While Tight-rope is much shorter than Honto Yajuu, both have a lot of overlapping aspects. There's the obvious yakuza aspect, and both titles do get into exploring that world a bit more than a lot of other titles with yakuza characters, and we also get some fighting in both. While the type of relationship is different, both couples deal with their position in regards to the other person coming up as an issue at some point. In Honto Yajuu, we have a police officer and yakuza, with the obvious social conflict here, while in Tight-rope, it's about the two boys positions within the gang. There's some majorly serious moments, but both maintain a more comedic and lighter feel outside of those parts. Honto Yajuu is a bit more sexually explicit than Tight-rope and they're about the same in terms of violent content.
