The anime will be streamed on Crunchyroll in the following territories: North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS.
Toshifumi Kawase is directing the anime, with Rika Takasugi as series screenwriter and scriptwriter, Itsuko Takeda as character designer, and Hiroaki Tsutsumi and Masato Suzuki as music composers. Studio Deen is handling the animation production.
The original manga by Asuka Konishi was published on Pixiv under a pen name, before being serialized on Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon on August 25, 2017. Eight tankobon volumes were released as of October 2023. The series was awarded first place in the printed manga category of the 2018 Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Award. Seven Seas Entertainment releases the manga in English for North America.
Crunchyroll describes the synopsis of Yakuza Fiancé as:
Somei Renji is Somei Yoshino’s grandfather and leader of the “Somei Group”, the Kansai region’s biggest yakuza group. When he arranges for her to be married to Miyama Kirishima, Yoshino has to move to “Miyama Clan” estate, the Kanto region’s biggest yakuza group. Kirishima warmly welcomes Yoshino and is such a pleasant, personable, and nice young man that nobody would suspect that he comes from a yakuza family. This puts Yoshino at ease even though she was initially feeling insecure in this unfamiliar place.
But then, a certain event leads to Yoshino witnessing the real Kirishima.
