Hana to Ryuu

13.08.1998
Hana to Ryuu is a yaoi manga series created by Kazuma Kodaka in 1993. Designed as a doujinshi, Hana to Ryu follows Ryuji Kazama, the son of a dead yakuza boss, as he struggles to maintain a peaceful existence while dealing with harmful forces all around him. Hana to Ryu takes place in the universe of another Kodaka series Kizuna, taking place 10-15 years before Kizuna.
The Kazama syndicate had been one of the most powerful and respected yakuza syndicates in Japan. But one day, the leader of the syndicate is brutally murdered and the syndicate is brought down as members of the organization are forced to scatter. Among these are Kazama's young children, including his oldest son Ryuji. They take refuge with their aunt and in time forget the tragedy that befell their family. Years later, when Ryuji has grown into a teenager, he comes home to find his aunt being gang-raped by apparently random thugs. The violence then escalates out of control and leaves everyone in the room dead, except for Ryuji who is covered in blood. Though it's unclear what exactly transpired in the room, Ryuji's arrested for all the murders, tried, and sentenced to life in prison. Ryuji spends only four years in prison, but it's not an easy time for him. Brutally beaten and gang-raped constantly, he becomes bitter at the world and wishes for death. But it's in prison that he meets former allies of his father's organization and he truly learns what he is. He even gains the strength to stand up to his tormentors, although his actions will later come back to haunt him. Upon his release Ryuji meets up with an older man named Hitoshi Araki, who comes to his aid when a thug tries to mug him. But Hitoshi isn't some stranger; he too was part of the Kazama syndicate—more so, one of Ryuji's father's most trusted allies and Ryuji's protector when Ryuji was younger. It's through Hitoshi that Ryuji begins to get a sense of his humility and innocence back and the two men form a deep, unbreakable bond that gradually grows to love. Unfortunately for these two, being in with the yakuza won't give them an easy life of peace. And though Ryuji had already suffered so much in his young life, it's only inevitable that it gets worse for him.

High-resolution mode provides beautifully realistic titles. This mahjong game is authentic in that it transcends the unnatural strengths that other software has always depended on, such as simple memory, probability calculation, and calculation of variables. The development of new algorithms provides a better sense of gameplay, and corresponds with tile flow ambiguities. Various options are available, from competitive mahjong to local rules. Novice and pro alike are sure to love this game.

Poy Poy is a multiplayer party game at heart. Grab a multi-tap and four friends and take part in an ultimate battle of skill and wit. The idea is to be the last man standing in this arena based combat game. But don't worry if you can't find a multi-tap or four friends. There's plenty of AI characters to battle in various tournament modes and you can also play a 2 player deathmatch (with or without computer opponents). If it sounds fun now, wait 'till you play it... Set in seven different 3D environments strewn with throwable objects, the game challenges you to a match against three other opponents armed with logs, rocks, ice blocks, and atomic bombs. If you run out of stuff to throw, you can toss your opponents around too. Each hit drops your life meter, so be careful who you pick a fight with.

The main object of this history-based simulation board game is to control as many battle positions as possible. Procurement of all necessary resources is ultimately determined by a roll of the dice. Use the resources allotted to you to build roads and castles, or to strengthen your military. Instead of a good war strategy, your management of resources is what actually determines whether you win or lose.
