Fandom friend sent these and the anime tie-in stuff is actually kinda fun. If I lived in Japan right now I would probably have a lot more of it. 🤭

Sad it’s still on hiatus but hoping Konishi Asuka is okay, @crunchyroll.com releases the Blu-ray with a dub, @goodsmile.com makes a Yoshino #Nendroid 🌸

This guy is on his way (yay!) but no news of a Yoshino friend (boo!) so requesting (again.). #RaisewaTaningaii #YakuzaFiancé

GoodSmile has a request form if you want Yoshino merch (which there is so little of it’s criminal): support.goodsmile.com/hc/en-us/art...

‘she might *LEAVE*’ is what I meant to say (dammit) 😂

Before they fall asleep, he’s surprised when she CRAWLS INTO BED WITH HIM and says SHE COULDN’T SLEEP FOR DAYS WORRYING ABOUT HIM like she might be the first person to actually care after Sumire. So of course he’s devastated she’s freaked out.

What makes Kirishima so intriguing is you can read his expression as dismay (unintentionally and unknowingly made his only friend uncomfortable), confusion (he was barely conscious and he managed to screw up), fear (new trust is broken and she might), and not be sure what’s true. #RaiseWaTaningaii 🌸

Finally watched the dub of Ep12: When She’s Upset the Rain Falls and the Dark Night Descends and now back to thumb twiddling. Hoping this one gets a Blu-ray release because sometimes physical media fills the hole an indefinite hiatus leaves behind. *sigh* #RaiseWaTaningaii #YakuzaFiancé I guess. 🌸🌸🌸

Life is a little rough right now and kudos are a HUGE boost. 🌸 Hand on all the Japanese and English licensed translations so far, all the multichaps WILL be finished before the end of the year. Appreciate your patience. 💕#RaiseEaTaninGaii #YakuzaFiance #fanfic #AO3

Shouma behavior. 🙃

(Yoshino would trxt back and tell him to throw that thing out. 😂)

#YakuzaFiancé has a good dub. I’m at the point where I hook my phone up to the car radio and listen to the dub like an audio book on long drives. Need the Blu-ray. 🌸

Weirdly the Yakuza Fiance dub release (TOMORROW) didn’t get an announcement on Bluesky but still gonna say I’m crazy stoked for it. And happy to see the cast members and crew who did support. 🌸🌸🌸

Hoping #RaiseWaTaninGaIi finds a new audience! (BUY THE MANGA, BTW.)

Love the vibe here. The outfits are actually in line with the characters— shoes, gloves, single v. double breasted vests for the boys, poses, etc.

AU where Yoshino runs a bodyguard-for-hire service and the boys are her two top earners. #RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiancé 🌸

Kirishima is so doggy-coded. Based on a Twitter sketch showing Yoshino admiring a fluffy white dog and Kirishima announcing he’d be happy to act like a dog for her, he’s like a Spitz— a sweet, affectionate breed that yaps a lot. 💕 #RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiancé

One more sleep. 🫠

Kirishima presumably reflecting on his actions, wondering when/if Yoshino will ever acknowledge him again. It’s nice how the anime gives this moment a bit of room to breathe. Rather than keeping it a tight shot.

Last episode coming up. Looking forward to some of these moments but also really sad things are wrapping up with no indication another season or even another chapter is coming. #RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiancé 🌸

The Belligerent Sexual Tension is off the charts and I’m HERE FOR IT. 🥵

Glad they animated the extra showing how Shouma and Tsubaki met because it explains so much about their dynamic and sets up the possibility of a payoff later.

Also it’s fucking hilarious. 😆

The art aside this a wild moment because you really don’t know where he’s coming from.

Is he using a line most girls want to hear from him? Is he really thinking she’s now his true match and ready to be *ahem* deflowered? Is he just amped up after a fight? When she say ‘’Maybe… no?” he backs down.

Long day in the office being social. Going home to do some Christmas shopping and write a holiday party fic based on this sketch. And sleep. 😮‍💨

Will probably finish the fic and not the shopping. 😽 #YakuzaFiancé is a bad title for a fantastic manga called #RaiseWaTaninGaIi 🌸

How it started. How it’s going.

#RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiance

(If I posted every time I thought about this thing I’d be all over your TL it would be rage-inducing. Or a good thing, I dunno.)

Looking forward to this one: Ep 9/Ch 17: TBH I Want to Marry You

Kirishima uses judoka skill and brute strength whereas Yoshino is a scrappy bitch who goes as all out as she can—with varied results. 🫠

Ends (hopefully) with a chef’s kiss battle couple power pose.

Ch17/Ep8: TBH, I Wanna Marry You

Mutual loathing: At the end of the Osaka arc Shouma says Yoshino can marry any guy who can kill him. Kirishima would love to try. 😈

Hoping these two team up against a common enemy (Azami) before going back to hating each other. #RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiance 🌸

Who else was like ‘Damn, hope he’s got a bag of rice in his hotel room cause that phone is toast!’. Just me?

🥵🥵🥵

Manga Ch16/Anime Ep7

Battle couple mode: Engage. (Hah.)

The moment Yoshino takes charge always gets me. She’s absorbed so much in her young life—watching men run things poorly. 😤 Silly Kirishima thinking she was just going to sit at home while he had all the fun. #RaiseWaTaninGaIi #YakuzaFiance 🌸

Nancy Drew and the Case of the Missing Bananas (thanks for sharing the clip @mitsoory.bsky.social )

DEEN. THE HELL, DEEN. WHAT DID YOU DO. Like is this the kind of fabric where in direct sunlight a flashy pattern strobes out? #WHEREARETHEBANANAS #RaiseWaTaninGaIi YakuzaFiance if you must 🌸

Singing the song of his people.

This one was Deeply Annoyed because I had the audacity to get up to use the bathroom and they got cold. 😾

Yoshino: How I feel when I get a Twitter notification.

Kirishima: How I feel when I get a Bluesky follow notification meaning SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT #RAISEWATANINGAII #YakuzaFiance too I guess 🌸

The theme of Fendi’s socially distant 2021 spring collection was home life and comfort in a time of uncertainty.

Tailored items in soft linens, quilting, lace, and a neutral palette were featured with shoes like these laser cut leather pumps designed to resemble pointelle socks.
