Plot

Aoi Ichimura is a member of the Yakuza family known as the "Hanagumi" ("Flower-Gang") and has a reputation for being one of the tough up and coming Yakuza's, mostly due to the huge intimidating scar on the left side of his face (which he received in a car crash that killed his parents).

In contrast to his looks, however, he is in fact cowardly and weak, but apparently equipped with an obscene amount of luck. Things change when he gets assigned to be the apprentice of a Yakuza underboss (who just got out of jail), Yuji Sakiya. What results is a lot of violence, machismo, and of course, explicit homo-erotic situations between very muscular men that is characteristic of Shiuko Kano's works.
