Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

If you like messy and spicy romance with the ever present danger of death or bodily harm hanging over your main character’s shoulder, look no further than Yakuza Fiancé! Finally, a series that shows us the real ins and outs of Japan’s most famous criminal organisation and right in the middle of all that are our two leads who SHOULD be in class doing their math lessons, but are instead uncovering mob conspiracy theories and interrogating grown ass men. Yea, this show’s a riot, over the top and unbelievable but damn is it fun as hell. It also features the best girl of the season. I’m obsessed with this story and need more. Disclaimer up front, I am a massive Yoshino stan, she was my pick for girl of the season and is one of my favourite female characters overall. If you like your leads to not be damsels in distress who stand around waiting for the guy to come rescue them, able to outsmart people and not afraid to get their hands dirty in a fight, I have good news for you. Yoshino does that as well as anyone I’ve seen. She really is the driving force behind this story and your enjoyment will depend on how much you like her as a character. Assuming you’re a fan of bad ass girlboss characters, this is easily going to be one of the best shows of the year for you. One cool thing about Yakuza Fiancé is it doesn’t glorify the yakuza or make it this cool thing you want to join. Voluntarily entering it is one thing, but being born into a yakuza family puts you into a prison of sorts, prohibits the things you can do and be. You always have to have a guard and be looking over your shoulder. It’s a very restrictive lifestyle that can be hard to deal with, mentally and physically. They do a good job of showing how that affects Yoshino. She has to put up this fake persona to cope and survive with her circumstances. It gets played off as a joke during the series sometimes, but for the most part I think they nail the gravity of the situation. This series really doesn’t shy away from the reality of gang life. Blackmail, extortion, murder, drug use and a plethora of other unsavory things. It gets dark at times which I love. While exaggerated at times, it definitely felt like I was watching something aimed at adults. Hell, we even have a male lead who has casual sex with other girls while he’s pursuing the female lead. Like when’s the last time we’ve seen something like that, Nana? That’s a perfect segue into the other big selling point here. The romance. Love em or hate em, Yoshino and Kirishima are the focal point of the story. The classic arranged marriage to genuine relationship trope, but this one actually feels interesting because Kirishima is a scumbag. He acts like you would think a gang member acts. Sleeps around, foul mouthed, anger issues etc. While I am, at the time of writing, not a big fan of him, I really appreciate that the author gives us a different type of male lead. All of these shy dudes who are scared of girls get old. Show me someone who’s unhinged and has a ton of experience with women, but not THIS sort of woman. It’s a unique romance setup. I did see a little bit of growth out of Kirishima towards the end of the series, but personally I much prefer the childhood friend/bodyguard for Yoshino. Yea, he’s also a mob guy, but a much more normal person if that makes sense. There’s a cool little love triangle brewing between them which I love. Huge fan of tension and drama and this show has it in spades. The romance doesn’t get overbearing though, Yoshino is her own character and isn’t reliant on a man or a relationship to shine which I love. The art style is apparently a love or hate thing. I think it looks gorgeous, Yoshino’s look was one of my faves of the year. The animation left a lot to be desired, but it is a seinen romance tbf so you don’t need anything crazy.. certainly could’ve been better though. It’s up there with Deen’s better works as of late, not quite Gimai Seikatsu good, but solid. This was probably my 3rd favourite show of the season or so. I loved this one so much. The messiness, the gang warfare drama, Yoshino being a badass. There’s a lot to love here for me and I believe any fan of strong female leads will enjoy it. If you like your romance with some spice, this is also for you. Cannot wait to start reading it. Yakuza Fiancé gets 9 out of 10

