Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii
来世は他人がいい
After years of animosity, the leaders of Osaka's Somei and Tokyo's Miyama yakuza groups have called a truce—by arranging an engagement between their respective grandchildren, Yoshino Somei and Kirishima Miyama. To this end, 17-year-old Yoshino moves to Tokyo to live with the Miyama family and attend school with her new fiancé. Although Kirishima is all smiles and perfectly polite, there is something unsettling about his demeanor that Yoshino cannot put her finger on. Yoshino's suspicions are soon confirmed: despite his manners, Kirishima is a masochistic maniac. He hurts people without batting an eye and also revels in being punished verbally and physically himself. What he wants most is a spoiled and arrogant fiancée who will ruin his life. When Yoshino does not quite meet his expectations, he reveals his true colors and openly insults her. However, instead of running away in fear, Yoshino decides to take revenge by making Kirishima fall in love with her and then ruthlessly breaking his heart. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Overall great anime, realistic in yakuza families and their inner relations. Unrealistic in fights and power some individuals hold due to their connections etc. (plot armor really) but it is an anime in the end. It is exploring the worldview and emotions of a psychopathic male lead and there is definitely character development. I don't get people that say there is none. Not a masterpiece and don't expect too much depth, just good anime. I wanted to write this review because too many people shit on it. Don't miss out at the expense of idiotic woke culture. Western "morals" are not universal and not everyone hasto live abiding by them.

(Spanish review below). I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. I started watching the anime because I thought it would be interesting to watch, but at the same time I had no expectations and I wanted to watch something entertaining. And it was! I really enjoyed watching it every Monday while it was on. It was like watching a romcom full of drama and lots of funny scenes. I don't recommend taking it seriously and much less expecting the romance to develop. If you're expecting a romance anime, you're not going to find it. It does have certain situations that build up theromance, but it's not something that happens in the anime, nor do I think it's close to happening in the rest of the story. The same goes for the +16 part of the anime. There is blood when they fight, but there are no big scenes of violence, nor explicit sexual scenes. There is nothing that is graphic. It is quite soft in that sense. I really liked the characters, especially Yoshino. I liked that she didn't go to extremes. She could be feminine and vulnerable, but also assert her limits and defend herself or others. She's also quite intelligent and proactive, something I appreciate because I prefer those types of characters, especially the femenine ones. I couldn't stand Kirishima most of the time. I was annoyed by everything about him, mainly that he doesn't care about anything and has that annoying little smile on his face. The only good thing I'll say about him is that, although he is a manipulator, he respects Yoshino's boundaries and those of other people in general. The drawing style seemed original to me, although it's not one of my favorites. The animation did seem pretty mediocre to me. It's not the worst in the world, but it's far from good. Sometimes they looked like robots walking. Apparently there are problems with the publication of the manga and it's not known if or when it will continue. Personally, I would watch a second season because I had a great time watching the first one, but it's not a story that caught my attention, and I'm not dying to know how it continues. I recommend watching it if you want to see something light and entertaining. ... No pensé que me gustaría tanto como lo hizo. Comencé viendo el anime porque pensé que sería interesante de ver, pero al mismo tiempo no tenía expectativas y quería mirar algo entretenido. ¡Y lo fue! Disfruté mucho de verlo cada lunes mientras estaba en emisión. Era como ver una telenovela llena de drama y muchas escenas graciosas. No recomiendo tomárselo en serio y mucho menos esperar que el romance se desarrolle. Si esperan que se trate de un anime romántico, no lo van a encontrar. Sí tiene ciertas situaciones que van construyendo el romance, pero no es algo que pase en el anime, ni creo que esté cerca de suceder en el resto de la historia. Lo mismo va para la parte +16 del anime. Sí hay sangre cuando pelean, pero no hay grandes escenas de violencia, ni escenas sexuales explícitas. No hay nada que sea gráfico. Es bastante suave en ese sentido. Los personajes me gustaron bastante, sobre todo Yoshino. Me gustaba que no se fuera a los extremos. Podía ser femenina y vulnerable, pero también hacer valer sus límites y defenderse a sí misma o a otros. También es bastante inteligente y proactiva, algo que agradezco porque prefiero ese tipo de personajes, sobre todo si son femeninos. A Kirishima no lo aguanté la mayor parte del tiempo. Me molestaba todo de él, principalmente que todo le importe poco y esté con esa sonrisita molesta. Lo único bueno que diré de él es que, si bien es un manipulador, respeta los límites de Yoshino y de otras personas en general. El estilo de dibujo me pareció novedoso, aunque no es de mis favoritos. La animación sí me resultó bastante mediocre. No es lo peor del mundo, pero está lejos de ser buena. A veces parecían robots caminando. Al parecer hay problemas con la publicación del manga y no se sabe si continuará o cuándo. En lo personal, miraría una segunda temporada porque la pasé muy bien mirando la primera, pero tampoco es una historia que me haya atrapado, ni me muero por saber cómo sigue. Recomiendo verlo si quieren ver algo ligero y entretenido.

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 theseason. 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

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 youwith 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.

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, edgycharacters 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!
