Yakuza Moon: The True Story of a Gangster's Daughter (The Manga Edition)

Based on the memoir of a woman raised in the shadow of the Japanese underworld, this single-volume manga from Kodansha USA adapts the raw, personal story of Shoko Tendo's youth. With art by Michiru Morikawa, it brings a starkly intimate lens to a life marked by violence, addiction, and the struggle for identity outside her family's yakuza ties. A powerful entry in the true-crime manga genre, it offers an unflinching, female-centered perspective rarely seen in stories about organized crime.
