Mark your calendars for October, because the anime is finally coming to a screen near you!

The cast includes:

Yōji Ueda as Renji Somei (left) and Kazuya Nakai as Gaku Miyama (right).

The anime is being directed by Toshifumi Kawase at Studio DEEN. The series will be written by Rika Takasugi, with Itsuko Takeda designing the characters, and Hiroaki Tsutsumi and Masato Suzuki composing the music.

Yoshino will perform the ending theme song “Nani Wararotonnen.”

And don’t forget that Seven Seas is releasing the manga in English, with a synopsis that reads:

Yoshino grew up as the yakuza princess of the Osaka Somei crime family. Everyone left her alone due to her sharp gaze and mobster ties. But when her grandfather signs a truce with the Tokyo-based Miyama crime family, she’s offered for betrothal to the Miyama leader’s grandson, Kirishima. At first, Kirishima seems amiable and polite–but when he shows his dark side, he proves to be more disturbing than any gangster Yoshino has ever met. This engagement is sure to be a wild ride for a tough yakuza princess and her twisted yakuza prince!

Konishi (Haru’s Curse) launched the ongoing series in Afternoon in 2017. The manga won the grand prize in the fourth Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards in 2018.