What the fuk is this? Just tell me. I was hoping for a decent romance, but all I got was nonsense, cringe, and a story with no sense whatsoever. Stupid characters who keep changing their personalities every second, and guess what? It’s always for the worst. That’s all this show is about. The Only Watchable Episode? The First One. Yep, just episode 1. That’s it. We saw an innocent girl suddenly living with a yakuza for some random reason. The MC? He has this fake smile, but inside, he looks like a violent psychopath. And guess what? That was the only interesting thing about him. That’s it. After that? A complete mess that makes zero sense. The Big Dumb "Twist" – Personality Switch Gone Wrong! ------ Suddenly, the FMC’s personality does a complete 180. This dumb, annoying bitch suddenly starts acting all mighty like she’s some queen. “You mess with me, and you’ll pay.” Yeah, sure. And our MC? The same guy who was acting all violent suddenly turns into a dumbass lapdog. And it’s not just them—every character goes through these stupid personality changes that have no logic whatsoever. And guess what? It stays that way till the end. STORY ------ There Is No Story. Heh-heh, No story in this show. It is like a one-time watch of the same episode until the final credits roll.The MC was destined for better things, but after that first almost worthy episode, all he does is act like a stupid-ass, chasing around a stupid bitch who isn't worth anything. That is it. That's the whole complete story. And the FMC? She even doesn't have character. She does the same thing again and again, acting high and mighty for no apparent reason and bringing nothing serious to the story. in the end This show is garbage. A wannabe dark romance that doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing. It’s cringe, the story is nonsensical, and the characters are the worst part of it all. Don’t even bother watching unless you enjoy pain and disappointment. At this point, you might as well start watching a hentai at least it would make more sense than this.

Shoujo and Josei enjoyers are really starved in the anime industry and I thought this was a beacon of hope with a promising and interesting premise. It wasn't that. This series really wants to be too many things at once. You can't build a fluffy romance on top of a morally grey crime syndicate story and make the protagonists at times crazy, badass, calculative mind gamey but also kind of innocent, deeply in love cinnamon buns. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but what will come of that is protagonists that feel like they have dissociative identity disorder with the whiplash they give you with their motivations and reactions. I was watching this screaming "this doesn't make any sense" so many times. Does it want me to watch a matching-their-freak sado-maso badass Yakuza girl romance with a guy head over heels with a calculative badass or does it want me to watch a more or less earnest and innocent girl fall in love with a kind of morally grey and a little bit of a social dimwit but totally deeply in love with her fluffy romance? Is it trying you be 'i love you but you hate me'? Its trying to act like it is! But she stops hating him after like an episode and just acts mildly irritated with him while at the same time apparently trying to get her revenge on him because she hates him but also at the same time they're kind of besties who rely on each other? This is a mess in so many ways by trying to be and have the characters be too many things at once, where nothing they do makes any sense. Its like Schrodingers Josei, with how the characters exist with multiple personalities at once until observed by an unassuming Josei enjoyer.

Welp, where do i even start. Ive seen many tiktoks about this anime and i decided to give it a try. I dont know if in manga this all is written better or no, since ive never read it but i feel like there is no character development...Almost every episode its the same, sometimes i could predict as well whats gonna happen. I dont really like that idea that he was sleeping with multiple women. I kinda hope they would maybe make another season later so we can also get some answers on our questions, since the last episode end up the way it did. The artstyle is not really cup of my tea but i didnt have big problem with it as other people have. Welp, if someone is bored and maybe looking for something to watch so ye give it a try, but i wouldn't rate it more than 5/10 average.

WATCHING THIS IS SELF-HARM where do i even begin with ? i thought of giving this anime a try after all the twitter hype only to go few episodes in and realizing THIS WAS SHITTY SINCE BEGINNING AND HAVE NO IMPROVEMENT. who even is this anime for ? it is tagged as "seinen" but be for real with me ? ARE ADULT MEN REALLY ENJOYING THIS DOGSH*T ? okay "josei" then ? I AM AN ADULT WOMAN AND I WISH I NEVER STARTED THIS EUGH. and if the shounen and shoujo audience is watching this...I AM CONCERNED. there is no plot, no characters building, aesthetics of a trash and nothing else. some weirdos saying "it's supposed to be realistic portrayal of yakuza" - GIRL PLEASE....there is pure romanticizing of the manwhore main lead...and we are talking about realism. the female lead is textbook badass lmao like girl you are a doormat *I AM CRYING* god...i am so pissed with this shitty anime. do not waste your time on this garbage, there is nothing to enjoy..rather read a dark romance book or watch a fluffy shoujo if you crave romance or actually watch japanese indie movies IF YOU NEED "REALISTIC" PORTRAYAL OF YAKUZA.

