Description
Starting with a Kiss, Vol. 1 by Youka Nitta is a captivating story about Toru and Mutsumi, two young men caught in the middle of a yakuza feud.
Toru, the fiery and impetuous son of a yakuza boss, is sent into exile on a deserted island for his own protection during the gang conflict. Though sidelined when he'd much rather be in the fight, Toru's frustration is heightened by the presence of Mutsumi, the serious and studious son of the gang's second in command.
Mutsumi is Toru's opposite in every conceivable way, and the tension between them slowly begins to build.
As they navigate their time in exile together, sparks start to fly, creating an irresistible dynamic that draws readers into their world.
