AJpurple said: still so messy. I just wish they were college students instead of high-schoolers. they look and act like adults and don't spend much time in school, so why make them like 17?? a story like this is exactly the kind that wouldn't suffer from its protagonists being 20 You have to remember these high schoolers are a part of the yakuza. They've been exposed to a darker side of life that, of course, they'll be more mature than their peers around them in school. It doesn't sound like you fully grasp the setting of this anime. This anime may sound like a nice romcom with bad boy yakuza guys but it's really a yakuza family using an engagement/wedding as a business transaction to get ahead with some romance (If you can call it that) sprinkled in. I thought the former at first, but after the first episode, I was like, "Oh, this is definitely not a regular romcom," lol Edit: Also, the fact that they're teenagers helps emphasize the lifestyle they were raised in. You're not wrong about them being older wouldn't hurt but I'm not sure if it would be as "impressive" (for lack of better word) since it would be like "oh yeah, they've been at this for a while." But seeing them as teens being so used to things invokes a sense of dread about what they've seen and been through, you know? 🤔 |

| That was one interesting way to start an episode, lol. |

| What a way to start an episode! I start to get a liking to this anime, but I wish Kirishima won't behave like an idiot/kid from time to time. In anime this kind of toxic relationship is almost like fresh air, 'since it is easy to become fed-up with so many goody-goody characters after a time. Of course this kind of guy too is pandering to a broad (mostly female) audience, there is nothing new in this hyper-masculin "beast to be tamed" archetype of a male. Anyway I am looking forward to what is to come next. |

| @Ishitateso "there is nothing new in this hyper-masculin "beast to be tamed" actually Kirishima is more complex than being just "a beast" and has more psychological issues than just being violent. In my opinion Yoshino has more of a hidden beast inside her and that's what Kirishima saw at the end of episode 1 and in episode 2 and that's why he started to be interested in her again. |
| Who else called that while the one guy was smoking, the male MC would sow up? 🤣 |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Wow, I never thought they would have the "balls" or pu**y to have a scene like that in an anime. This guy just gets more unhinged every second. I think I'm going to look forward to seeing how Yoshino wrecks him up in the future. |
Born to shoujo, forced to shounen. |
uncleqrow said: @Marinate1016 Wait, it's a seinen!? I thought it was a josei instead... what with the wild-natured-ikemen popular with ladies, and brash female lead atypical of most male oriented titles. I mean it's obviously not shoujo, with so many adult themes incorporated in prev EPs, but I really thought at least it was marketed towards females (hence josei) That’s why yall gotta stop associating demographics with genre. The mangaka is a known shojosei author tho so a lot of work reflects that. |

| Ayo, I didn't expect that kind of scene at the very beginning. ;D The meeting itself was a little boring. I'm not a fan of character dump scenes, but I know they are necessary sometimes. Some of people who attended the meeting might be given more time to shine later on. Haha, that ending caught me off-guard. I didn't expect Kishima to be walking there. ;p But on the other hand, earlier we could learn that he already started searching for more info regarding that dude. |
| What a way to start the episode :D |

| Looks like he already has a very close relationship with someone. It's like they're girlfriends with benefits LOL I feel kinda bad for her, it's hard to sleep with that crap behind/infront/above you. New (well technically old) guy seems a lot more tame, but also still psycho yakuza. Let's see how this triangle (notice how it's a triangle, further saying that girl is just a close friend) plays out. 4/5, hate the smoking but all these guys are supposed to be degenerates so... sure. |

keeping it PG-13 is a crime ..
this show should be R-X crime drama, hentai romance. no need for the cursed comedy.
honestly, it's merely a time waster.

Kurtadam13 said: keeping it PG-13 is a crime .. yeah I'm not sure why MAL keeps rating shows that should be R, PG-13. Like I wonder if they have a source for that or just default it. Everywhere I tried to find age ratings had it between the two ratings (15+, 16+) which you should round-up to R (17+) not down to PG13 (13+) |

| Nah, the way Kirishima was going down on a girl is so wrong. Esp if he likes her so much to the point he wants to marry her. Wtf. I guess it doesn't matter bc she doesn't like him. But the way he picked her up the floor was pretty cute ngl Shoma is very cute lol I'm not sure if I'm following the hierarchy tbh. Why were the guys at the meeting all pissy? Poor gpa just wanted to hangout with everyone but they all got separated due to jealous amongst themselves. I wonder want gpa gave everyone though. I too hate all the damn smoking. Its such a turn off |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| When an episode opens on oral sex I know it's my kind of show. Love how toxic it is. |