Yakuza Fiancé is not a serious anime series. What first drew me to this series was exactly that unserious, insane, toxic "romantic" element. It was wild enough to keep me entertained during the first manga chapters, but I soon grew tired of it. And the same happened with the anime. The whole thing "it's so bad it's good" ran its course and became just boring and, at times, even unbearable. Once the shock of the crazy circumstances and the batshit insane male lead is over with, and we become accustomed to everything, it kind of becomes predictable. And the secondary cast and fights, "scheming" and sexual dalliances are just boring and irritating; they very much feel like someone's idealized wet dream of a gangster/mafioso/yakuza/criminal bad boy. The animation is not bad, but it's not good either, it's just "meh", it does its job well enough. But I really, really dislike the characters' designs, specifically those horrendous eyes with the weird pupils. Yakuza Fiancé is a mind-numbing show. I didn't watch this anime for wholesomeness or realism, but I did watch it because I thought it would be stupid and crazy enough to keep me amused. Turns out it was mainly just stupid.

^^MILD SPOILERS^^ Like most people who watched this, I started it because I kept seeing a ton of reels about it. It looked like a mostly wholesome romance anime with some action, but honestly… those 20 second edits do NOT do it justice. And by that, I mean it’s lowkey dogsh*t. Miyama, one of the main characters, is a total asshole. He’s constantly going from girl to girl, then turns around and says Somei is the ONLY one for him, no joke, literally talking about how much he loves her while he’s IN BED with another woman. That pissed me off- What’s even crazier is that Somei isn’t written as a “I can fix him!!” type of girl. She’s independent and doesn’t let things slide easily ESPECIALLY cheating, and she KNOWS he’s doing it but then she says she doesn’t care which is not in character. Even though the story itself is kind of confusing, I’ll admit it’s kind of creative at least. Watch it if you want to get pissed off by one of the worst anime boyfriends ever. I don’t want to be too harsh, but yeah… it’s mostly slop

The romance aspect is very much missing, The love interest is very weird even without the fu*kboy nonsense and there's no basis for the love at all, maybe i need to read the manga but I found the premise to be very interesting just horrible execution . It seems to me they want to show that love where the guy would kill for the girl but i find that kind of thing is overboard. He wants to kill people for her but won't show her he's committed(continuously sleeps with women while claiming to love her). He stalks her, invades her privacy and they still want to portray this as love to a young adult male population, I think this is very alarming. They should discuss why these things are bad instead of just always brushing past it as if it's a healthy way to get to know someone. This guy doesn't learn at all.

