DESCRIPTION

Self-proclaimed otaku and shut-in Sakura Kisaragi would prefer to spend her days alone in her room, playing her favorite yakuza-themed dating simulator. But when she saves the life of an old man who turns out to be the head of the Amou-gumi crime family, she inadvertently earns a spot in the yakuza's succession plans-moved by her courage, the old man declares that whoever among his three ambitious grandsons can win her hand in marriage will be the next boss. Now kind but ailing Shusuke, brash hothead Reo, and cool and calculating Ryusei are all vying to make her their boss wife-but will she be anything more to them than a means to an end? Meanwhile, not everyone in the Amou-gumi organization is happy to have her there...

A high-stakes romcom from the author of A Springtime with Ninjas.

Three Yakuza brothers and lots of romance? Count me in!
One of the most delightful reverse harems I’ve read in a long time! ~♡

Sakura Kisaragi is just like many of us: a girl obsessed with something. In her case, it’s a yakuza-themed dating simulator. Who could blame her, right? We’re living through a wave of yakuza romanticization, so count me in! The story begins when our female protagonist saves the life of an old man who turns out to be none other than the head of the Amou-gumi crime family. Impressed by her courage and personality, he gives her an offer she can’t refuse: to choose her future husband from three handsome boys with distinct looks and personalities. Oh, and did I mention? The three are brothers competing to become the next head of the Amou-gumi.

Amou-gumi brothers

I have to say I absolutely loved the personalities of the three brothers. Shusuke, the eldest, is the kind and gentle one. His personality is calm, and at first, he doesn’t seem interested in competing for the leadership position—he just wants to get along with his brothers. But as the story progresses, he becomes a much more interesting and lovable character.

The hot-headed blonde with a classic tsundere personality is Reo-kun, a small, adorable firecracker who delivers some of the most romantic moments in the manga. I have a terrible reputation for rooting for the "wrong guy" (the female protagonist almost never ends up with the one I like the most), so it was impossible not to fall for Reo first. You’ll want to put him in a jar and keep him forever

Finally, we have the bespectacled Ryusei: intelligent, calculating, wealthy and sharp-tongued. Despite his distant personality, he’s one of the quickest to close the gap between himself and the female lead. He’s also a lot of fun.

At first, the two younger brothers, Reo and Ryusei, see our protagonist as merely a stepping stone to achieve their goals. Shusuke is always kind but not particularly ambitious.
Sakura herself is an absolute gem of a protagonist. It’s incredibly entertaining to watch her navigate various "mafia-like" situations using the knowledge she gained from her favorite game. Gradually, she wins over the hearts of all three brothers—and the Amou-gumi organization too.

For anyone considering picking it up, the manga was recently completed. Unlike many reverse harems that leave things open-ended or ambiguous to please everyone, this story delivers a solid conclusion; The author put great care into crafting a closed ending. We get to see the conclusion of Sakura’s choice and find out if our favorite brother was chosen or not (prepare your tissues).

So, choose your favorite brother and dive into the rollercoaster of emotions that is Boss Bride Days! :)
