The official website for the TV anime Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii released a new visual for the show and confirmed that the anime will premiere in October 2024.
Kawase Toshifumi is directing the anime at Studio DEEN, and the anime will star Ueda Hitomi as Yoshino Somei and Ishida Akira as Kirishima Miyama.
The anime is based on Konishi Asuka’s Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii manga. Konishi (Haru no Noroi) started the ongoing manga in August 2017 in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine, and Kodansha released the manga’s first tankoubon volume in November 2017. The latest volume, number eight, was published in October 2023.
Yoshino grew up as the yakuza princess of the Osaka Somei crime family. Everyone left her alone due to her sharp gaze and mobster ties. But when her grandfather signs a truce with the Tokyo-based Miyama crime family, she’s offered in marriage to the Miyama leader’s grandson, Kirishima. At first, Kirishima seems amiable and polite–but when he shows his dark side, he proves to be more disturbing than any gangster Yoshino has ever met. This engagement will surely be a wild ride for a tough yakuza princess and her twisted yakuza prince!
