Tsukasa & her brothers were thrown out of their home as they could not pay the rents anymore, since their parents are dead. Tsukasa had no choice but to seek for Ryuji, who happened to be her classmate all along since young, & offered to be his bodyguard. Ryuji, having known Tsukasa's secret (she's a girl) a long time ago, finally accepted her request. He had her brothers sent to a home (the owner of the home.... shall we call her Miki??) where it was under his protection. Miki gladly accepted, as she lives alone. Tsukasa was separately from her brothers. She was to live in Ryuji's home. Tsukasa felt that she was only one of those who sacrifices her life to protect her master (i.e Ryuji), & that Ryuji would not even bother if she really dies. She's just only one of his shields. However Ryuji isn't what Tsukasa had imagined. He's born to be in this gang, his family background & status does not allow him to be a passionate person. He only can have a stern, indifferent face, even when he saw his father's dead body. He might continue his life just like that if not for Tsukasa, who intruded into his life so suddenly. Ryuji grew fond of Tsukasa, & was 'electricuted' by her smile for a few times. He is the sort that couldn't express himself, so he has to write down his speech everytime he wanted to explain to Tsukusa that it is not his doings for the crimes taking place.
Ryuji's life was often wanted by the other gangs (so sorry I don't know what gangs they are), & Tsukasa is always the first to react (Ryuji has 2 other bodyguards [still dunno the name] who take care of his daily life & safety) followed by his 2 personal bodyguards. Oh, Tsukasa's weapon is a long whip of chains, which comes in handy when hitting off the bullets. Ryuji & Tsukasa always fight each other, which usually occur when Ryuji smoked in front of Tsukasa (snatching the cigarette away), or when Tsukasa wanted to vent her anger on someone --saw Ryuji as a good target.
Tsukasa didn't know Ryuji's feelings for her. Ryuji tried all means to keep Tsukasa by his side -- one of the ways is forcing her to take pills (ordinary pills) & charging her at high costs to increase her debts owing to Ryuji.
In Book 3, Tsukasa's two brothers were tricked to work as models, but it turned out to be an illegal. Tsukasa had gone to their rescue, dolling up as a girl. She saw 2 of her classmates there as well. There are a lot of other people being caught as well.
In Book 4 Tsukasa & her brothers helped the others escape, but she herself was caught by the bad guys. She was thrown into a container, which freezes her movements. She was naked & being exhibited as an art. Ryuji & his 2 bodyguards went to her rescue. Upon seeing Tsukasa being exhibited for sale, Ryuji was determined to buy her out. But a middle-aged man who was keen to buy Tsukasa as well challenged him. They raised the prices from 3 million until Ryuji said 200 million. The police arrived in the nick of the time & arrested those illegal. Ryuji was bailed out but accused of being involved in the selling.
Tsukasa was fuming with anger when the students of their school spoke badly of Ryuji. However Ryuji ignored them, & told Tsukasa not to explain any further. Later Ryuji was called to the office. The director of the school wanted Ryuji to give a good explanation on the news report about the illegal. The director even called the police to guard as he was afraid that Ryuji might create trouble. Ryuji, saving the trouble to explain, simply admitted. The director decided to expel Ryuji. Tsukasa, eavesdropping, burst into the room, started to explain everything. Ryuji covered her mouth, fearing Tsukasa would be expelled as well if the director knows the truth. In the meanwhile, Tsukasa's 2 brothers and her 2 classmates rushed into the room too. They wanted the director to expel all of them at one go if he wants to expel anyone. The director was touched & told them they would not be expelled as long as they wouldn't be involved in any trouble until the holidays. All agreed the term.
However it is a headache for Ryuji. After all, he's the head of Kuryugumi, and he couldn't control if his subordinates create trouble. Tsukasa, being helpful, told Ryuji to go around 'pleading' his other 8 sub-gangs to cooperate. Ryuji was reluctant at first, since going to school or not doesn't trouble him now. You see, in the past Ryuji went to school because he wanted to look at Tsukasa. Now that she's with him everyday, he won't have to go to school at all. But one of his bodyguards prompted him by saying " the holidays are coming, and I heard that the school are going for a graduation tour -- meaning Ryuji & Tsukasa will get to eat, bathe and sleep together." The thoughts made Ryuji felt very tempted. So he did went around to ask a favour from his sub gangs.
Everything went just fine but a terrible thing happened. One of the daughters of the 8 sub gangs had taken a fancy on Ryuji & decided to be his 'holy wife'. Tsukasa was furious as that girl ( fantastic body with big breasts) tried to seduce Ryuji. However Ryuji told her to mind her business and told her to get back to her brothers for a break. Tsukasa was shattered as she thought she treated Ryuji as her friend, but Ryuji did not treat her the same. Ryuji had not realised his terrible mistake until one of his bodyguard gently told him that Tsukasa would be really angry now for the way Ryuji treated her. Ryuji was troubled because he doesn't know he has hurt Tsukasa. On the other hand that big breast girl came to seduce Ryuji again.
Overall it's a very interesting & funny comic; I recommend this comic if you're searching for a new comic to read.
