Toshifumi Kawase (Tenjho Tenge) is directing, with Rika Takasugi (Ooku: The Inner Chambers) on scripts, Itsuko Takeda (Black Clover) on character designs and Hiroaki Tsutsumi (JUJUTSU KAISEN) and Masato Suzuki (VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream) handling music for the Studio DEEN production.
The manga, which started in 2017, is ongoing in Afternoon magazine. It’s being released in English by Seven Seas. Here’s how they describe it:
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!
