Set in a futuristic Japan where crime has elevated and apathy prevails, Tsukasa is brought up as a boy in order to protect her from the crime-ridden Japan.
When the murder of Tsukasa's parents leaves her and her brothers homeless, she finds herself turning to the same people responsible for the deaths of her parents - the yakuza and fellow classmate/Yakuzi head, Ryuji. From their very first meeting, Tsukasa finds herself in debt to Ryuji, and the only way to pay it off is to become his bodyguard. Yet, the incurring debt seems to greatly increase, regardless of how much Tsukasa works. Perhaps Ryuji has other reasons for keeping her by his side?
Tokyo Crazy Paradise is one of my all time favorite stories. TCP is by the manga-ka Yoshiki Nakamura. TCP ran from 1996-2002, being considered now an older shoujo manga. TCP is a completed story, with 111 chapters. It follows the story of Tsukasa, 
spending time with the Yakuza and becoming closer with Ryuji. Tsukasa is a wonderful fighter and proves herself to be one of the best bodyguards for Ryuji. She's got an awesome chain that does some pretty cool stuff, and she certainly knows how to protect with it. The romance is slow, but does eventually become a key factor. The only downfall of this manga, is perhaps the ending. It doesn't leave a feeling of a definite conclusion. Although everything is happy, and the all conflict is resolved, the ending seems rushed and to be lacking something. The art is very standard and simple in the beginning, but as the series continues the art becomes more detailed and rich looking. TCP has comedy, romance, and tons of action. The comedy typically takes the form of Ryuji being a pervert (trying to get into Tsukasa's bed, etc.) and in the form of Tsukasa's naiveness.
