The Yakuza’s Bias Vol. 01

The Yakuza’s Bias Vol. 01, a yakuza enforcer becomes the gang world’s biggest K-pop stan in this cult comedy manga that went from webcomic to sleeper hit in Japan!

Perfect for fans of Way of the Househusband, Phantom of the Idol, or Spy x Family.

Ken Kanashiro is one of the top lieutenants in the feared yakuza outfit the Washio Clan. He lives his life by the code of the Japanese underworld, where nothing is more important than loyalty, and ties between soldiers and their aniki are sacred bonds. Ken’s never had time for hobbies… until the boss’s only daughter Megumi drags him to a K-pop concert, and he sees the glittering, charismatic Jun for the first time.

Smitten like a new recruit on his first job, Ken plunges into fandom with the solemnity and passion only a true man who walks the way of the yakuza could muster.

Don’t miss this cult hit comedy manga, which went from online sensation to print bestseller!

Biographical Notes:

After debuting as a BL manga author with Haruka Tooki Ie in 2020, in 2021, Teki Yatsuda created the hit pop idol comedy The Yakuza’s Bias, which went from hit web manga to being published in English by Kodansha.

Title Notes:

ONLINE TO PRINT TO WORLDWIDE: This series started as a webcomic on Pixiv and came to print from Ichijinsha, the same pipeline that produced hits Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku and Life Lessons With Uramichi Oniisan.

YAKUZA COMEDY x PRETTY K-POP IDOLS: Two of the hottest things in nerd-dom at the moment are K-pop and oddball, crime/yakuza comedy, exemplified by series like Way of the Househusband, Hinamatsuri, Yakuza Lover, and Spy x Family.

WILL CAPTURE YAOI READERS: The sweet devotion of Takeru for Jun, guided by the expert teenage fan Megumi, will appeal to readers who also enjoy BL/yaoi comedies like The Titan’s Bride.

A print / digital simultaneous release.
