Kirishima Miyama has explicitly confessed his love for Yoshino Somei, however, our young lady protagonist is in no mood to trust her shady Yakuza fiance and is always prepared to murder him… if need be.
Episode three of Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii kicks off with a rather saucy scene of Kirishima sleeping with another girl, but he can’t stop gushing about Yoshino and how she constantly frowns at him. ‘Maybe she has a boyfriend in Osaka and they’re in a long-distance relationship,’ the girl suggests, sparking newfound curiosity in Kirishima. The arrival of a young man—spotted on a bike at the end of episode two—only adds to the intrigue. Non-manga readers get to learn more about him in this episode – he is a teen called Shoma Toriashi from Osaka, about the same age as Yoshino.

Titled “The Triangle From Hell,” the episode features plenty of humorous moments as Kirishima and Yoshino bicker, with Yoshino convinced that the Yakuza brat has lost interest in her and is scheming to kill her. When Kirishima learns that she has no romantic feelings for him, he resolves to become someone she can fall in love with—how he plans to do that promises to be entertaining.
Meanwhile, a major Yakuza meeting with the heads of various clans takes place in Tokyo, so Yoshino’s grandfather, Renji Somei, is in the city as well. Yoshino gets to learn a little bit more about the warring clans, and both she and viewers are reminded that her engagement with Kirishima could be crucial to establishing some peace between enemy groups. While the animation in this episode is slightly choppy, the fast-paced developments keep it engaging, and the animation quality doesn’t detract much from the experience.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as Kirishima comes face to face with the new character, Shoma, for the first time.
You can watch the series on CrunchyRoll.
