Me encant¨®.
el arte es muy bonito, y esta historia bastante entretenida.
Esta historia esta conectada a y en ella Yuki es un Host en el club de uno de los mellizos, un d¨ªa ve como tres hombres estan golpeando a uno de sus compa?eros y ¨¦l se interpone para defenderlo, al final aparece Sasaki-sama qui¨¦n es el futuro heredero de un grupo Yakuza y se disculpa en nombre de sus futuros ex-empleados. Posteriormente Sasaki comienza a frecuentar el club donde trabaja Yuki y es asi como forjan lazos de cliente y host? de amigos? de algo m¨¢s?...
Una vez m¨¢s una historia de esta autora que me gust¨® de principio a fin. Nuevamente las cosas se dan mas o menos de a poco, el argumento general igual es silly pero lindo y romantico, y el arte hace que la historia sea mucho m¨¢s entretenida. Tambien contiene escenas sexuales muy explicitas. ?I'm just saying!

Mouthy host who is not afraid to stand up to a yakuza boss. I must say the kimono stunt was a nice touch. Yikes.

Hehehe! The "yakuza wife" scene is the best. Fairly usual story, but the art is well done and that scene alone is worth 3 stars. XD

Read my entire review:
Yuki is a host at a club. While he¡¯s out with a client a host from another club physically assaults Kenji, a friend and co-worker. He steps in to help and is punched in the face. Then Sakaki, the owner of the other club shows up and wants to know what¡¯s going on. The naturally bold and straightforward Yuki confronts Sakaki and tells him he can come to his place of work any time to discuss it. After that Sakaki goes to the club; basically atones for what his hosts did and buys Yuki and Kenji each a bottle of expensive champagne. Sakaki and Yuki become taken with each other and Sakaki begins to make regular visits.
Yuki is attractive, strong willed and out spoken, and even though he ends up as the uke, he doesn¡¯t come across as one. He¡¯s more of a seme, or at least an uke that acts like a seme. He¡¯s well built and has a good head on his shoulders, and he doesn¡¯t whine and snivel or act stupid like many ukes. And that¡¯s probably why I like him so much. Sakaki¡¯s an intimidating and cool customer, but extremely kind and generous with Yuki.
Heart Strings is one of Ms. Norikazu¡¯s best Yakuza stories¡ªthe characters are sexy, beautiful and have interesting personalities. And the sex scenes are some of her best; very addictive. I wish she¡¯d expand this manga. *sad face* If you read HS I think you¡¯ll enjoy it. Five stars!

The art is so nice, and the uke(s) so beautiful I should rate it, for the art alone, 5 stars.
But both ukes, Yuki and the one in the extra, were "chick with dicks". I know this type of uke happens, in like, 90% of yaoi, buy Yuki's reason for breaking up with Sakaki-san was so lame. Yuki is a host and Sakaki-san a yakuza. They start dating. Then one another yakuza member comes to Yuki and asks him/kind of threaten him to break up with Sakaki, with the lame excuse of "my sister should marry him, you are an embarrasment for someone like Sakaki" sort of thing. So Yuki breaks up with him, and nice Sakaki slaps him in the face.
That is where I almost drop it. What a bastard.
I did not quit because this is Norikazy Akira. I love her artwork.
And ok, I also like cross-dressing and Yuki dresses in kimono. Kimono for woman, and he looks divine.
But with that slap it went downhill. I like my semes to be caring, cold, possessive maybe, but not violent. Bye.

This is a Yakuza leader and a Host's Love Story. It was awkward maybe but it was fun to read anyway.

Host club people and yakuza. It was funny at times, and sweet at times, and steamy most times haha. This is a sequel to Twins Labyrinth featuring the host club owners and their partners.

3.5 nice art, decent story. . . had a few quibbles. But both MC well drawn and lovely sex scenes, plus there was an omake story at the end of another character from the main story and his boyfriend.
