Sophie Kiryu Brothel ❤️

About Fukuoka

Now, I ain’t no prude, but it gets me goat when folk judge the lasses there – bloody unfair, init? Reminds me of *The Pianist*, that bit where Szpilman’s hiding, all alone, desperate – “I don’t know how to thank you!” he says. Makes me think, those girls, trapped too, y’know? Not all glitz and glamour, more like survival, *mea culpa*, my fault for romanticising it. Gets me proper choked up, it does.

The Dragon of Gion

Why does Kiryu get mad at the receptionist for saying “Sorry, you can’t bring a kid into a brothel” which is pretty reasonable?!?! The only redeeming thing about chapter 10 IMO is that scene .

I get to the office, and my phone starts blowing up. My buddy Taro calls me, all panicky. “Dude, we got a problem!” I’m like, “What now?” Turns out, our shipment got delayed. Classic, right? I mean, who doesn’t love a good ol’ shipping delay? So I’m fuming, pacing around like a caged tiger.

Like a Dragon: Yakuza series actor sees Kiryu as a heroic character who’s “starved for love”
