I hesitated before adding the manga The Yakuza's Bias to my reading list. Yakuza comedy seems to be everywhere these days, but my curiosity got the best of me.
The series, written by Teki Yatsuda, takes a different direction. It combines the dry humor of Yakuza goes Hausmann with the glitzy world of K-Pop. The story follows Ken Kanashiro, a Yakuza lieutenant who becomes a huge fan of Jun, a member of a K-Pop band. It's funny to see a tough Yakuza boss obsessed with a K-Pop idol.
The mangaka relies on situational comedy, with Ken participating in unique activities and experiencing the fan culture. The humor will likely appeal to a broader audience, even if you're not familiar with Japanese culture or a K-Pop fan.
The art style is detailed and realistic, with exaggerated facial expressions for comedic effect. The manga is published in a larger format, and the cover has eye-catching metallic elements.
Overall, The Yakuza's Bias is a great choice for fans of comedy manga and those interested in a mix of K-Pop and Yakuza goes Hausmann. I enjoyed the first volume and look forward to being pleasantly surprised by future installments.
