Ooh, an action-packed edition of Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii! Lots of goons, plenty of fighting, and a fair amount of running and chasing too. But the stand-out moment comes right at the beginning when Yoshino tears her skirt so she can run through a crowd. It’s such a relatable scene for girls who often sacrifice comfort for fashion. Bonus points for another scene where she ditches her heels to sprint even faster—practical queen!

Titled “To Be Honest, I Want to Marry You Part 2,” episode 9 kicks off with Yoshino and Kirishima heading to a park, where they’re ambushed by a group of hired goons. The events in this chapter continue Ozu Kento’s plot to trap the duo, but we finally get a glimpse of the mastermind pulling the strings. Remember the masked figure who made a brief appearance in episode 8? We learn more about his identity in this episode, and it turns out he’s a pretty big deal in Yakuza circles. But what does he really want? That mystery is still under wraps!
Contrary to the romantic-sounding title, there’s barely any romance in this episode. In fact, Yoshino and Kirishima hardly interact, though they’re united in their mission to outsmart Ozu Kento’s goons. The episode leans heavily on violence and combat, with a quick check-in on Shoma’s situation at the hotel (remember how he rescued Nao after being tricked by Kirishima into going to her location?).
Plot-wise, not much happens in this chapter, but it does highlight how Yoshino and Kirishima both thrive on living life on the edge. They’re crazy in their own ways—Yoshino may want peace between the Yakuza families, but she clearly enjoys wielding power and influence.
Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
