Twittering Birds Never Fly

さえずる鳥は羽ばたかない

Yashiro is the young head of the Shinseikai yakuza syndicate, a self-destructive masochist who lives a double life behind his role as a crime boss. When Chikara Doumeki, a stoic former soldier, is hired as his bodyguard, Yashiro fixes on him despite a private rule never to touch his own men. Doumeki keeps his distance for reasons of his own, and the two circle each other inside a violent world that leaves little room for what grows between them.
