi series after the Kizuna series I've read, that has a setting centred around the members of a Yakuza family. And there are a number of similarities, but also some differences between those two series. However I think it wouldn't be fair to compare Yakuza in Love, of which I so far have only read the first volume, with the Kizuna series, which I've read in it's entirety.

Aoi Ichimura has been newly accepted as a member of the Yakuza family "The Flower Gang". By accident he saves the life of the gang's boss and is therefore promoted very soon and becomes the apprentice of the underboss Yuji Sakiya. There is an instant attraction between Aoi and Yuji, they both can't quite explain, and soon Aoi finds himself falling in love with Yuji.

But some members of The Flower Gang are jealous of Aoi's quick success and Yuji strongly disagrees with the new policy of the gang's boss. So they both face an uncertain future in their Yakuza family.

I really liked the drawings in Yakuza in Love and some of them are really funny. The story overwhelmed me at first, because there are a few flashback scenes and a lot of characters and their stories are introduced. But I didn't noticed that as really negative and I remember the same "overflow" from the first volume in the Kizuna series. It was a very nice read and made me anxious for the other two books in the series.
