I was a bit iffy about this series throughout the episode but that last part where she flipped and fought back changed my mind. As long as we get more scenes like that where she's acting like a Yakuza then I'll enjoy this series.

Art is a bit iffy though. The rest are fine but the MC just looks a bit off. Like her eyes and forehead.

Also holy shit she sold her kidney???!!

Forgive me if I have a lot of doubt on this kind of anime because guard dog anime still traumatized me, but to be fair it's kinda funny if you look through a different lens. Now back to this anime, there's nothing to comment yet other than it's willing to show body tattoo, which is nice. Other scenes are typical so far for a red flag anime. But this makes me wonder if I'll ever get to see the BL equivalent of yakuza-theme romantic anime.
@phantomfandom saezuru is BL yakuza themed

MC design is too ugly to dig. She does not look like a prostitute - she looks like past 40 prostitute from the cheapest brothel in a town.

Okay, so who's going to fix whom?

Ishida Akira voicing a high schooler wasn't something I was expecting tbh lol, but yeah I guess that voice fits the role. I don't know but glorifying toxicity will always be bottom of the barrel stuff for me, so not sure if I'd stick with this till then end, but okay, that kidney thing was sure a surprise xD

As a fan of the manga, where I really like the style and I find the story to be really interesting (and unique for a shoujo/seinen mix genre), this just didn't do it justice.

The art style is just ugh. The animation is also screaming for help.
I don't even know what to make out of this, and to be fair I didn't expect a lot when I saw the trailer (the style and colours seemed off), but the outcome is worse than I thought.

Or perhaps my expectations were too high...

The art style is disorienting at first, as though it's a Korean manhwa but you get used to it quickly.

Since this is seinen, it's a bit different to the usual romance so I like it.

this was a weird experience for me... firstly the anime is too dark that is hiding in rom-com genra, second can we talk about how toxic is the main hero like bro i understand that it's a shouja anime but like wtf he is literally making her a prostitute but still she is on a mission to impress him and than dump him that's dumb but I will give it the benifits of the doubt... but I can't take my eye of from the last scene in the opening will I see some physical stuff in this anime they should have alerted us about that ....

Yoshino will definitely carry this show with how little the animation movement is.

It’s technically shenien not shojo. But you’re right to notice it isn't going to play out like a typical rom-com. Imo, if you go into this show to see a romance, it will disappoint you.
As for the physical stuff in the opening:


The two leads are better defined as locked in a power struggle, and the fun is in watching Yoshino deal with her situation. I also have fun watching how awful they commit to making Kirishima. The more they go against what we expect from a romance, the more interested I become.

well, that's a sick introduction. op and ed are bangers, probably my favourite in the past few years. art-stlye reminds me of the 90s, matches the anime well in my opinion. both main characters look very interesting. having watched A LOT of romance shows, this looks rather unique. this might very well be the gem of the season.
he just like me fr fr too. he kind of radiates Ryan Gosling energy, but maybe that's just me.

Oh I guess it's going to be my toxic fix of the week, lol.

Didn't expect things to turn like this, but I actually enjoyed how messed up this is and how it can get even more messed up potentially.

Knew the girl wasn't a wimp but did she really sell her kidney or was it a bluff? Pretty interesting premise and I've been looking forward to this. Was a nice start. Both the protags are interesting and idk when was the last time I heard Ishida Akira voicing a male lead but absolutely the type of character he'd voice. Ueda Hitomi's voice acting is great as well. Already liking Yoshino and her character design is so good. Both OP/ED were good, think I like the op song more. Animation/visuals aren't the best but works fine for this one. Looking forward to upcoming episodes.
@MegamiRem The kidney thing is real, and it's a bit too crazy imo

The art style is quite old-school. I was surprised by the adult themes. I'm not sure about the vibes but it's definitely not a normal romance show. I think I might enjoy it, but the comedy seems a bit misplaced at times or the serious themes are misplaced in the comedy - either way it's an uncanny weird mish-mash. It reminds me of Yakuza yaoi manga from the 90's.

Dear God this is pathetic. I knew I wouldn't like it but still had hopes of bearing most of it. Nope, other than pathetic this is just sad. Oh well one show less to watch this season.

Extremely solid start. I love the art style and character designs. The plot itself also looks interesting. Yoshino is really cool and Kirishima... well, he's seems to be on the opposite side of the personality spectrum. I'm curious about how their unfortunate, because arranged, relationship will develop.
By the way, opening and ending are great.

No way she willingly went over like that.

I will say, the animation/artstyle is rather interesting...

What the fuck just happened? Ain't no way she actually sold her kidney, right?
