Description
DAIREN GO WA HABATAKANAI (THE BIRD THAT DOES NOT FLY) VOL. 08 SPECIAL EDITION
Book Summary
In this eighth volume of the series, readers witness the reunion of Yashiro and Domeki after four years of separation. What seemed like divergent destinies bring them back together on a joint mission: to locate an individual named Kido, with whom both have scores to settle. However, time has transformed Domeki, who is now a trusted member of the Sakura-ikka, far from the submissiveness he once professed toward Yashiro. This new power dynamic and Yashiro's persistent promiscuity spark a tension that neither of them seems willing to ignore.
What is it about?
The plot resumes when Yashiro, convinced that Domeki had abandoned the yakuza, discovers that his former bodyguard is still active in the mafia under the command of Tsunakawa, kumicho of the Sakura-ikka. Domeki has earned the boss's trust after rescuing his daughter from a kidnapping, which has turned him into a pillar of the group. Now, both must collaborate in the search for Kido, a common enemy. But the dynamic has changed: Domeki no longer obeys blindly, while Yashiro maintains his habit of seeking sexual satisfaction with any man, something his former subordinate no longer tolerates with the same resignation. The reunion triggers a struggle of wills and unresolved desires.
