This review is from: Yakuza In Love Volume 3 (Yaoi) (Deux) (Paperback)

All hell breaks loose as the simmering plot from the first two volumes boils over. We discover the fate of several main characters and potential couples, and then we are treated to a series of humorous shorts to help our heart rates return to normal.

This volume also only gets three stars because of extreme violence, sympathetic character death, and an unsympathetic character getting a happily ever after (I don't think this is spoilery because it's a Yakuza series - you have to know that people are going to die - plus, we might not all see the same characters as sympathetic and unsympathetic). Also, I lost the plot for a while when the action started, but I did find it again pretty quickly.

Overall, this was a good end to a good series, but it's definitely not for fans of cute and cuddly.

Edited to Add: After reading the comments, I thought it would be helpful to flesh out the "fleshy" parts. Ukes don't look like girls and this last volume isn't a true anthology. The single stories that make up the second half of the book all still involve the characters of the series, not new characters. The adult scenes are fairly explicit, without showing "bits", but the violence factor also adds to the explicitness. Not all of the adult scenes are nice or consentual.
