Description

Shoko Tendo's compelling narrative unfolds the gritty realities of life within the shadows of the Yakuza, as she shares her harrowing experiences as the daughter of a gangster. This manga edition captures the tumultuous journey of survival, resilience, and self-discovery against a backdrop of crime and societal expectations. Through vivid illustrations, Tendo brings to life her tumultuous childhood and adolescence, marked by familial loyalty and the struggles of navigating a path overshadowed by her father’s notorious lifestyle.

As Tendo delves into her feelings of alienation and conflict, readers are taken on an emotional rollercoaster that reveals both the allure and the peril of the world she inhabits. Her story serves not only as a memoir but also as a powerful commentary on the pressures and limitations faced by women in a patriarchal society. This honest exploration resonates on multiple levels, offering insight into the fragility of familial ties and the strength found in forging one's own destiny.