I'm honestly a little surprised that this series doesn't have a better rating. But then again... I saw some of what people complained about with this series and it's honestly quite silly. For starters, this is an anime about YAKUZA. Don't go into this series thinking that these characters are going to be pure of heart, morally upright, or even sane or healthy. This series is a bit more adult and, in a way, more realistic; some people can't seem to handle that. Some characters sleep around, many are violent, and a lot of characters have their own crazy agendas and motivations that fuel their actions. Kind of like real life, people cheat, get hurt, and aren't always mentally healthy to be around. This anime isn't very dark, but it does seem to have irked some people. To any who may be offended by its subject matter, I say this: a romance isn't always GOOD, and the people involved may not be either. In fact, some shows categorized as "romance" are MEANT to focus on toxic character dynamics. You're not necessarily supposed to root for the main couple all the time. Sometimes, you just go with the flow and observe their journey to see where the people involved end up. Yakuza Fiance is one of those series. With that out of the way, I can delve a little bit deeper into the characters themselves. The female main character, Yoshino Somei, seems to be a generally good person with a bit of a dangerous side that she ends up indulging in when a member of a different yakuza group comes into her life. I think with this yakuza anime the sides of the characters are actually supposed to come out as if being activated by a switch. They switch between their usual personality and their darker one, sometimes in quite abrupt ways that people may find jarring. However, I found it to be quite refreshing and even humorous. Yoshino is a tough girl; she just doesn't seem like it in the first episode. Perhaps her general niceness hides this. Yoshino's switch though...Kirishima Miyama. Once she figures out that something weird is up and that this new guy is interested in her, we get a fuller image of who Yoshino is. She's quite the fiery to say the least. As for Kirishima Miyama, he's ridiculously toxic. It's obvious that his upbringing or something in his past scarred him in some ways, although this isn't explored very much. I can only assume that they'll get around to that in a second season... If not, I guess they'll leave it at "He never learned basic decency due to his background". His interactions with the people around him, especially Yoshino, are the highlight of the series. I've gotten a good laugh out of the many ways they try to get ahead of/maneuver around each other's tendencies and the lengths they'll go just to show that they mean business. Kirishima is awful, and he hides it all behind a smile. And even that doesn't quite do the job. It almost feels forced. Their facades definitely make for an interesting show though. For one reason or another, those two have a compelling chemistry that I think even they aren't quite sure of. As for the other characters, they serve their purpose, often adding to the somewhat episodic nature of the show. They have a bit of mystery and humor to them as well, but don't expect very fleshed out characters. The plot, as I mentioned before, is mostly episodic. I personally found it difficult to keep track of the little details from previous episodes that came up again in future episodes, but maybe that's just me. The show is mostly just yakuza fights with some foreshadowing of a power struggle that the main characters find themselves involved in. It's also just a lot of crazy situations jam packed into a show with the plot used as a mere means for those situations to occur. The story is not perfect by any means, but it is enjoyable if you just want a crazy ride. It's a ride revolving around impulsive decisions, plain crazy decisions, hedonism, and simply the joy of a challenge. The amount of fun and glam in this show is more than enough to make up for the areas where it's lacking. And a warning: a large part of this show's appeal is IN its ridiculousness. A lot of characters, scenarios, and dialogue would obviously not be acceptable in real life, and the show does not promote it; it merely depicts it, and says "Look at how insane this is!" It's pretty much daring you to keep watching and see how things escalate. Anyway, back to the glam I mentioned earlier... I'm absolutely in LOVE with the art style. The opening and ending themes are a good example of the best that the show has to offer, but there's plenty in the show itself that looks stunning. Although it can be a hit or miss for some people, especially with certain characters, it can be absolutely beautiful. I love the vibrant colors, the highlights and shadows in the hair, and even the eyes. The emotional intensity of the characters is expressed wonderfully in their faces. It leans into those Yakuza vibes perfectly, especially in the way the character's faces contort and appear ominous. There are a lot of "What did you just say?!" faces that scream "There's gonna be a murder" so that's a plus if you're into that. There is a scene where the clothes look weird on Yoshino, but I think that was a one off. The art is usually well done. The animation is just...fine. Not spectacular, but fairly good. The soundtrack is fine as well. It's quite effective for the moment, though I can't really say that it's memorable. The opening and ending themes are the best samples of music in the show. Overall, it's a pretty good anime. Just watch it if you want a good laugh. Or maybe if you want to see some wacky character dynamics. It put a smile on my face for sure despite everything. It's hard to not enjoy it. For some people, it's a guilty pleasure, but for me... It's just a show of extremes. Stylish, extravagant, and excessive while also generally lacking depth and seriousness. It's a balance I find to be intriguing. Maybe you will too.

