The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting

Tooru Kirishima serves as the trusted right-hand man of the Sakuragi crime family, a position that conveniently allows him to unleash his brutal nature without restraint. Known throughout the underworld as the Demon of Sakuragi, he thrives on violence, and nothing appears capable of tempering his ruthless disposition. For Kirishima, life within the syndicate is defined by intimidation and force, making him one of the most feared figures in the organization. However, his world is abruptly upended when the family boss hands down an unprecedented directive: rather than enforcing territory or eliminating rivals, Kirishima is ordered to babysit the boss's young daughter. This unexpected assignment forces the hardened enforcer into entirely unfamiliar territory, challenging everything he knows about himself and his role within the criminal underworld. What follows is a striking juxtaposition of organized crime and innocent childhood, as the fearsome Demon of Sakuragi must navigate the delicate responsibilities of childcare. Balancing his deeply ingrained violent instincts with the gentle demands of looking after a little girl, Kirishima embarks on a journey that is equal parts heartwarming and terrifying. This unique narrative explores the unlikely bond between a dangerous yakuza caretaker and the child who might just be the only person capable of taming him.
