The after-crime-story dinner treat is “DNA in Love.” The idea of two young men having fathers who may be lovers is a novel idea. It is the best character drama that Yamane has written so far in this series. It is an engaging, sometimes enthralling, and even thrilling read. It’s like The Godfather film and a soap opera jammed together with the sex and violence coming out on top. Kourou No Hana “Unobtainable,” is much better.

Before he realizes it, Akihito again finds himself in Asami’s clutches and probed by his wandering hands. Asami, of course, is on to the shady detective and the young photographer. 2: Cage in the Viewfinder opens with the story, “Body Chase.” Akihito gets tied up with a suspicious-acting Detective Imamiya who wants the inside information on Asami’s activities. The third player is Fei Long, a rival Chinese criminal and hit man (of sorts) out for revenge.įinder Vol. There is 23-year-old freelance photographer, Akihito Takaba, who fends off the advances of a young crime lord named Ryuichi Asami.