Yakuza Fiancé has been a delightful surprise this season, embracing its trashy, messy, yet utterly captivating nature. It’s one of those rare gems that unapologetically indulges in melodrama and chaos, yet remains irresistibly spicy and engaging - a true guilty pleasure in the best sense of the term. From the moment the story kicks off, you’re plunged into a whirlwind romance that’s equal parts dangerous and thrilling. The premise of a yakuza-arranged marriage might sound absurd, but it’s handled with such flair and charisma that it’s impossible to look away. The main characters are walking disasters in the most endearing way, their toxic chemistry sizzling on screen as they navigate a relationship that’s as tumultuous as it is intoxicating. It’s a dynamic that’s rarely captured so well, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of the fiery, emotionally charged romances in classic series like "Nana." "Yakuza Fiancé" doesn’t shy away from embracing the darker aspects of its yakuza-themed setting, but it balances those moments with a surprising amount of humor and heartfelt exchanges. There’s an authenticity to the characters that makes even their most absurd decisions feel grounded and, dare I say, relatable. They’re flawed and messy, but that’s precisely what makes them so compelling. The animation has been a topic of contention among viewers, but honestly, it’s serviceable and does its job of bringing the story to life. This isn’t the kind of show you watch for its visuals; it’s all about the characters. The aesthetic matches the gritty and unpolished vibe of the narrative, and while it might not be groundbreaking, it’s certainly not a deal-breaker. What elevates "Yakuza Fiancé" beyond mere trashy entertainment is its unabashed confidence in what it is. It doesn’t try to be deep or overly sophisticated—it revels in its chaos and dares you not to be entertained. For fans of over-the-top romance with a spicy edge, this series is an absolute treat. Whether it’s the sharp dialogue, the explosive arguments, or the moments of genuine tenderness that catch you off guard, there’s always something to keep you hooked. If you’ve been craving a romance that’s bold, unfiltered, and just a little bit toxic (in the most entertaining way possible), "Yakuza Fiancé" delivers in spades. It’s messy, it’s trashy, and it’s utterly fabulous—a rollercoaster ride of emotions that’s impossible to resist. Thanks to advancements in the industry, the process of adapting manga into anime doesn’t take a decade anymore. While I’m not sure if "Yakuza Fiancé" will get a sequel, it gives me hope for more low-budget, niche adaptations to come our way. It’s an exciting time to be a fan, with so many niche stories finally getting their chance to shine.

I don’t usually write anime reviews, but I felt like this one needed it—especially given its undeserved low rating. After watching, it quickly became one of the series that made me wish for an immediate Season 2. The story hooked me, probably because of its unique and intriguing plot. Some viewers criticize the characters for being immature, impulsive, or childish, but let’s not forget—they’re literally high schoolers. Their behavior makes sense in context. Personally, I enjoy strong female leads who take control, and while I wasn’t a fan of the male lead’s personality, the character dynamics kept things interesting. I’ll admit, the animation isn’t top-tier, but the characters—whether good or bad—felt compelling and real to me. Their flaws made them human, and that’s what I appreciated most. I’m just glad I didn’t let the low rating discourage me from watching. If you’re on the fence, give it a chance and judge for yourself. Now, I can only hope for a well-deserved Season 2.

Yakuza Fiance is a slow burning, hidden gem in the "slice of life with Yakuza" anime. It doesn't fit too much with crime drama, nor comedy / romance, but it plays off each genre to give it an edge. Yakuza family dynamics are always a fascinating study and in this case, the show gives a realistic overview in which these high school students have to grow up faster than the rest, even though Yoshino is immature with dating and Kirishima's social cues are abnormal. Each episode is unique and the story arcs have a good pace where you can keep up with the snippy dialogue in-between. Be warned with some confusing moments: there is a lot of back story with name dropping within the families and some of those characters don't show up in the first season. The character art design has had mixed reviews, I personally love the art, but there are two key characters that were nearly identical and they appear in back to back episodes (Nao and Tsunami). Overall, the finale was one of my favorites in 2024, it is well worth the journey, so give it a chance!!

