“How about I become normal then?”
“Huh?”
“I will become your idea of a normal guy, Yoshino.”
Pretty much everything that comes out of Kirishima Miyama’s mouth further convinces Yoshino that he is completely off his rocker—a total psycho. Even his offer to become a “normal kinda guy” to woo Yoshino sounds like a crazy proposition.
Titled I Can’t Tell If You’re Smart or Stupid, episode 4 of the anime series Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii begins with the much-anticipated encounter between Kirishima and Shoma Toriashi. Non-manga readers learned in episode 3 that Shoma had been adopted into the Somei family by Yoshino’s grandfather, so the two are like family, even though they’re not related by blood. This latter fact fuels Kirishima’s jealousy when he sees the close relationship Yoshino shares with Shoma. Mistaking the envy for anger, Yoshino freaks out, wondering if he is bored and plotting to kill her. LOL.
A love-struck Kirishima is creepy and bad enough—imagine poor Yoshino having to deal with a jealous stalker now. Most of the episode focuses on the slowly changing dynamics between the two teens, and for the first time, Yoshino acknowledges the slight chance she might fall for Kirishima, while lover-boy already thinks they’re headed toward marriage!
Episode 4 of Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii is well-paced and reveals a few new sides to Kirishima, whose character is just too exaggerated to be a high-school kid. But, well, that’s the point of this comedic-violent-romance show. Yoshino’s ability to handle his bipolar moods and statements is truly impressive, and for the first time, Kirishima displays a genuinely caring attitude towards her. It’s going to be interesting to see if Yoshino warms up to him in the coming episodes.
You can watch the series on Crunchyroll.
