Ichiro, an agent with the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Security Bureau, receives orders to make contact with and closely surveil Shiro, a yakuza hotshot whose bed partners include a considerable amount of influential male politicians. The mission takes an unexpected turn when they realize they've both been pursuing the same cold case: the disappearance of Rion Nakaba, Ichiro's senior and Shiro's sister. Determined to uncover the truth, the two secretly team up under the guise of lovers to try and pick up her trail.
Kei X Yaku Bound By Law continues to bowl along at an agreeably slick pace, perfectly suited to a fast-moving thriller while not forgetting to include some cute (and believable) moments for the BL fans.

Having said that, fans keen to see Ichiro x Shiro become an actual relationship instead of just for show won't be disappointed as even though it's little by little, each volume brings them a little closer together.