I have no idea what this was trying to be. To begin with, it seems like this is a comedic romance, where two crazy and toxic people try to out-crazy and out-toxic each other, which sounds hilarious. Then it seems like its trying to be a mature underworld crime story about the Yakuza, with all the associated sex and violence, which sounds thrilling. Then at times it seems like its about two people playing clever mind games with each other, which sounds intriguing. And then out of nowhere, you'll get the most milquetoast, fluffy nonsense imaginable, which sounds like it was written by a 5 year old. It's like it has a multiple personality disorder. Where this series shines is the combination of a toxic romance with a gritty, violent Yakuza setting. The mind games are never more than convoluted nonsense. The fluffier 'romantic' parts are forced and unearned. There is the occasional laugh out loud moment, but not often enough to make it worth watching. Frankly though, the worst part of it is the lack of follow through. After an arc about an attempted hit, blackmail, and substantial violence we cut to a resolution where our leads are talking about 'evidence' and 'guilt' and how they 'can wreck your life if you wreck ours'. These are Yakuza kids, on one of their turf's, who's lives were just threatened by an upstart out-of-towner pimp. Screw 'evidence', 'guilt', and 'never bother us again'. The dude would be dead, yet the show won't follow through with it. We get mature violence and themes of sexual exploitation, followed by a resolution that wouldn't be out of place in a show aimed at 6 year olds. What even is this!? This show had potential, but fell far short of it. It's competently made and gets the occasional laugh, but it's a schozophrenic mess of ideas that just doesn't work.

This anime/manga is not a usual lovey dovey, innocent love, like hell NO! This anime/manga has it's charm as you binge into next and next ep of the series. As you know in Yakuza world, of course all the male here are MAJOR RED FLAG like what you would expect? like I said this anime is not your typical romance anime. This is typical male yandere with more crazy, masochist best like behaviour WITH twist of strong, headstrong, bravest female lead character that makes this anime more fun plus it's match and feed between this two male and female lead. I really strong recommend for this anime and can't wait for season 2!!!!!

I originally dropped this anime when it first aired as it just didn’t feel like a week-to-week watch. To my surprise I am glad I came back to binge it because this series ended up being not only AMAZING but really funny and cute for a romance. I’m a total sucker for romance anime, especially when there’s a twist or unique hook that sets it apart from the usual rom com formula. Not only do we get a romance between two unlikely individuals tied together by the violent world they live in, but the show also dives into a darker crime syndicate plot with sharp, edgy characters that give the entire story so much flavor. Even if at times that flavor is a bit CRAZY it made the watch from start to finish SO MUCH MORE enjoyable! Overall if you are looking for a romance anime that has a bit of a sharper edge, then I recommend Yakuza Fiance!

I don't watch a whole ton of anime on my own these days , but I'd seen this and thought it looked interesting. And honestly ...It could have been. It has all the makings of something that would be up my alley. Dark/grey moral characters , humor, a neat enough art style and premises. Sadly its just too short for its own good. The start is strong and the mid-section of the show gets an interesting enough story beat while pushing some slow character development along. But sadly this ends on a mess of a plot due to its unfinished/ open ended nature and feeling like while the characters are going somewhere relationship-wise in a slow burn sort of way that it was a nice waste of time watching this. Idk how much better or farther along the manga might be but this show really falls flat . I wanted to like it , even did at times but it needed at least twice the length and without knowing if we'd get another season or anything its just a hard to recommend.

Not everyone will enjoy this extremely pompous display. Not to mention how cranky the characters are. I feel like I'm being hypocritical if I say I'm becoming less interested in the majority of romantic anime that are now showing. Simply put, this show is completely unrealistic compared to anything else I can think of. And let's not even discuss the unpleasant characters who have the most weird obsessions, sexual bents, and relationships of all kinds. While this show will generally be looked at as a 'rom-com', I suggest thinking otherwise. The absurdity is there, but it will ultimately come across as cringe-worthy fan service, even when it's funny. Despite some poor relationship dynamics and masochist characters, this anime provides an okay glimpse into Yakuja's inner workings. Speaking of music, I particularly loved the opening song of this series, The Oral Cigarettes, being one of my favorite rock artists from Japan. Rather than being music, the last song was more of a visual treat. The finish of this season was fairly unprepared for, with no clear teasing for the next season. Guess there's no guarantee that it will get a second season. I will wait, though, because I am a manga reader.

