Rakuda Laughs! – Manga

Yakuza bad boy Rakuda is framed for the murder of his gangs boss by an ambitious young white-collar criminal.

New father and troubled yakuza Rakuda gets a call from his colleagues tasking him to dispose of a random body. The job is fishy, but when you are a gangster sometimes you have to just do what you’re told. But in this case, who gave him the job is the problem. A young hustler named Amazaki has tasked him to take care of a corpse without any info on who the body is and how to get rid of it. Turns out the body belongs to their gang lord… Now the gang and the cops are after Rakuda. And with danger around every corner, there are now very few moments for jokes in Rakuda’s world.
