♧ GLOSSARY ♧

~Author's Note~

Hello, everyone.

This section is the book's glossary–
"A list of terms in a special subject, field, or area of usage, with accompanying definitions."

As you read the story, if you come across any unfamiliar terms, you can always come back to this part and find out what they mean.

Note that the glossary will be updated often. That is, with time, I will be adding more words and their definitions. You can always come back to this part to check them out.

That said, enjoy–

◇◇◇◇◇◇ GLOSSARY ◇◇◇◇◇◇

This glossary is divided into two parts:

1. PART A : MAFIA (The Italians)

2. PART B: YAKUZA (The Japanese)

Which will be defining: TITLES, RANKS & TERMS that will often be used in this story.

Also, one important thing to note about Japanese names is that surnames (family names), come before given names– unlike in western countries where family names come after the given names. Keep that in mind as you read the story ❣️.