Let me start this out by saying I am very interested in getting a second season! I've seen some bad reviews that imo have no clue what they're talking about and probably haven't even finished the anime.. and I've seen some good reviews that do it justice but also fanned the flames a little too high. Even though I personally loved it and got sucked in by the plot and building romance I can understand how some people might not like it so I'll say.. maybe watch with caution. If you don't like drama, violence, bad language, psychopaths, and sex scenes (although relatively tame) then this anime probably isn't for you and you'll probably hate it. No reason to call it trash or give it a bad review though if it's just not your thing, drop it or don't watch. If you like all of that then this anime is for you and this review is for you! Ya want a badass female who seems like a normal chick until she flips her psycho switch on?! This is an anime for you! Yoshino, the FL, comes off as an everyday highschool girl who suddenly gets thrown into an arranged marriage by her Yakuza grandfather (who has no business being that attractive btw!!) and is set up to marry his friend's nephew Kirishima. Kirishima is introduced as a polite and respectful character, but there is clearly another side to him. When he shows this other side to Yoshino she gets freaked out but then she flips her psycho switch on and lets him have it! Which is when he falls in love with her! Yup, he becomes smitten as soon as he realizes she won't be scared away as easily as other girls. From that point on he continues to try to win her favor while also bedding any girl that helps him with his Yakuza job because even though he technically isn't Yakuza and doesn't want to be he's still trapped in the family and does his job as told or faces punishment. He is shady, sleezy, and a total masochist. She literally calls him a scumbag BUT he is slowly changing as she shows him not only kindness but also that she will not stand for his crap! She puts him in his place countless times and that's one of the reasons I love this anime! These two balance each other out while also becoming terrifying psychos ya don't wanna f-ck with. And I can't forget the other member of the love triangle (although I don't ship them because from what I've seen she treats him as a little brother even though he's older) Shouma is the stoic type but he still fights and kicks ass when he needs to, mostly to protect Yoshino. He's from her Yakuza family, and they've been friends since they were children so it's the childhood friend trope but I think it fits. Basically, these three are complete psycho but the funny thing is Yoshino and Shouma both act like Kirishima is the only insane one. None of them are sane, trust me lol But if ya ask me that makes for one entertaining watch! Definitely a 9/10 IMO

I was recommended this show, and I have to admit that I wasn't sure how I would feel about it. I loved the art style; I thought it was really pretty. The characters were a bit all over the place, but I think I would enjoy the manga more. It was definitely a roller coaster with many things happening, but I didn’t really mind that. I really hope there will be a season two because I’d like closure on a few unresolved storylines. While I don’t think it will become one of my favorites, it was an easy and quick watch. I truly loved the main character; she was both badass and funny. Overall, I'm not disappointed.

Let it be known, this is WAY more than a just some rom-com, so PLEASE don’t some in thinking this is some ecchi/ highschool drama. Although it have the tag romance, it’s a plot device used to develop the story that no one was expecting. This is a yakuza anime, through and through. If you can’t handle human trafficking, sex work, blackmailing, manipulation, realistic gang violence, and a butt load of mental illness, DON’T WATCH THE SHOWN. For those who can a put their morality aside, not self insert themselves into a character, and just enjoy a well writing roller coaster, then this is the show for you. I would share the plot but… I actually think just watching without any spoilers or thinks to look out for it WAY better. My only advice is watch the show in dub and try being a little open minded to different type of … romance…( god it hard not spoil this.). Anyways good luck and enjoy the roller coaster that you sign yourself up for.
