Twisted Romance Series “Yakuza Fiancé” to Receive an Anime Adaptation 

Are you tired of typical shoujo romance anime and waiting for something a little more different? Then you are in for a treat! Yakuza Fiance is a story about Yoshino and Kirishima, who are in a truce engagement.

The characters are unique, and they are everything you wish to see in a yakuza romance. The female character isn’t your typical damsel in distress, but she is solid and adaptable. The story is magnificent as well. Fans were parched for an anime adaptation, and their wishes are finally coming true.

Asuka Konishi’s X account announced that Konishi’s Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii manga will get a television anime adaptation.

A teaser visual featuring Kirishima and the yakuza princess, Yoshino, has been released on the official Twitter account. We can see Kirishima making a heart while Yoshino is seen crossing her hands in a true gangster style.

In addition to the news about the anime adaptation, a promotional video was released commemorating Volume 8. Continuing from past PVs, Akira Ishida is playing the role of Kirishima, Koji Yusa as Shoma Toriashi, and Hiroshi Kamiya plays the role of Suo Aki.

The PV is available for a limited time until January 21, 2024.

The series is unique, and the story sucks you right in. The art style is distinctive. Yoshino is feminine and has a mature woman aesthetic, while Kishima’s tattoos deserve a fanbase.

The character personalities are the cherry on top, and the male lead goes beyond your typical yandere trope. He is a two-faced, unreadable masochist. And he drives changes within Yoshino. The romance between them is highly grounded but far from reality at the same time.

If you are looking for a different type of romance, you should add this to your watchlist.
