There's not much to this one, basically just do what it says on the tin. The simplest way to get this done is just keep clearing every substory that shows up as you progress through the main storyline.
One tip I can offer, however, is this - Some substories halt and ask you to check back later, or for whatever reason their next step simply doesn't show up on the map immediately. When this happens, you can almost always just duck into the nearest shop or restaurant, and when you leave the next step will be on the map again. If this doesn't work, taking a taxi or going through a loading screen such as entering Survive Bar should be enough to progress it. This is especially helpful on the persimmon substory next to Survive Bar, for instance, as there's a shop just a few steps south of the park so you can quickly knock it out.
Another tip, all of the romance substories are fairly short, so if you've met their requirements (10 passion and/or a rank 5 bond where needed, for instance, plus some gifts like roses or bonsais), you can knock several out back to back if you're close to the achievement.

For the persimmon one, I kept having to go upstairs at Survive to get the marker show up. Simply setting foot in Survive didn't work.

I also feel it's important to note that there's no achievement for completing all 52 of them, but if you go to the trouble of doing so, there's a significant, permanent defensive buff for Kasuga which will certainly help for Millennium Tower associated achievements. Also, the final cutscene for completing them all is great.

There are a total of 52 substories (side-quests) in the game to complete. Most are fairly simple and quick (especially with a guide), and more will open up as the story progresses and/or your character attributes increase. None of these are missable and all can be started/completed in Premium Adventure (post-game). For a list of all the quests and how to complete them, see HERE.

In Yakuza, side missions come in the form of substories. When you see a white chat box on your map, that means there is a substory you can begin. A blue chat box indicates a substory in progress, and the location you need to go to progress it. Substories can involve regular fights, fetch quests, or even random minigames. If you plan on going for the platinum, you will likely earn this naturally because many things like Dragon Kart, intimate relationships, and other trophies are part of substories. There are a total of 52 substories, you only need to complete 40 of them for this trophy.
