Comment on Thermae Romae Mangaka “Got $10,000 of $62,000,000″ by Pyrus:

Yakuza: “Where’s my money!?” Parent: “Th-this is all I have right now!” Yakuza: “This ain’t enough!!!” Parent: “I-I have nothing left to give you!” Yakuza: “Then pay me with your daughter’s body!!” Parent: “Wh-wha~…!?” Yakuza: “AKB48 will be holding auditions. Your daughter better be there, or I’ll be back!!! You don’t want me to come back!”

  I thought the Yakuza were under police influence — paying them “protection” money to keep from having their hostess bars & other shady enterprises shut down.

  “My idols can’t be this criminal” -or- “My idols can’t be this illegal” -or- “My idols can’t be this gangster” –this might be a more fun way to put it.
