Being the only heir to the largest yakuza organization of the Kantou area, Shizuya Kondou chose not to join the gang and became a rookie designer of an underwear company. However, the assassination of his father forced him to take the reins. He has one condition: keeping his day job while hiding his double identity from his coworkers, including an aspiring female designer who is his love interest, as well as the only person capable of keeping his violent instincts in check.

Medium’s nature: VHS-Rip
Ripper: ARR
Status: Least concern. Decent image and no overexposure or underexposure. The tape shows a little sign of wear over use, but nothing too grave. Sound quality is good. No known English subs so far.

Being hardly able to diversify offering, here is something I have not yet introduced in this channel: a yakuza story. Tatsuo Nitta authored the manga source, serialized in Shuukan Shounen Sunday. Interestingly, Shizukanaru Don also had a TV drama adaptation, which hints at a certain success of esteem during the late 80s. The Director and Storyboard artist was Hajime Kamegaki, a figure I already presented you in my upload of “OL Kaizou Kouza”. Both titles were animation produced around the same time by the same studio, Tokyo Movie Shinsha. The Animation Director was Osamu Nabeshima. Among many feats, he was key animator on “Akira”, “Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa”, “Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R”, “Shin Cutie Honey” or the OAV series of “Urusei Yatsura”. While he hasn’t done much as a chara-designer, he also pitched it for this entry.
