Shojo Beat, Nov Issue
I hope people found the yakuza article informative.
I find it amusing that the tabloids always seem to have the latest information on what’s going on with the major yakuza organizations. They’ve got reports on changes in “upper management” and the ceremonies that were held, which gangs are fighting each other and why, and such.
When I was watching some late-night TV, I happened to catch an interview of an ex-wife of a yakuza oyabun. For various reasons, she’d ended up cutting off three fingers of her left hand (@_@) then ran away from the kumi.
