Minjoon travels to Japan hoping for a fresh start, only to be left heartbroken and alone. Just when things seem hopeless, he’s suddenly pulled into the world of Daiki Jo, a powerful and intimidating yakuza boss, after Daiki’s young son unexpectedly clings to him and refuses to let go. Thrown into an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, Minjoon finds himself navigating life in a crime family household, where fear, responsibility, and unexpected tenderness begin to blur together. As Daiki’s cold exterior slowly cracks, an unlikely bond forms between the three of them, reshaping what “family” means.
Yakuza in Love blends crime-world tension with emotional dependency and found-family warmth. While the setting suggests danger and power struggles, the story’s true focus lies in emotional vulnerability—especially the way Minjoon becomes the emotional bridge between father and son.
Daiki embodies the classic cold, dominant exterior hiding deep emotional isolation, while Minjoon’s softness shifts the household dynamic. The romance builds through proximity, protection, and domestic moments rather than complex political plotting.
This title works best for readers who enjoy protective romance, dramatic emotional setups, and BL stories where family bonds are just as important as romantic ones.
