But, he also happens to be the only son of the leader of the biggest criminal organization in the Kanto region... and when his father is murdered by a rival gang, Shizuya is forced to become the new head of his yakuza family!

But, things take an unexpected turn when Akemi, his secret office-crush, is suddenly kidnapped.
