gritty yakuza story with romance

Overall: this was a darker story and I didn't review it against fluffy stuff. 6 episodes about 25 minutes each. Adapted from the manga "Anata wo Korosu Tabi " by Asai Sai which I haven't read and I reviewed the series on its own merits. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5800/the-journey-to-killing-you-2025-e01 (not available in Thailand, Japan, Korea or Taiwan)

Content Warnings: past (murders, incest, assisted suicide, blood, domestic abuse/violence, child abuse); rape (see the spoiler comment for more info), violence, blood, animal death, attempted murder, threatened/near suicide

What I Liked
- a darker premise
- acting
- styling
- caring moments
- production value

Room For Improvement
- nonsense stuff: in the past why didn't he call for help in episode 2, why did 1 character wait 7 years to make a move on the other character, miraculous healing power, not wearing something in episode 5

Spoiler for the type of ending:
it's a happily ever after for the leads
