Mangaka to Yakuza

Plain-faced mangaka Rui Kijima has no time for love. Despite her editor's claims that romance would be a helpful experience, she would much rather spend her time drawing. That is, until "romance" literally comes knocking on her door.

Keigo Azuma is the CEO of a money-lending company, and it just so happens that Rui is the guarantor of her friend who fled, leaving behind a sixty thousand dollar debt. Unable to afford such a hefty price, she promises to pay the amount in full very soon. But Keigo is only willing to postpone if she pays right then and there—with her body.

Mangaka to Yakuza was published digitally in English as The Artist and the Beast by Renta!
