02.1%Yashiro is the young leader of Shinseikai and the president of the Shinseikai Enterprise, but like so many powerful men, he leads a double life as a deviant and a masochist. Chikara Doumeki comes to work as a bodyguard for him and, although Yashiro had decided that he would never lay a hand on his own men, he finds there's something about Doumeki that he can't resist. Yashiro makes advances toward Doumeki, but Doumeki has mysterious reasons for denying. Yashiro, who abuses his power just to abuse himself, and Doumeki, who faithfully obeys his every command, begin the tumultuous affair of two men with songs in their hearts and no wings to fly.
volume 2:
Young and powerful Yashiro can’t stay out of trouble long enough to catch his breath. Will a brand-new bodyguard give this hot-headed pervert a taste of the calm he’s never known…or will mayhem erupt as other gangsters take note?
volume 3:
After surviving an attempt on his life, masochist mob boss Yashiro finds himself being cared for by his deeply devoted bodyguard, Doumeki. As the line between their personal and professional relationship continues to blur, other members of their syndicate scramble to assert their power. Will the feelings they potentially harbor for one another provide them a moment of repose... or will it only bring about more conflict?
volume 4:
Despite his reputation as a lecherous man-chaser, Yashiro, young leader of the Shinseikai, was determined to avoid relationships with his subordinates. However, after an attempt on his life, his relationship with his attendant and bodyguard, Doumeki, has grown into something he never could have imagined.
Meanwhile, Doumeki, awakening to his own feelings, has resolved himself to protect Yashiro, even if it puts his own life in peril.
One being protected, and one protecting...
The feelings Doumeki and Yashiro have for each other are surprising, to say the least.
It was at this point that Yashiro realizes...
volume 5:
As their dispute reaches its climax, Yashiro, Young Leader of Shinsei-kai, faces Doumeki in his room…
Yashiro who has been ignoring his true feelings towards Doumeki, and Doumeki who secretly desires –nothing more– than to protect Yashiro with all that he is.
Although both are painfully aware of each other, each has kept their feelings pent-up, and were determined not to cross the line.
But, when Doumeki is cornered and decides to confess his feelings, the line between them is suddenly washed away.
Will Yashiro choose to keep things the way they are, or will he cross the threshold, and instead gain something truly valuable that he will have to fight to protect?
volume 6:
Yashiro and Doumeki have finally crossed the line that they protected for so long.
Doumeki confronts the fact that Yashiro is irreplaceable to him, while Yashiro confronts the true nature of his feelings for Doumeki, as well as that of the contradiction that has shaped him.
Because he values him, he can’t let him go.
Because he values him, he will part with him.
With his dispute with Hirata pressing in, Yashiro leaves Doumeki and attempts to settle matters himself...
What will be the outcome of this life-or-death conflict?
What of Yashiro and Doumeki’s relationship?
New turbulence unfolds!
volume 7:
Four years have passed since Yashiro’s fateful battle with Hirata.
Having left the family, Yashiro now makes a living as an investor of an underground casino. However, despite Yashiro no longer being tied to the family, Musumi still visits him in the casino, from time to time, in hopes that Yashiro might change his mind and return to the Shinsei-kai.
Unlike Yashiro, who has removed himself from the yakuza world, Doumeki, on the other hand, has fallen deeper into it. Having been abandoned by Yashiro, Doumeki now works as a full-fledged member of the yakuza under the Sanwa-kai’s Sakura Family.
Separated and in their own respective worlds, Yashiro and Doumeki have not seen each other for four years. However, when a certain incident forces their paths to cross, will these two lovebird’s time, which appeared to have stopped, begin to move again?
