Todoroki, an underboss of the underground syndicate "Tsuchigumo", and Arigaya, a detective of the 4th police division, are constantly at each others throats. But although the two are on opposite sides of the law, they're both actually madly in love with one another! Can love even flourish between a Yakuza and a Cop? Arrested Love is a hilarious romcom between two unsuspecting prisoners of love as they navigate their way through the stakeouts and sting operations of a love you would've least expected!
Funny (un)requited mutual pining
This one turns two rivals on their head by having both of them be in love with each other at fight sight! The internal dialogue each love interest has is so funny and cute and seeing how they act toward one another is a fun contrast with what the each are thinking about. The art also helps build on this with a heavy emphasis on how scary these two are, while softening up when they see each other. It ends on a cliffhanger so I'm eagerly awaiting part two when it goes up!
Quick fun, easy to read
Enemies to lovers is a trope, but these two are so far gone in love with each other it's just wholesome. Also a fun way to pick up some yakuza slang.
Lock Me Up & Throw Away The Key! I'm Hooked on Arrested Love!
Arrested Love is a cute, all-ages that is just as enjoyable as Way of the Househusband, and really, really good. If you’re a fan of the Yakuza video game series, want a good chaser after reading Way of the Househusband, need a quick read, or just want a light rom-com to fill out your digital shelves, I highly suggest picking up Arrested Love today!

So much fun
This series is just a blast for some lighthearted fun, but especially if you want a little crime antics thrown in. This comedy of misunderstandings balances being both slapstick and adorable quite well. I would really recommended it if you like the comedy series The Way of the Househusband. I cannot wait for part two!
