A leak of the cover for the upcoming 12/2023 issue of Kodansha‘s Monthly Afternoon revealed a confirmation for the animated adaptation of Konishi Asuka’s Raise wa Tanin ga Ii, as well as the volume 8 release announcement. Also known for Haru no Noroi, the manga that won second place in the 2017 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! in the female readers category, Konishi launched the series in the magazine on August 25, 2017, earning the Grand Prize at the 2018 Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Award in the printed manga category. The series will also be available in simulpub in Japan and the United States on K MANGA starting October 25.
Somei Yoshino, the sheltered granddaughter of the boss of the Somei yakuza family from Osaka, learns that his grandfather is putting an end to a years-long feud with a Tokyo family and uniting the two by marrying the bosses’ grandchildren… without any of her knowledge or consent. She reluctantly accepts to meet Miyama Kirishima, the Tokyo leader’s grandson, and spend time with him. He turns out to be a surprisingly friendly and kind young man, not what you’d expect from the relative of a yakuza, making her even comfortable enough to move to Tokyo and enrol on the same high school. But, eventually, the facade slips, and he reveals himself to be a cold-blooded thug with a masochistic streak a mile wide, who agreed to the arranged marriage expecting a spoiled, domineering yakuza princess who would put him in his place. Not expecting much help from her grandfather, she decides to cut loose and give him exactly what he wants and then some… and now he is madly in love with her.
