In Part 2, Dhana takes Kath & Mish deeper into her life in Osaka as she accepts the offer of marriage from a member of the Yakuza, a.k.a the Japanese mafia.
What follows are tales of lavish parties for the Yakuza kingpin, losing her lifestyle of wealth, and discovering where imprisoned Yakuza embed their pearls.
Years later, Dhana returns to Japan, bringing her 20 year old daughter.
In so doing, Dhana is reminded of the dangerous life her younger self found so hard to leave behind.

From Dhana…’This is hands down the best book on Japan I have ever read. It's not about hostessing per se, but it gives a wide overarching view of the society, including sexual harassment, hostessing and yakuza.'
